NOTE: Some lock bars will need to be tuned to each kit on the blade locking area. Using a small flat file, carefully file the end of the locking bar, assembling and disassembling it until it fits to the locking position that you like on the back of the blade of your knife. We have added this feature to the knives because some folks like their lock to be in the "just engaged" position when open. Others like the lock bar "half way" engaged, and still others like the lock bar "almost all the way" over on the back of the blade while open. Now you have the choice of where the lock sits in the open position while engaged. This process can be achieved by removing a very small amount of stock from the stop pin area on the back of the blade. This is tricky, so be CAREFUL. It is easy to over cut the stop pin area, Or while filing the blade liner to fit the lock. Then the lock will run all the way to the other side of the knife handle. GO SLOWLY! TAKE CARE YOU MAY RUIN THE BLADE.

A clip and clip assembly tapping kit are available, if you want to apply a clip to your knife.
