The road to my first framelock

I am real happy you finished and it works. You have been on a mission for a while to build it. It looks real good.

Thanks man

Yeah definitely something to be proud of!

Great to hear about the pivot bushing working out, how did that process go? Did you do it on your mill?

I did use the mill to trim it. I assembles the knife after all my counterbores were done then measured the dimension from one side of the pivot screw counterbore to the other. I found that in order to get the perfect result i needed to trim the barrel to a half thou less than that dimension. So far there is no play at all and the action is very free. I have been using it non stop so far and there has been no change. I just tighten the pivot as tight as possible and its good to go. I will continue to test and see if anything changes.
