Picture needed of Golfer or Salesman disassembled

[trouthunter]

I am in a bit of a bind and if any has a picture of an 84mm golfer, salesman, or small climber that is disassembled with a long nail file.  I would be very great full.

Thank you in advance

I'm about to take an 84 mm Golfer with the long nail file apart. Is there something specific you'd like to see?

[proletenstahl]

I didn't realize until after I removed it that the nail file also has a brass pin through it. It looked like a solid piece of stainless, so I separated it from the liners, realized my mistake, and then drilled out the pin.

This is absolutely exactly what I needed.  Thank you!!!!

First I want to thank you again for the picture.  Would it be possible if you still have your Golfer apart.  Could you take a picture of the nail file spring straight down.  I have to recreate mine and need a little more detail.

It's still apart. I haven't touched it in over a month! 

Can you be more specific about what angles you need? I'm not sure what you mean by straight down.

Done!

Thanks mate

[trouthunter]

Again thank you!!!

I am thinking  just like this one.    It is back spring for the long nail file.

Is this what you're looking for?

It's my pleasure! Let me know if you need anything else.

A shoutout to "proletenstahl" again.  I was able to make a copy of the spring I needed.  It has been heat treated so that it has spring to it so as to not break when the scissors are opened.

That's great!

Would you mind sharing your heat treatment process? I have never handled a LNF, does it have a standard snap like other tools?

Sure, once I was happy wit the design.  I cleaned it up and then heated it to the point it was no longer magnetic and then soaked it for another minute or so at the same temperature.  I then then quenched it in luke warm water.  I then cleaned it up again.  Then I heated it until it started to get a blue color to the steel.  I then quenched it again and did a final clean up on it.
