My best guess is he's saying he cut's it in 2 pieces and makes sure it matches together like a puzzle so it becomes almost like a fixed blade. That's my best guess.
For cutting it out that I can understand what he saying more, he makes 3 pieces because if you have a block A--(cut)--B and it's 9in exactly and want a 9in piece of metal after cutting whatever he needs to cut afterwards it won't happen as the saw blade will be removing metal the same width as the saw blade. So there be a small variance even if he were to even use a bigger block and cut in the middle and try to join them together afterwards. So his solution is to have a A--C(cut to here, disposable piece)---B block, C being a dedicated area where he cuts to that point but leaves a chunk of metal so not to go in block B so blocks A & B are "perfect" and will fit together better. And these super tight tolerances when cut a certain way will create something that is almost like a fixed blade when put together if you have something secure them down as there will be almost zero play in theory. That is what I am guessing is going on.
Though I am kind of hoping I am not right because if I am I think this may be the knife's downfall because it would need some extremely tight tolerances to work as he desires in real world use. I fear dirt, grime, rust, etc would degrade the performance more so than practically any other common locking mechanism. And I question how the knife would hold up if I were to ever slightly damage it if were to put it to hard use with those tight tolerances it relies on.
Though this is the best guess at what he is saying, I am not 100% certain I fully understand what he is saying.
Looks like a Loveless drop point to me, but it's your knife. You can call it whatever you like. :thumbup:
