I don't have one in front of me chongman - is there enough room to ream it out that wide? Also, where did you find 1/4" chain ring bolts long enough? I'm kind of twisting in the wind for size of hardware to order.
So, I got the stainless sheet chopped by my friend and started on the liners. Pivot holes drilled and one side is like I want. Tomorrow I cut the other piece.
I made a spacer like my beads for the rear out of stainless rod, two grooves. It's the thickness of the blade plus .030" for the two bronze washers that I'm going to use on both sides of the blade at the pivot.

. i know not a damned things about zirc, other than its heavy and there seems to be a fad going. At least.....im seeing it brought up on USN constantly
There was a dude on USN making some Zirconium beads. I don't see what the big deal is about the metal, other than it cost a lot more than Ti.
So I was up really early this morning, cup or two of java and fired up the Dremel with a cut-off wheel to cut out the other stainless liner.
It took about 45 minutes to rough cut the liner, another hour or so to shape it to match the other one. I drilled the hole for the back end and have mocked it up to get an idea of what it's turning out to be like. The shape will get tweaked a little once I have the scales, hardware, and the stop pin in place.
Here you can see my cool spacer in the rear turned from stainless. I stole the idea from the Mantis friction folder, added my own mojo to it.
Now I wait for parts... I hope around the first of the week they will arrive.

I hope you're taking notes chong, because when people see this that will want it. The spacer kicks ass. The handle redesign kicks ass.
What are the scales going to be made of?
