The pressure is on......lol. I already see I need to make some changes, the rear spring assembly needs to be larger. I was originally going to pin together but now I'm thinking I'll screw it. I have a nice thought on the blade release I think y'all will like it. Thanks for the encouragement it helps...

Its a simple slip joint nothing complicated. I started work on a coil spring stiletto will keep ya'll posted.
Thanks

Gentleman (and lady's if there are any) this is my first post but I have been coming here for quit some time. I marvel over the craftsmanship I see posted and feel inspired to do the same.
