That's a neat little folder!
As for the pins.....did you just recess larger washers and peen the pins to fill the holes in the middle of the washers? Nice design, and you didn't have to mess with bolsters! Kevin. |

yea Kevin, they are just large 1/2" washers with a 3/32 pivot pin penned in. For some reason I really like the look and think I'll play with the idea.
I've had a good response with the folder design, I already have two orders Erik |

I like the idea of no bolsters. The design will lend itself to just about any kind of handle material.............a good way to use a nice small piece of wood.

Very nice! I really like the pins as well! You mentioned that you used washers and pins. How thick were the washers?
