By now I like to feel that I have a grasp of my own making process. I have batch of 3 folders underway that are about 85% complete. I've got the locks cut, detent installed and what remains is basically the final finish and fit-up. Prior to disassembly they all worked. Came back to them last week and the blades did not match the body. I'm thinking, ok, I may have swapped blades so tested each blade among the 3 bodies. 2 fit but the third one is a "WTH" moment. It doesn't match any of the bodies and looks like I ground the stop about 1/8" off.
The other part is that even though the bodies are still supposed to be oversized by 1/32" I've already over shaped around the bolsters that I have more blade exposed for the blade arc. Read that as I now need to make new liners and bolsters. Luckily the handle scales are still within range but this batch is a head scratcher. Particularly bad because this is some old school damascus from Daryl Meir that I'm not about to be circular file.
moment. LOL...
