Liner material sources

[Mike Fennessy]

I've been searching around but haven't found what I'm looking for. Actually I found more than I understand, so I'm looking for real basic info.

I want to make a simple folder but don't know what to get for liner material or where to get it. I'll be using ss for the bolsters and O1 for the blade and spring (unless that's not a great choice, if so lemme know). It won't be a liner lock if that makes a difference.

Thanks for any info,
Mike

You will probably want 410 or 416 SS approx .040 thick. O-1 and SS bolsters are good choice. You also want SS 410 pins for peining...3/32 for pivot and spring pivot and 1/16 for peining scales. Midwest knife supply has this material as do many others.
