Hi
Done some more work on the folder. A question When the linerlock is cut- how and where do you bend it? LJ |

I place the liner in a vise with the lock leaf vertical. The top of the vise jaws are even with the very back end of the cut. Then I use a wooden dowel against the lock leaf at it's very bottom and strike the dowel with a hammer.
That makes a straight leaf. Bend it so it's bent the thickness of your blade, no more. |
