Help on designing/making of the ricasso and tang of the folding knife

[Conbon96]

I am very new to knife making and I understand how to design and create everything but this. Any tips or advice will help

That is a huge request. What type of folding knife are you referring to ? Have your looked at WIPs? Frank

My best suggestion would be to get a copy of a folder making knife book where it is all explained. There are many types of folding knives, and each is designed and built different. Some of the folder books are available for download, IIRC.

Additionally, there are dozens of threads and WIPs on this subject. Use this search engine to find topics and things of interest on BF:

Is this along the lines of what you are looking for? I too am doing research for making folders and Steve's tutorials and personal advice have done a lot to further my understanding of the principles.
