So glad I found this channel as I have started making my own knives. Great to get a break down of how slip joints work. Especially the back spring. I do have a question about a knife I bought. It has good spring tension when opening and in the half stop. But when open the blade is held open but very weakly. It doesn’t take a lot to start pushing it closed, but only for and inch or so. Is that because of how the blade is ground? The blade is not ground well where it meets the back spring. Not level front to back or side to side. Or is the the back spring?

You are Wonderful!!

Great video. What would you use injunction of the pins ,lets say if you wanted to make removable scales or bolster ?

try putting the tip of the spring to the bottom of the blade pivot hole with the other two pins in place and you will have good tension

Thumbs up for the video, Can you please share the blueprints in the link. It will so helpful.

Most importing thins would be what is the hardness of spring steel

Thanks!!

👌

bonjours votre ressort est deja tremper et comment mettez vous la tension merci d avance un frenchy de lyon

Repairs to old knife: What I want to know is how you put the blade pin in with the knife assembled? Are you suggesting you remove the back bolster pin and put it in last?

interesting !

💫🧸💫🙂👍

i would have ground out a longer are on the lockbar and not as deep , so as to spread the tension over the bar . your is placing too much tension on the peak of that curve

I recently bought a slipjoint and i'm afraid of my spring breaking 💀

Its not clear exposition.... need some draws or animation.... its an good effort, anyway, 😊thanks

pro but annoying :)

Great video
