first crack at a slip joint

http://www.knifenetwork.com/forum/al...pictureid=2403


This is my first try at a slip joint, in the form of a 3" folding hunter. Hopefully I will finish it tomorrow

Well, I didn't finish it today but I did make the spring and set the rise and fall. It seems to be coming together well. More pics to come tomorrow when
I make it back to my shop

I finally got around to heat treating and put the knife together. The pivot is a birds eye of brass and all pins are 416 stainless. The liners are
17-4 stainless and handles are maroon linen micarta.
