The All-American Lockback Folder Kit
I see that knife kits is out of stock on the All-American Lockback Folder Kits. Can anyone tell me if they will be back in stock soon. I wanted to order a few for x-mass gifts. It's a nice knife and fun to make.
Thanks, Whiskers |

i tried to order some recently and was told they are making improved changes to them, like a stainless liner instead of brass. Was told they would be back in stock soon.

i can see the stainless bolsters but why the liner? Also will the brass liners still be available? I sure hope so.

I am glad they lost the brass liners. You can get a real nice lustre, but it tarnishes quickly. Forget about the insides...
I wonder wny they went with brass pins on the LoneStar? I will be swapping those for some stainless pinstock as well. I have two on pre-order. What size are the pins in the LoneStar? I am assuming around 3/32". Mike |

I have had no problem with the brass tarnishing or any of that. Even the insides seem to hold up quite well. I was hoping they would have it available in both versions, brass and stainless.

Unfortunately we are discontinuing the brass liners on that model.
We're going to try a new twist with the Lone Star's, in the way the handles are assembled. I should have some parts images later this week to give you guys a peek at our new process.  Alex __________________ Alex Whetsell [======]~~~~~~~> Atlantavirtual.com Atlanta NOC |

suppose we could always just cut the stainless liner off toss it into the corner and put a brass one on. Also been toying with the idea of using a gold liner and sterling bolster.

Alex, I hope you are going to tell us the bolsters come separate from the liner. We can then dovetail the assembly. Either that, or you have found a way to make them integral to the liner. Mike Last edited by mike6640; 10-28-2006 at 01:55 PM. |

yes it's going to be a very pricy project just for the gold by itself, was looking at doing a gold ring
just on the edges and brass for the rest.Ed __________________ Gold is for the mistress - silver for the maid Copper for the craftsman cunning in his trade. "Good!" said the Baron, sitting in his hall But steel - cold steel is master of them all. Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936) |
