At one time, every man in America worth a nickel had a pocketknife on him. “You never know when you might need it” was the philosophy, and a man always wanted to be prepared for any situation. There are still plenty of folks out there who consider a pocketknife as critical as a cell phone.

    Pivot is too tight

    This is solidly built knife kit. Looks nice when it's done. My only issue is that the pivot cannot be adjusted - and mine was too tight to open with one hand. I tried to adjust the pivot with the correct drivers but it did not work. Also tried heating - all to no avail and gradually the pivot screws stripped. I tried to extract them, but finally gave up. I have cut the frame apart to save the beautiful stag scales I made; and ordered another kit. Hopefully it won't be so tight but if so I guess I will live with it.

    Great kit!

    My kit came with a tool that will remove the clip and also tighten the screws which go in each scale. Everything seems to be good quality. I'll buy more of these.

    Great kit knives

    The overall average on this has to come up. IMO, no one should give a one star review because they didn't get tools with their (obviously) unfinished kit order. It is a good and solid product. As to the one star review, both of the units I purchased came with the appropriate micro bits. In any case I bought a tool for this a few years ago for other knife kits. One of these knives is going to be a thank you to a guy who donated some left over fairly exotic South American flooring planks. (I've forgotten the species.) Looking forward to doing the kit.

    Great quick project - awesome knife!

    I bought two kits for a father son project...and I'm happy with the final result. I cut the wood sides on my xcarve CNC using 1/8" mohogany wood. Unfortunately, I did not have the needed micro hex required to remove the tiny screws, but fortunately I found that a screw driver from an early Ring doorbell worked perfectly! Otherwise, you will probably have to buy the needed driver bit, which I measured right around 1.5mm. The Woodcraft instructions have you cut slightly oversized sides for the knife. I'm lazy, so I used the suggested cut outline and modeled it as an SVG and used my CNC to cut it. But you can easily cut this by hand with a coping saw. Here is a link to my CNC cutting project and SVG file: https://www.inventables.com/projects/woodriver-pocketknife-item-163955

    Is it possble to get the drawing for the knife scales alone?

    I was wondering about get a cnc compatible drawing for the scale? It would speed up the time to make the several Christmas gifts I am making. I can convert the drawing just saves time. Roydan

    Don't Buy Unless You Have Micro Hex

    Thought this would be a nice practical knife to make for myself. First, the screws require a micro hex key. I had to order a kit and hopefully will find the right size! Why doesn't Woodcraft include it? You need to remove the pocket clip to make the job easier and the smallest hex key I have is a 1.5mm, too big! Now I have to buy additional hex keys just for this project! Also, the guide they include for cutting out the wood blanks doesn't fit the knife worth a darn! I had to use some stiff paper and trace my own. Poor thought and planning for this knife!
