Very nice review TF. I love that knife and intend to get one soon. I was actually very close to ordering but now I'm confused after seeing this! http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=718757

Dude - he is making slippies too! Awesome. I, personally am a straight knife person, but I can see your confusion.

Ray - are you making your own springs too?

Yes, I'm making slippies! All parts are done by me. In the next couple of months, hopefully linerlocks too For liner locks, I'll be buying the screws, thumb studs and maybe pocket clips.

Wow, great knife and great review Tal! I'm a "secret" admirer of Ray's work. I especially like the thumb notch on the handle, must be great for chest lever cuts! :thumbup:

I'm going to have pick up one of Ray's folders. I just got one of Ray's Kepharts, and it is a great knife.

Ray,

How to do you make the spring? Is it even really a 'spring'? Does it take a different heat treat?

It's an honest to goodness real spring! Same steel as the blade and hardened the same way but tempered differently. Quite simple actually, much easier than heat treating a blade!
