Just to let the owner know the mail arrived way late today but I did just now open up your Swamp Rat Rat Trap folder to look it over.

I see what you are referring to regarding the play. I'll know more when I get inside it but there are things ahead of it so its going to be next week probably mid week most likely before I can check it out.

It is here though.

FYI. Stay tuned to this thread we'll get some before and after scans up.

Figure I better go ahead and stick some scans up of it showing the folder before. Note the lock travel. Pretty typical after a while with these thinner liners. This knife isn't really that old either.

I got this one done pretty easily. I think it should be ok for you for a while. Well, at least that is my hope. I guess we'll see huh? Anyway, its all knocked out and adjusted back to a nice lock up.

The knife got back here today, and I'm extremely pleased with the lock-up. I don't know what you did -- it seems like a brand new liner. In any case, the knife now functions better than I knew it could -- certainly better than I expected even considering the high regard I have for your work.

Thanks again Steve.
