ReMake No. 1

Dec 23, 2007 - update:

---

Took a blade from a "Mustang" knife.
Opened up the thumb pin hole to accept chicago-screw for upper handle.
It flips and locks open/closed without a tang pin.
Unfinished condition. Needs final fitting of handles and rivet filing, polishing, etc .
Will be adding holes/dimples/notches in safe handle for grip.
Design done in "CADSTD".

---

Blade: Permanently "borrowed" from a folder.
Handles: 0.094" brass sheet.
Pivots: Chicago screws shortened and heads turned down to match diameter of the 1/4" long stainless 8-32 button head screws.
Spacers: Aluminum, 0.160 thick.
Washers: Phosphor Bronze, 0.015" thick.
Rivets: Finishing nails, approx. 0.090" dia.
    Brass was countersunk and rivets forced down into the brass for a sturdy rivet head.

Blade: fake damascus "etching".

Blade washers seen here:

Safety Pin: 1/16" brass rod. It keeps the blade point from popping out and attacking the "flippee".
    Better block design would eliminate this pin.

---

Handles:
    Notches, etc for grip.
    Rivets smoothed out.

---

Locking Pin:
    Since putting a pin into the blade was not doable, it's here in the handle.
    I had thought that just locking the handles during a tight holding grip would suffice, but no.
    Before this pin was installed and pressure was put on the blade edge, the handles opened up. Bummer.

Other Side:

It Fits Like This...

And finally, the blade locking pin, in the handle.

Here, the locking pin can be seen:
