liner spacers for a liner lock

[nate d.]

hello all,

I'm wanting to build some liner lock pocketknives and want to leave as much of a gap in between the liners as possible. If I want a small round spacer with a hole in it to install in the rear of the knife, do i have to make those spacers myself or can i buy something from somewhere?? I'd like to keep from using a block spacer. material isn't an issue here in my case.
thanks for everyone's help, advise and overall assistance.

MSC sells electrical standoffs that can be used for this purpose. You can get their catalog by calling 1-800-645-7270.

I make all my back spacers from stainless steel rod, usually 1/4" diameter.

I like the look of an open back folder. I haven't used a solid back spacer for several years.
