Hidden disk in Sebenza

I just could not tolerate the lock moving all the way over to the other handle scale every time I cut hard with it. ...
With or without the disk, the lock lug will go all the way over. It will never rest on the disk.

It's probably just a nomenclature issue, but I don't get the second statement quoted above, because in the first statement quoted you said it bothers you.

So what exactly did this fix?
 
Ah, some things are over my head! Thanks for the links, but it still doesn't make logical sense to me...

I am glad you figured it out and it works, I am just a Doubting Tom when it comes to some things. But I'm looking down at my Seb right now and I still don't see it but you've made me think, and the internet doesn't usually do that!

Thanks!
 
I understand #1 about not springing when unlocking. The disc acts as a stop.

Now.................

What is the debth of the milled out part the disc fit in ?

What is the thickness of the disc ?

The disc is attached to the lock bar..... therefore moves with it.

When the blade is open and the lock bar moves to the locked position the disc moves inside the milled out part on the other side of the lock bar cut ... does the disc still fit inside that milled out part when the blade is locked ?

If the answer to this is ...yes.... then I see it.

It would stabalize the lock bar so there could be no "play" in it caused by squeezing it tightly.

Is that right ???

I read the Rick Hinderer thing also. It was not too easy to understand either...... :eek:

IF, the above is how it works.... you did good.....:thumbup:

And again......the workmanship looks impressive....... :thumbup:

I put in a stablizer on the inside so it can't be easily seen(not to disturb the beautiful lines of the Seb). It does work in curbing lock travel. I am well pleased with it. 1. No it does not contact the blade. 2. No it does not weaken the lock.

This is what threw me.... what you said in your first post... the first sentence. I thought you were saying the disc would cure how far the lock bar traveled during lock up.

That is not what you were saying ...... was it ?
 
I'm still confused. I can see how this would stop overtravel when closing the knife. If that is the goal then cool, looks like it would work fine. I also originally thought your intent was to keep it from traveling to far during hard cutting, which I just can't figure out how this would affect that. Anyway....worksmanship looks great.
 
I am also confused. I can only deduce that the pin holding the disk extends far enough to hit the other side of the inside handle before the lock overextends but not enough to hit the blade when closed??
 
^^^ Thats what I was thinking also, alejandrino, but if that was the case, the pin would rub against the blade then the knife was closed.
 
Just look at a Strider SNG. I know many of you have access to them.

You know, I think I am being "played", If so, :), fellas I am just too old to get upset.

Have a good day.:rolleyes:
 
Gullwing---I think those boys ARE really confused. It does take a little thinking to see what I think you mean! Ask Chris Reeve what is his take is on this design. That will be an interesting reply. Take care.

Being "played"...... I don't think so. I am trying to understand ..... :confused:

Please look at and answer my post # 25....... is that how it works ?

I would really like to know........... :thumbup:

Thank's in advance.......

We trying to understand, it's just your words don't seem to match each other or the pictures.

It acts like the Hinderer, I got it.

Sorry, GW, if you think that of me ! I would never dream of playing you !!My apologies !!
 
Dude, no playing here... just want to figure it out. Because if it DOES work, I'm all over it for a few of my other framelocks. My Seb's cool as of yet.
 
I just enjoy throwing my $.2 in where it's unwarranted and confusing to others. :)

I get what you mean now that I've thought about it more. I too was confused by the comment about the lock traveling all the way to the other side when squeezed during hard use. In reality what you've done is created the same concept as the Hinderer stop, but on the inside of the lock where it's unobtrusive. I dig it.

And still, anybody who drills up an expensive knife in the pursuit of an innovative idea is ok with me.

While you may not have been drinking while you wrote your post, I most likely was drinking when I read it. That's just how I roll.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

But Gull Wing I appreciate your efforts and idea. Like the Prof., I share concerns about your idea infringing on a patent or copyright by Rick.

IMO I think the Sebenza is just dandy the way it is. I've settled in real nice with my large micarta inlay and feel that it's capabilities exceed any forseeable use of my knife, even in its virgin state.:eek:
