I am currently working on a parameterized slipjoint design.
I understand that there are quite a few aspects are simply "designer's preference" and there is no way to put any hard requirements on those. However, I have found that relative to tangs and blades and accompanying springs there are actual 'rules of thumb' if not actual rules of physics
one breaks such rules at his own peril
So far I have been able to apply some of these to design a spring and blade pair that is infinitely scalable.
I am currently looking at 'handles', frames, dies, bodies, ( essentially liner/scale/bolster combinations). Seems no two designers use the same terms in my reading.
I have since captured 30+ classic templates. They are currently spline collections, but not yet married to the blade/spring generation.
I'm getting there. Any suggestions?
