Let's make a Mikov Quote Post by eastcoastsniper » Mon Mar 23, pm I've been asked to do a tutorial on how I wrangle a working switchblade out of a mikov kit. Over the next week or so, I'll be posting a knife in the making with pic's and explanations.
For simplicities sake, I'm making a cocobolo scaled knife. This is an older kit and only has one spring. The process remains essentially the same as originally designed. Let's start Anything larger is fine, but the bigger they are, the more sanding you'll need to do. You'll want to make sure the scale material is perfectly flat. Mark with pencil which side will face the liner so there is no confusion later. Here are the ingredients.
I switched the nickle pins for my brass pins. Let's make a mark on the liner side of the top scale. This is where we need to recess the scale to slip over the spring. I'm going to be using a dremel router bit and carbide cutting tool to make the channel.
I use a drill press to do this. Go slowly and let the bits do the work. A drill press is designed for downward pressure, not sideways! If you don't have a drill press, use a dremel and take your time. Here's what you want the underside of the top scale to look like. Go just deep enough to house the spring. We'll be taking this material out with the carbide cutting bit. This needs to come out so the spring can properly rise and activate the blade.
And here's what it should look like. I'll stop here for today. Please ask any questions or offer your input. Last edited by eastcoastsniper on Tue Mar 24, am, edited 1 time in total.

Using the blade as a template, I located and drilled the bolt and nut through-holes together. After boring the recess holes for the bolt and nut, I reset the stop block and drilled the pin holes, a through-hole on the channelled strip and blind hole on the other.
I cut a short pin from an aluminum rod to length and used cyanoacrylate CA glue to affix it to the through-hole. You can also use epoxy glue. After the glue was cured, I hand sanded the pin flush. With the strips bolted together, I outlined the shape on the face of the handle. Since the grain ran in the same direction for the strips, I shaped them with a spokeshave without any worries of tear-out.
See the sidebar below for some tips on using a spokeshave. If you choose to use rasps for shaping, ease the edges with abrasives, a small plane or a cornering tool. Depending on the grain direction, use push or pull strokes to shape the profile on the handle from both ends. To maintain the angle of cut, slightly press down at the front to steady and guide the tool as you push or pull.
I set the blade at a slight angle to the sole so I can vary the depth of cut by re-positioning the spokeshave rather than re-setting the cutter. A dull blade, tricky grain or pressing too hard on the heel of the shave can cause chattering. Skew the shave slightly across the direction of travel to reduce this.
During your push or pull strokes, keep steady pressure on the toe without hesitation to the end; this is not the time for timidity. After dry fitting, I disassembled the knife and signed and dated the inside faces of the handle. I applied a few coats of boiled linseed oil on all surfaces of the handle with light sanding between coats. I cut a short section out of a spine clip to make the blade protector and completed the assembly.
When the time comes to resharpen or replace the blade, the owner of one of your knives will be reminded of what an exquisite tool you have given him or her! Now you're ready to hand out your gifts.
But did you just make a batch of fine layout tools or a bunch of box cutters? It depends, of course, on whether you are giving the knife to a woodworker or someone who knows little about precision tools!

The sharp and stiff cutting edge makes this scalpel ideal for laying out tails or pins. Stock Preparation The small size of the knife makes it an ideal project for using the hardwood from your scrap bin. Cutting the Blade Channel A blind channel is cut on one of the strips to the exact width and depth of the blunt end of the blade so that the blade sits snugly and tightly in the channel.
Use the nick on the strip to set the next saw cut. Drilling the Holes Using the blade as a template, I located and drilled the bolt and nut through-holes together.
