Hi everyone I just recently got into knifemaking and I think I'm ready now to try my hands at some folders. My first question is what would be the easiest locking mechanism to make? Not really worried about benefits and drawbacks of each one during use, just wondering what's best to start out with. My second question is how does a sort of detent lock slip joint stack up to other lock types in terms of ease of construction? Like where would it fall in the hierarchy of easiest locking mechanisms. I'm working with a dremel, a drill press (that I'm thinking of starting to use as a makeshift mill), a belt sander and a grinder.
Thanks!
Thanks!
