Unfinished Switchblade
Got this on ebay. Have no idea how to finish it and make it a working knife. Any help, opinions or advice, as in is it worth doing, will be greatly appreciated.

Nicely done, John, now you have a fully operational automatic knife for various uses or simply some click-therapy. Welcome to the club.
Oh yah, expect to become addicted to them shortly.

You could peen the pivot pin tighter but you should make sure the ends are flat first. It may not stay closed if too loose. BUT NOT TOO TIGHT! Nice work!
