In this video Chris builds an automatic based on the general design of his EDC-1 slipjoint pattern. The knife uses a leaf spring to throw the blade, and it uses a lever to fire it. Building a lever action automatic is an advanced level knifemaking project, and it helps to have some experience in building folders prior to taking it on. That being said, if you’ve previously made a lock-back folder, then you are well on your way to building a lever action auto.
