Is this forum for and of bladesmithing only?
Are there any folding knife questions brought up?

Last time I looked a folder had a blade also.

Jump on in Gull Wing, folders are welcome!

We talk about making all sorts of knives in here. If your just interrested in talking about different production folders or something like that you'd be more interested in the general section (link at top of page)
But if your wanting to make them then this is the place

GOOD!
I was hopeing so, the last question I posed here was left hanging out there with no replys. It involved a folder.

Question...
How do you keep a pivot pin from turning?
I cut a flat on the p pin shaft and then peen the Titanium liner to "lock" it in.

Also, I see there are "stepped" pivots for sale. These would be "pressed in" to fit I assume. Do these work?

 

[Bruce Bump]

A pin with a head can be pinned or pressed in the liner or frame. Ive have also drilled the pivot pin and set a ball in it and a resessed area.
