Ok so I'm trying to make a karambit folder. After making it work on paper I made my liners, blade and installed the pivot. I then traced the point where the lock would be and cut it out with my dremel. I'm just wondering how most folder makers cut the line for the lock, is it something that most have done by laser? I don't see how a bandsaw could make such a sharp turn in the middle of the metal. When I traced the lock portion of the blade I should have cut in front of the line, so I learned that lesson, but as for regularly cutting in locks I'm just curious to the average makers process. These are definitely not problems I have with my fixed blades for obvious reasons. I'm really itching now to make a compact, streamlined folding karambit that's easily concealed and reliable without ripping off other makers.
