Bali Laboratory

The main idea was to test some various thing.

The first was to use folded plate to make a channel handle as i do on my Cardo No Kami.
I choose copper that time.

The second was to use a hardened 100c6 tang pin put in force

The third was to use a mosaic pins (epoxy brass and drill bit)
The blade is in Xc75, differential hardened, deeply etched (with a ferric chloride bath a bit old with some copper trace...)
More or less 6 cm sharp for 15 cm long open.

The result.

For the folded handle, that is not bad, that is almost impossible to have something perfect with hand fold (hammer and anvil) but that is really not bad. The flip is good, and it's quitly easy to do.

The solid tang pin, it's perfect, the result is OK, that is strong and not bad at all. Quitly easy to make with the right drill bit.

Mosaic pin as tang pin. Brass, epoxy and drill bit are to forget..... I would try with stainless tube, welding and welding or brass rod.... But the one i use is awfull.... I will put it away and put a roll pins instead.

I will re do an handle in order to have something a bit better. But the result of that test and fail is positive :)

Did you do something to the handle to keep it from turning that sickly green?

Re: Bali Laboratory

There will be a very very long time before the copper become green. If you use the knife, it will never arrive.

I have to change one handle and the tang pins before, but that is something possible. that is not really a flipper, more a gent edc for small cut as an higonokami can be.
