I measure the thickness of the spine and work from there. It's .135" blade thickness + (2) washer thickness = spine thickness Since they're from the same barstock, I'll need to take material off the blade. Finished blade thickness should be .105" |

Both washers together are .030. |

Finished blade thickness should be .105", taking just .030" material off the blade. This is where the guys with a surface grinder have an advantage. Take measurements all along the blade to make sure you are keeping an even takedown. I took this blade down to .115, the remaining .010 taken off after HT. Reason for leaving a little is to remove any "kinks" made during HT. |

I made this little jig out of .050" Ti, 3 holes in it, eached tapped for 0-80, 1-72, 1nd 2-56. Here I have screwed in one of the pivot pins. They are too long and hit each other inside the pin, so I need to knock some off. This will hold it for me. It's also handy later in the process |
