Making Patterns From Wood Cigar Boxes

Floppy cutting boards from the dollar store. Sometimes you can find them for 5 or 10 for a dollar!

That sounds like a really good idea. Durable but easy to cut and shape.

For fixed blades I use 1/8" micarta, for folders I use 3/32" A2 full hard.
That allows me to drill holes and scribe exact profiles so when grinding to the lines only takes a few minutes to set rise and fall.

I am sorry I do not know what "rise and fall" refers to. Can you describe it for me? Thank you.

That refers to the tang of a slip joint so that the spring sits flush in all positions
