All About Pocket Knives

Greetings!

Today I have a working medieval padlock freshly made for you, with a forged all steel construction. It is 8 cm long, 4.5 cm wide and 1.5 cm thick.
A small video demonstrating its operation:

Will you use it to secure the fantastic knives you build?

Glad you like it!
I have made an iron strongbox and an oak treasure chest in the past, but I chickened out of the padlock project till this day. It always seemed overwhelmingly complicated to me. But I couldn't resist anymore, and had to try it.

Csizmar, I have already seen too much of your stuff to be amazed cause you only turn out fabulous stuff. But the lock is amazing. And a perfect fit to your beautiful boxes, especially the oak one.

You are an extremely talented craftsman. Love the lock.

You are spoiling me, Sir!
The oaken one upon completion was immediately pirated away by my kid, the precious content is his treasure.

I'm afraid I am not allowed to show my site.

Why is that?
