I feel like I took my knife making to another level with this one! This hand made liner lock is my 22th knife I have ever made. I tried out some new things. First off I tried making the blade to handle ratio as equal as I could. Second I bought some punch stamps. (I will be making some kind of jig for them in the future) and third I threw away the old 2x4 I used to drill on, and replaced it with 1-2-3 blocks. This made my drilling more accurate, even tough my drill press is utter garbage. (I am saving for a mill). I hope you enjoy!
