Neither one.
I cut it using my surface grinder. Tilted the knife blade up about 20 degrees on a sin fixture. Where you been Jeffrey? I don't like fly cutters either. |

I've been doing a few projects, not as much time right now with a new baby in the house (year old now) I finished a s30v with carbon fiber recently, scaled down version of your warncliff liner lock.
So you dress the wheel square and raise the blade about 20 deg. Do you grind the nick before grinding the blade bevel and before heat treat? |

I have just downloaded the trial version of DeltaCAD 6.0 and am going to try it for myself. The trial version works for 45 days and if you purchase it the price is $39.95 and you download it immediately after online payment. I believe this will help me make fewer mistakes and probably speed things up in the long run. Their website says it is the easiest CAD software program to learn, we will see. If Don Robinson uses it then there must be something to it.

Hi, Gil.
I've been using CAD programs since they were invented. I used to design progressive stamping dies and lots of other manufacturing tools. The CAD software I used was much more capable than DC, but a good CAD software costs thousands of dollars. You can see from my knife designs that DC certainly works, but doesn't have some of the capabilities of more expensive programs such as automatic isometric views And it's much faster to learn!!! |

This is wonderful! I'm going directly to your site to buy the pattern. You mentioned some time ago that you might post a picture of the jig you made for measuring the rise and fall of the spring in a slip joint. That would be great if you have a minute. Also, where do you buy Crucible steel and do they have a website? Off to your site... Rebecca |

Google Crucible Steel and then go to their closest distributer. Would you like me to make you an indicator jig? If so, then email me and we'll talk about it. I made mine after seeing one used by another maker, so I can't produce the design and claim any credit for it. I might as well tell you that Bill Ruple came up with this. The design is for a 2 blade Trapper like the fine looking one you made. |
