Was what I wanted to say, it's worth the try.Maybe etching the guard in a little ferric chloride will reveal where the pin is?
Both are same steel ? But I will try that anywayMaybe etching the guard in a little ferric chloride will reveal where the pin is?
No gap there Fredy , I know how I peened that pin .I will try tomorrow with acid , now I cut carbon fiber and KevlarMaybe the acid finds the gap and etches differently?
It could be difficult to fix it on jig , guard is problem but maybe i can do that .But I wouldn't do that . Tapering 5mm M2 is not so easy with hand .If I make a mistake somewhere.... NM i will leave it as it is , i will make other one with tapered tang . In the meantime, I made new, different molds. With the last one, I threw away too much carbon and new one are more simple to makeThen taper with you jig starting half a cm behind the guard
Good job! Carbon junkieIt could be difficult to fix it on jig , guard is problem but maybe i can do that .But I wouldn't do that .

Well here they are , first marble carbon and carbon/kevlar pins .I make them 4.5mm and 8 mm just to see if this would work .And it works , I push them out of syringe with refrigerator compressor , they fly out like bullets I still can t find one of them

Not people walking in my shop , at the pharmacy, they asked me if I might have started using drugsGood job! Carbon junkieI wonder what people think walking in your shop full of siringes loaded with a black compound and oozing epoxy
Telling them the true, they would probably think you are mad - oh, don't worry about that, I am just making custom carbon pins for knives.![]()
I think you should send me a couple so I can inspect closely if they have any voidsMarble carbon junkie
