    Folders: Pocket clip position...and the safety/liability factor involved

    I don't want to start a big ruckus, but I am pretty sure that the femoral artery is on the inside of the thigh.

    Folders: Pocket clip position...and the safety/liability factor involved

    I have thought about this before Ed. I considered that the tip up position was potentially dangerous and normally build my folders tip down. I have built several tip up, but did not consider the economic consequences of a lawsuit when I did so. After I read your post, I thought about it more...

    Effectiveness of Acetone/Kerosene and dry ice??

    Thank you Kevin for that information. If you don't mind I would like to say back to you what I think I got out of it and you tell me if I am correct or not. With simple carbon steels like 1095, 1080, etc. they may benefit from a continued cooling after quench, even as simple as the freezer...

    Lapping pivot hole in blade

    A new Norton sandpaper

    Frank, I use them all the time and they work great for me. I use the 60, 120 & 220. I won't use anything else. Mike, they work great on both wood & metal, but as Frank said, they are great on titanium. I use them dry, but they still work if you get them wet. I don't know about actually...

    Ever hit a roadblock that you just can't seen to get past?- or how to make a folder!

    I make a knife on paper first. I use a stick pin to open & close it after cutting out the pattern. Then I use some cheap 1/8" aluminum to make a blade & liners from the pattern. I drill & thread them just like I would the real stuff. That allows me to actually see it function. On the last...
