You sure showed an amazing build thank you so much for sharing the whole build with us! So so looking forward to trying my hand at it! And man you really did a great peice here! What would you want for that knife? Thanks and look forward to hearing back from you when you get a moment! Cheers, Jerbs
Thank you! Unfortunately I really don’t know what kind it is. It was in some scrap sheet metal in a toolbox I picked up at a flea market. Seemed like it was from some sort of scraper. I just tested different pieces to find something that was stiff but still had some flex and straightened back to true each time.
I add it for looks and structural integrity. My early ones did not have liners and they’ve held up but I add the liners to make sure they do long term. It puts less stress on the wood.
Hi love your videos. I’m just starting to make folders myself. A couple of questions please. I noticed you used a corby bolt for the pin and so you could just tighten the down. How about the other pins? Did you peen them or use epoxy? Did you use any epoxy on the knife? Last question, I noticed you don’t have a kick in the blade or a stop pin. What stops the closed blade from dulling when it hits the lock back bar? Thank s very much for all of your videos!
Hey, glad you like the videos! For my fixed blades I use epoxy when attaching the scales. So the pins get inserted through that. For my folders I do not use epoxy. I peen the pins. Regarding the kick. On some blades I have more of a kick but I also actually use a raised portion of the lever that compensates (hits the kick/ricasso) so the blade edge never hits the lever.

Hi. I continue to watch your videos. Looks like you are really doing some great work. Love your channel. I had a question about the worksharp you use in this video. Is that what you are using to grind the secondary bevel (cutting edge)on your knives? This is something I continue to struggle with in my knife making journey. I've tried both stones and my little 1x30, but still struggle with getting a nice clean uniform cutting edge. Wondered if the worksharp or even the ken onion worksharp might help there. Appreciate any wisdom you are willing to share. All the best from TX.
I like it. I have the Ken Onion edition. I do find that it’s hard to keep my edge straight toward the ricasso. Probably just needed to practice more. I do recommend putting painters tape or similar on the blade if it’s finished as the dust build up will scratch it easily. I now use this. RUIXIN PRO RX-008 Professional Knife Sharpener a.co/d/1uQctse I use diamond stones from 320 to 1000.
@@c4knives thanks very much for the advice. Funny I was looking at that ruixin as well. I truly appreciate you taking the time to respond. Love your videos and your knives.
@jace Flare The small ones are cut form 1/8” dowels I pick up from Lowes. They come in 3’ lengths. Here are the corby bolts use for the tang and most of my fixed blades I make now. a.co/d/dLpjhf4

I could try. The thing is I just make them as I go. I don’t really use templates. If you want to find me on Facebook, C4 Knives, you can message me directly there. As well as see some of my other knife designs.
Amazing how you are just eye balling everything.
Excellent work and a beautiful knife.

That knife is already sold. But price on those starts at $125 depending on options. I do have a few others currently available.
…and thank you for the feedback!
Awesome video! What do you use for the spring mechanism? What is that thin piece that flexes?

Спасибо за информацию
No problem.
Great video. Is the brass liner just aesthetic or is it better to have some sort of liner with a folder?
I add it for looks and structural integrity. My early ones did not have liners and they’ve held up but I add the liners to make sure they do long term. It puts less stress on the wood.
@@c4knives thanks!
Из напильника сделать не проблема,вот как потом отпустить чтобы не крошится и в мякину не превратился,вот что интересно
Nice knife! You need a tripod for that camera bro!

From what you made A spring to The lock?

Hacksaw blades can make good spring-stock. I don't know whether they'd work for this project.
are you willing to create a template for this type of knife

You're going to cut a finger off holding an angle grinder like that.
An cutoff disc can't cut meat that fast.
Personal experience from multiple accidents.
@@anelpasic5232 it absolutely can, you just got lucky.
@@grayson8683 Lucky, 6 times altogether?
Well shit, maybe I should take a trip to Las Vegas...
@@anelpasic5232 what are you fucking up to misuse an angle grinder 6 times?
That’s not a lever lock.. it’s a lock back
Thanks.
Corrected the title.
