Backspacer and stop pin

I've started work on the backspacer, which is going to be made of green canvas micarta. I have the holes drilled and the outside rough-ground to shape.

Next I drill and team a hole for the stop pin, and then start testing the closed fit up against the pin, I use a round file to file away a space for the pin to fit into the blade when in the closed position.

Finally, it's beginning to resemble a knife!
