SuperJuice KFS4

He's sickeningly good at this isn't he?

[ryan1835]

Yep, makes me wish I went into tool making

I'm not a machinist, so there might be an obvious answer, but would some grease/lube be useful in preventing the galling?

[Fisting_Chili]

Damn I'm impressed!    Other than being able to spell "titanium" I wouldn't have the slightest idea of where to start something like that.  Nice work buddy!

Then things were proceeding nicely again, until it became apparent that my pivot screws are too short. The ones I bought from www.knifekits.com are one half inch long:



Unfortunately, it appears they need to be just a little bit longer. These are already the longest ones knifekits sells, so I'll have to make my own.

Just curiously, what diameter are the pivot pins?

I have a coupla semi-børked Juices, and have been considering a layer mod, and really REALLY didn't wanna have to deal with peening pins!

(Before anybody asks: Knife, Scissors+Bottle Opener, Saw (yes, saw)+Awl, File. No serrated knife, no freakin' corkscrew. Basically, a KF4 with scissors instead of the serrated blade.)

I'm betting they're prolly some 300-series stainless. Too bad you couldn't harden them...

WOWSERS Bob , that is looking Brilliant  


I have been wondering about how hard it would be to put a thumb stud on a Buck110 I have on the way. Sounds a bit tricky

Bob GREAT work mate  

You have seen these right?  I have some and they work great on my 110's.

Nothing. Not one darn iota of progress in the last month, due to all the equipment at work being tied up on "company business." (sigh) But I'll be back on it soon enough.

The Juice pins are 5/32 (or .156") in diameter. Unfortunately though, they are just slightly too short to work on a tool of Kf4 thickness.  You would have to drop one whole layer in order for these pins to work. 

I'm not willing to do that, so I'll be making my own (longer) ones out of brass. I'll crank out a few extras if you want.

Nope. All the machinery at work is tied up right now doing "company" work.

Hats off to you, your Juice mod is turning out absolutely great  You pay attention to detail, much like myself. I am a big fan of thumbstuds. Looking forward to seeing it completed.....
