The stockman knife video was interesting to watch. I was surprised to see how tight the pivot pins were (they needed to be hammered into place) before being peened.
Thanks for posting those links Dale!

Great videos of the knife making craft. It's amazing how much labor gies into a slipjoint pocket knife.
