Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Reubjames: It's going to be tricky and I don't have it all sorted out yet. I'll be using threaded bushings in the 3 pin holes for the screws to thread into. I may just have to squeeze the whole thing in a vise to compress the back spring for assembly or possibly come up with some kind of jig where I can use a clamping screw or small arbor press to compress the spring to the point where everything will thread together. It's all rough in CAD still, but this is an early concept. This blade is not what I'd use standard, it's a specific request from a friend (he's lefty so clip is on the "wrong" side). I prefer the more traditional zulu style blade so I'll likely make one with that style blade. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Capture_JPG-3312522.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Zulu_S_2024-Sep-03_08-54-10PM-000_Custom-3312494.JPG https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/59685/Zulu_S_2024-Sep-03_08-52-21PM-000_Custom-3312493.JPG I like that blade shape. That transition to the tip has a subtle wickedness to it. |

ETA - original picture in non portrait (shallow depth of field), mode:  Shown against the “portrait mode”: PPPS.... On the computer, the knife and coke cup are obviously out of focus in the original photograph. On the phone this was not as apparent. |
