son_of_bluegrass Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Do you have any specific questions? I don't really think about construction techinques, I more try what seems the easiest way and if it don't work try something else next time. Here is a basic overview. I start by forging the blade the forging a backspring as close to a fit as i dare. Shape the pair of them closer with files and sometimes a grinder. Heat treat and do a final fit up. Play around a bit with pin positions till I get what seems right and put holes in a sheet of brass to match that. I fit bolsters on then match the handle scales to that. Then it is assembly and peening the pins without breaking anything. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
