Members mmason Posted April 29, 2020 Members Report Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) HI, I made a swivel knife on a mini lathe I bought a long time ago. It need a better finish but I am happy with how it turned out and works. I have some aluminum lying around I want to try this on, any suggestions? -Matt Edited April 29, 2020 by mmason Quote

I like the full ring seems it would provide better control.

Members blue62 Posted April 29, 2020 Members Report Posted April 29, 2020 Not a bad looking knife, the ring works well for people with hand issues, don't have to worry as much about dropping it, what did you use for a bearing under the saddle? What kind of blade is in it? Quote
