If it is OK with you Don I would like to try something that I conjured up in my mind about a year ago. After my grandfather died my grandmother gave me some of his old knives and they were mostly just old worn out knife parts but like I always do I save everything. In the sack was parts of an old barlow and an old electricians knife that had a brass liner and on the screwdriver part of the knife the liner was split and bent outward to form the lock when the screwdriver part was opened. I kept them and I would often take them out and look at them and thought they would make good patterns for some new knives. Well, when you came up with this thread to make a liner lock barlow, the light bulb just popped up above me and I thought it was a good idea to make a barlow with this old pattern and use the pattern from the electricians knife to make it a liner lock barlow. It will probably be pretty close to your pattern.
