Hexagonal Birdseye Pivot

I was puttering in the shop today and grinding out a Sod buster. I have started putting Birdseye pivots on a lot of my folder after seeing a folder from Alistair Phillips and thought about working with the idea a bit. I looked around and couldn't find anyone branching out with this idea.

I inlayed the hexagon washer using BossDog's idea around shields. I made a simple pattern out of O1 and hardened it. with the pattern it was simple to cut the hexagonal pocket.
