Knife making - Hand made frame lock

I have wanted to make a 100% hand made liner lock / frame lock knife for a very long time. I Have made some in the past, but what I did not like about them, was the fact that I had to use purchased hardware for pivot and screws. I finally got around to getting the tools needed for treading. Now I can make my own pivot and screws. All though it’s a slightly rough way of doing it, I am still very happy with the result. In this video I get to play around with new technics, and materials new to me. Like Titanium. I hope you enjoy.
