Hump Dayyyyyyyyy!
 
^ :D

Folders are finally ready! I'll get pics as soon as possible.

I'm also hoping for some ultrasound pics myself... pretty exciting! We only have a couple of months to go. :D :eek:
 
I love working for beer!

The coffee shop across the street from me has now started serving beer and I maintain several of the employees bicycles. They usually just shoot me a gift card for payment but now they serve beer! So, I can work for beer!


Making the most of my day off, currently 5 beers deep. It's gonna be a good day! Lol!


Cheers homies!

Hey guys! The ultrasound went well and all is looking good! :D :D :D Good news...

Cheers Xander! That rocks...

Thanks Rolf! It is fun. :D
 
I was considering running to the shop but I might take the whole day off just for kicks! It has been a while... I do have some locally made Rum from Ian's Alley in Mancos... it looks good!


Random Question - Is there a name for a lock mechanism that is like a liner lock but just the lock part? Ti or steel lock attached to inside of a synthetic scale? I have seen them done and want to know if it is an original/patented/unique design or if it is open to do?
 
History[edit]
Liner lock knives have been around since the late 19th century. The Cattaraugus liner locking patent, 825,093 was issued on July 3, 1906. After 1923 when the patent expired, it was used by other manufacturers such as in the common military and lineman's issue two-blade electrician’s knife; the Camillus TL-29 for the locking screwdriver-stripper blade, until 2007 when the Camillus Cutlery Company went out of business.[1]

Walker refined and popularized the design,[2][3] eventually securing a trademark [4] for the name "Linerlock."[5][6] Walker's main contribution to improve the design was to facilitate true one handed opening of the knife.[7] This was accomplished by removing the weak back spring and adding a heat-treated stop pin to align the blade in the open position.[7] Walker added a detent ball to hold the blade in the closed position using the same spring force from the liner.[7][8]

From the Wiki. It's the internet, not sure how legit yo.
 
Not sure I completely understand the question. Are you talking about basically a leaf spring that acts as a lock bar attached to a scale? I think I have seen some walmart type Gerber knives like this.

Yep! I was just checking... it does not seem like an original idea but you know...

I think the "leaf lock" would be sweet with a .100" lock bar set in a .187" CF scale. Big and light!

My MCUSTA folder has that kind of liner lock... The Kershaw skyline does too... I like it. Slim and light.
 
Congratulations on the ultra sound , the 3D ones are amazing ! Exciting stuff. Enjoy some time off.

My skyline (sitting right next to me) is a traditional liner lock with a full sized locking liner. He means just a single leaf spring the size of just the lock bar itself, not part of a liner, and attached to a scale. From how I understand his question.
