Instructions from Woodcraft are good

Instructions from Woodcraft are good and can be found linked from this page: https://www.woodcraft.com/products/side-lock-folder-blade-kit-4-1-2-closed-woodriver

Note that you will need a special micro screw driver that is about 1.5mm.

Note that my design does not include a hole that needs to be drilled. By following the instructions, they instruct how to mark the hole once side pieces are dry fit.

I scuffed up my knife while sanding my wood to fit (per the instructions). I will be hitting the stainless steel on the knife with fine steel wool and that should remove all scratches.

Estimated time: 1 minutes

I made one and am now attempting my second. Hoping your template works out better than the one I attempted to make. Woodcrafts isn't even close. I have printed yours out and glued to an 1/8th inch of Zircote wood that I glued to another 1/8 inch matching piece.

Any other tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your work.
