Re: info on old knife
The only thing I can find on the knife is PATENT. I have the complete knife. If you want a pic of the other side of the liner you can see the spring.

info on old knife
Does anybody know anything about this knife.
The handle is just under 3.5 inches long.
I have had it for about 20 years and when I started making knives I pulled it apart so I could make a new blade but I never got around to it.

swing guard Lockback spring
Does anybody have any pictures of a swing guard lock back switchblade in pieces. I have made 4 lock back switchblades so far and I use a small coil spring to provide tension for the lock bar but I think there must be better way. Maybe a short leaf spring might provide more tension ?. Any help or pic...

Hi from Australia I was wondering what other makers use for a lockback spring on switchblades. I have made 5 lockback switchblades and I use a small coil spring at the end of the lock bar. Do you use the main spring for the lockbar. I noticed in pics of lockback switchblades on this forum posted by ...
