In my second lockback

Trying positively reinforce what I had learned from the days I spent with John L, new design lock-back #2 from scratch about 6.5" opened with a sweet little clip point blade.

Just trying to cement the fundamentals while they are semi-fresh the fine tuning will come with time I will more than likely redo everything and get it just right.

Back to other stuff I need to get out

Thanks

I get scared every time I look at a folder. lol.

Looks great to me. What's that blue stuff on your blade?
 
Dye-chem layout fluid, you can go through a lot of that stuff in the building process.

Easy Chuck one thing at a time, I do have the spring temper for ATS-34 and can only imagine it will work for cpm 154.

John let me have an example of ones that he did that to.

Just a quick comment, Looks great, but I see two spots where the edge seems to stop the blade closing travel instead of an unsharpened area. It looks to me like the lockbar has a swelling at about a quarter of the way into the blade that the blade will use as a closing stop for lack of other motion stop, and also once again at the tip it seems that the edge will find the spacer block. On my Buck 110 there is a swelling at the ricasso that when closed rests against the lockbar which usually arrests travel before the edge makes contact with anything hard. As the Buck wears down from sharpening I usually have to file this swelling down to keep the sharp part of the tip contained within the handle (one of my pet peeves about the Buck design, as you sharpen them the tip line rapidly leaves the handle and I start getting pinky cuts.) sooner or later I am going to have to finish the folder I started or, more likely start a new one. I hope mine looks half as good as yours is looking like it will be!

It smells good too!:D here is a hint it will fill the deepest scratch on any blade, when the color is gone you can move onto the next grit it works well try it!

Never thought of that use! I used to do that with different colors of primer when I was sanding out cars, I will definitely try that with Dychem

Thanks,
