Nicely done ! I worked on my new LF last night and added some swedges as well. I also worked on the action and lightenned the pull from a 7+ to a pinchable 6 by rounding and polishing the part of the tang that first contacts the backspring when opening.

From my old friend Dean51

"On your knife you want to concentrate your polishing on that portion of the tang, that rubs the spring first when you start to open the blade.

The first half of the radius will smooth out that initial movement ½ way to the half stop position.
The second half of the radius will smooth out the rest of the movement to the half stop.
It can also soften the closing snap, you may or may not want to do that.

Concentrate most of your polishing on the first half of the radius. That will give you time to get a two finger grip to open the rest of the way.

Again go slowly, remember you can take metal off but you can't put metal back on."

Nice work Steve, well done In terms of lightening the pull, there's some good advice linked to in the Guardians Thread Index, including similar advice to that given to you by Dean

Beautiful examples, Charlie! That two-blade looks great, really interesting long/slim pen.

I've got Tool Man picking me up in the morning to go to a Car Boot Sale.

Hopefully the hood (bonnet?) stayed attached to his vehicle this time!

The car boot sale was pretty mediocre. My mate got 3 large Stilson wrenches for £15, and I got a blackcurrant and apple crumble! I reckon I won

Looks great, Jack!

Nice photo Jon. Good to see your lamb my friend.

It's great to see you here Jon Hope everything is going OK with the little 'un, and that your first day back at work went alright Great pic of your Lambsfoot

Thanks Todd and Jack. It’s definitely busy at home and tiring, but it’s all worth it.

Luckily only 6.5 more weeks of school and I’ll be done with my degree so there will be one less thing in my plate. I went with my lamb, and my favorite, from Todd today

Good Morning Guardians. Running a little late this morning for my tee time in Myrtle Beach. A bit of a drive (no pun intended) but not terrible. Have my HHB with me. Just informed that my membership had expired - re-upped. Worth every penny.

I like that photo John, looking forward to sitting by a fire. It’s so humid right now I can barely keep my cigar lit! Now if that isn’t a first world problem I don’t know what is.
