My process for making a framelock flipper folder. This is not an instructional video but rather an overview of how I go about it. I am not a machinist as you can see and my process is very primitive in today's standards of folder making. But you can do it without the modern equipment, it just takes more time. It is manual machining and definitely fits the "handmade" category. #framelock #linerlock There is much more that just can't be covered in one 10-15 minute video. I skipped showing most of the heat treating process and blade grinding but there is several days in the making of a framelock. I have a video already posted on blade grinding. If you have any questions, please post them in the comments. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel!
