slip joint folder
I am in a quandry. I have been building knives for almost 40 years and am a member in good standing in the knifemakers guild. I build liner locks but have decided to venture into slip jointknives. Is there a formula for the positioning of the pivot pin relative to the liners and the blade. I cannot find any information on this step. The rest of the knife is pretty much of a no brainer. It cannot be "trial and error as anything mechanical has a formula regardless of its size. Please someone help me. Bob Levine levineknives@msn.com 931 454-9943

Bob,
I'm not sure what you're asking but, Bill Vining posted a tutorial on making a Texas Toothpick under the WIP Tutorials sub-form at the Knifedogs site that shows a halfstop slipjoint's geometry and I have started a WIP in the same forum on how I did one, "Lemony Snicket". Jay |

You want your pivot pin position to be 45% from the front and 45% from the bottom.

Relative to what?

Total width of your knife at the pivot pin area.

This doesn't go into detail about pin hole placement, but maybe some of the pictures and comments will help some: http://chriscrawfordknives.com/#/sli...ife/4535414914
