If you have no steel cutting band saw, a hack saw or a cutoff wheel in an air grinder or dremel can be used.

i do not have a metal bandsaw, yet. I do have a dremel and some hacksaw blades. I found out recently the fiberglass cutoff wheel works super well on steel. I also have a 6" grinder I use mostly for buffing.

Hey Ed, just watch the sparks off the Ti. It will set things on fire pretty quick if you get it hot and you just have to wait for it to stop burning.

Looks like a job for a class D type 1 extinguisher.

Think for this one I will use stainless or brass instead of Ti untill I can get some additional things to handle the metal.

I am also going to contact a guy I know who makes some AWSOME damascus and do the blade in that.

Ed, brass won't work for a linerlock. stainless won't either unless you know how to heat treat it to spring hardness after the liners are finished. Use Ti. It makes a natural spring.

Very nice work, Joe.

I notice that you chose to use a blade stop pin instead of using the back spacer as the stop.

Is this your first linerlock?

What is the handle made of? Ironwood?

Don't forget to show us the next one.

Thanks , Don ! This was not my 1st linerlock , I make my 1st in May. I went to the stop pin after I accidently ground the back of my blade too short & decided that was easier than making a new backspacer. The handle is stabilized maple burl .
