In this Video I show you, how I make my first ever framelock folding knife, using no mill but only my cheap drill press. I am very pleased with the accuracy, the blade is nicely centered and the action is smooth as butter. The stainless steel bearings make the blade fall under its own weight. I hope, you enjoy watching.

Some dishwashing soap in your container helps to catch the grinding dust so there's nothing floating on top of the water

@BrOkEnSkAtEr1295 Год назад

I feel you man, I became a machinist so I can learn to do things like this, almost 6 years in, I got a Bridgeport mill as a gift and I still don’t even have a garage to set it up. But be patient man, it’s about the little steps. I had no skills with my hands other than turning a screw 5 years ago and now I make parts for airplanes. I’ve come a long way yet I still feel far from my goal. But you’re off to a great start tho, watching these videos are actually extremely helpful.

I don't have a belt sander and I'm thinking of making a folding pocket knife. I made a damascus kiritsuke knife, but it was days of hard work, experimentation, failures. I just don't have money for all the big machines. I just bought a few small ones like dremel, etc...

@rvdKnives 9 месяцев назад

Thats a good start. I also didnt have the money for all the machines. I bought a Drillpress for 60 $ and all the other machines I built myself. You can make a good knife with not more than filing by hand. I made all my first knifes this way. It takes a lot of time but you can achieve the same results

I'm up in Canada can't seem to find a supplier nearby, so I'm probably going to have to order some out of the US...

Basicly with the pull back of a sliding button; two slingshot posts flick out from either side. And two slots in posts for quick setup of bands. I dont know the first place to begin. Do you have any ideas on the sping release and button system? Ballberring release or double friction spring or what? Prezzies for next christmas. Cheers nathan

Any worries the frame lock will kick out if there's any pressure against the spine of the knife with the angle in both the knife and frame lock? Seems with it being angled like that it'd help it kick out if you get what I mean?
