And here's my start. All the pieces except the bolsters have been sawed out.

Two blades, two liners, one brass spacer, two back springs.

I'm using 3/32" thick 154CM for the blades and backsprings, .030" brass for the spacer. The liners are made of 0.040 thick 410 stainless.

Whatever steel you use, the blades and backsprings must be the same thickness.

I'll keep posting photos and instructions as I go. I'm here to teach you to make this folder for yourself.

Please ask any questions you have as we go within this thread. We all learn together from questions.

This is a cooperative effort, so please post photos of your work as we go. That's the only way I have of helping you with most problems.

I don't advise you to try this unless you've at least made a few fixed blade knives.
