Triple"B"S Knife Lock Build Series - Part 4 Finishing The Handle Slabs Tapmatic and Scotchbrite Media

Published: 3 years ago

Setting up and using a Tapmatic Rx30 for the first time to tap the Titanium Handle Slabs on this Triple"B"S Knife Lock Patent No. US 10,981,283. I tapped 2/56 holes and broke several taps before getting it set up right. Then I used a 3M Scotchbrite wheel to finish the Titanium Handle Slabs.

If you are looking for something different than the standard Frame Lock or Liner Lock folding knife designs, check out this new Triple"B"S knife lock to add variety to the folding knife locking mechanisms available today. I am taking this design from prototype to production with my new Tormach 1100MX CNC Mill. This fourth video in the series goes through finishing the Titanium Handle Slabs. This video also includes how to remove a broken tap from Titanium using Ferric Chloride. The blade is CPM154 Stainless and the Handle Slabs are 6AL4V Grade 5 Titanium.

The Triple"B"S Lock Mechanism - short for Bud Beets Ball Slide - is my own design and is available for lease or other licensing agreement. TripleBS Knife Lock
