liner lock help.

[bk-88]

Hey there everyone. Im sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find an answer in my sifting. Im currently working on a design for a folder that will use the liner lock format. In your opinion, what is the best steel and proper or preferred thickness for the frame/spring of the knife?

Your help is greatly appreciated! This is my first folder so wish me luck!

Hello BK,
Here are two pages from my new book "The Art Knives of Van Barnett & Dellana"
where I photographed in detail Van's making the liner lock mechanism
of a Folding Art Dagger for the book. The whole process of making
this folding dagger is displayed on 28 pages...

I hope this helps a little too...

All the best,
