Re: 4" Magic Knife Kit

I’ve put together a couple kits. All were lever lock style, all took some adjusting, tweaking & fine tuning to make them work properly.
Enjoy your time putting it together, take your time, enjoy!

Re: What's your fav non Italian auto?

I carry a ProTech Rockeye full-size with knurled scale.
I sent back a different ProTech with a broken spring and customer service was great, in fact outstanding I’d say!
I love my Italian picklocks though!

Re: Mini lever lock build

That makes me feel better. I have looked pretty close to the action. I can see how it needs to be

Re: Mini lever lock build

Ok that's simple enough, no lathe. So just get it "snug" in the pivot hole?

What about the lever snapping into the safe position, when the blade is closed?

Thanks Bill!

Re: Mini lever lock build

Another question if someone would be so kind. I have built a couple of leverlocks, and have purchased a mini and a leverletto to use as a benchmark.
