Nother folder

[B.Barker]

Here is one of my folders that is just about finished. I make this style pretty often and have made brass templets of the blade and liner. I also put the original I copied in the photos with my rendering.

 Absolutely lovely (as all of your work).
 May I ask, how do you go about getting tension between the blade and the spring. Is it designed in or does it require fit and file?

[B.Barker]

If I pulled the knife apart and showed the spring laying against the liner you would see that it is bent downward. I ment to take a photo of that before I fastened everything together. But as usual I got in a bit of a hurry and forgot. I need to make another for myself because mine is getting pretty worn. Maybe I'll remember to get a photo of that one. The blade and spring have to be fitted carefully so the spring isn't to long or short.

Both are beautiful folders! Very nice work.

Nice. I'd like to see you do a "running hound dog" folder similar to the one created by Kyle Willard a few years back. You may have seen it. I loved that knife so much. (I even drew a plan for a lock blade version just for fun). I considered making one myself but sadly, I am a pretty fair to middlin draftsman, but have zero skills otherwise and know it would be a waste of materials for me to try.

Thanks guys.
Ken, I know the knife you are talking about. It's a pretty cool knife but I'm not wanting to get that crazy at this time.
