wanting to try, making a slipjoint

[beebee58]

Guys, I have gotten a little bored with making fixed blades and thought I would like to try my hand at a slipjoint.

I have read Chris Crawfords tutitoral on them and was wondering if there was anything eles that I should be looking at ?


I think I would like to start with a single blade Barlow I think, I'm not sure.


Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions, they would be very helpful.



Thanks in advance for your help

If you're interested I'm currently teaching a class on slipjoints via email.

Email me for the details.

The barlow challenge in the sticky at the top of the Folding Knife forum is open. There's a lot of information there if you have the patience to go thru all the threads.

Thanks Don,


I'll try and sit down and shoot you a e-mail as soon as I get the "honey do" projects done for the day.

I made my first slipjoint after reading "The Complete Book of Pocketknife Repair". No other tutorials. From that I gathered enough knowledge to make a working slipjoint.
