Slipjoint Geometry And Design Considerations

Takes patience and attention to detail to get it from a drawing to finished product. Got to be able to work through issues as they come up. From what I’ve experienced. I hope it gets easier I’ve had 2 successful slipjoint completions and both have been very challenging

Good video, good way to explain the geometry of the joint.

Great video. Thanks.

Have you had any luck putting a notch in the blade where the back spring contacts the blade in the open position for a more solid lock?

[@iPKnives]

Thznk you sooo much for making this video. So fast too, awesome. The part about the straight line over the concave line touching the circle was exactly what I was looking for. I have one more question,... sorry. Where the spring and the blade meet in open position, are those all 90° angles? Thanks again for replying and making the vid. 👍

IP Knives Imperfectly Perfect Knives I usually mill out the back spring “notch” on my blade tang, so mine are 90 degrees. I’ve seen some makers put a little back angle on theirs, but 90 works fine.

nice video for a beginner to understand the basic geometry.... thanks!

Good night. Which program used? thanks

[@andrewriley6873]

This was made using Draftsight back when it was free.

would you share this PDF to us?

This question implies he knows nothing at all?! Very hard to explain... it’s an experience thing mainly I find... if you make a slipjoint... your first three at least will be crap.... persistence and then one day it was oh if I slightly round here and sharpen this angle then boom

Hi there! I am looking to make a project using the slipjoint mechanism, I wanted to know if there is any way I can contact you, I would love your opinion and any pointers that you may offer
