Description
In this two DVD video set Chris Crawford demonstrates how to make a basic slipjoint using basic knifemaking tools. If you are new to knifemaking, and you are interested in making a pocket knife, then this video is for you. The knife that Chris makes in this video has an O1 blade and spring, G10 scales, and nickel silver pins.
Some of the topics covered are:
- Building a knife from a paper pattern
- Fitting up the blade and spring
- Blade grinding with a jig
- Heat treating the blade and spring
- Cold bluing the blade and spring
- Knife assembly
(Running Time: 2 Hours 57 Minutes)
In 2001, I put together an online tutorial demonstrating how to build a slipjoint. Then in 2009, I released a DVD demonstrating the process. As you can imagine, my methods changed between 2001 and 2009, and they have continued to change since then. I’m replacing the DVD that I released in 2009 with two new titles, Basic Slipjoints and Intermediate Slipjoints.
