Hi chaps,
In my endless quest to improve the quality of my knives and the processes used in making them I came across a new way of pinning together a shadow pattern slipjoint. After discussing the method with Todd Davison (credit where it is due) I decided to put it to the test. I had a blade that didn't turn out quite right and have been using it to test a couple of different nail nicks which would be good for testing out this new pin method.
I did a full write up on my web site at http://knives.mutantdiscovery.com/destruction.html.
Now onto the testing.. after a bit of
we ending up with this
but the pin still held firm through out it all
I'll definitely be using this method in my shadow pattern slip joints from now on. A big thanks goes out to Todd Davison as well for spending the time to explain it to me.
