lock angle

could someone please refresh my memory on what the angle for liner locks should be(where the back of the blade meets the lock)hopefully you guys can invision what i`m trying to explain...i`m not very good at describing stuff!

here is where i`m at so far..

Well you will proably get different answers on this one, they can run between 7 and 12 deg, I make mine at about 7 dg
I started off making them with a twelve dg angle on the back of the blade but it seemed like when a lot of pressure was applied on the blade it locked the blade in pretty tight so I started experimenting around and found anything around 7 or 8dg seemed to work better for me.

Hi Ron that sure seems to be coming along fine. 10 or 11 degres has always worked fine for me. Frank

cool..then memory served me well..i have it set at 10

Glad things worked. I'll try to remember that angle when I get into folders, which seems inevitable and kind of exciting to think about.

I have a LL here, Don Zack helped me get going on, but not making much progress, for varioius reasons.

Someday, I'll be asking folder questions, for sure.
