Ok blade isn't perfectly lined up closed but it closes ok and no blade play so I'm done with that,before I smooth everything down and get it all flush and polished I decided to start on the blade ,of course by hand,I'm filing the grind on it and it's actually very satisfying to do,I'll Finnish it off on my stones  :tu: that will do for today  :tu:
Well done Zed :2tu:

As regards the blade play and locking up, were you able to measure the thicknesses of the spring and blade tang? It might have been that the spring was a little too wide.

Aside from that, great job Paul  :tu:Good to hear you had fun doing it and learned something from it too. Would you have any tips for anyone else having a go at one of these?

Didn't think to do that Al as presumed it would all fit  :facepalm: tips, yeah powertools  :rofl: although by hand you do feel like you have achieved something  :tu: tips 1 don't over peen scales as they will split  :facepalm: that's pretty much it,it's fun to do with plenty of YouTube videos for tips,would I recommend it  :think: well if you just want a bit of fun then go for it,I'm hoping this knife actually works as I'll throw it in one of my backpacks  :tu: if i did another I would make cooler scales and do file work, ;)

Well done Paul, looks great!

My one thought while watching this thread unfold is how difficult folders are, even kits.

I want to try someday, but I'm not good with tight tolerances  :facepalm:
