That is sweet TD, will have a look at them properly.

@HL - yup I am on AB forum as well, some good info and lots of experienced makers on there as well. Bit pricey for their gear though

@ OD they also sell a small brass clip that does the same thing, postage is the killer there

Postage still the same if we all purchase a few?

Sweet. It will depend on how the bolsters are fastened. The 2 I am making at the moment have a single pin in the top bolster which also secures the blade and the bottom bolster has 2 pins securing the bottom back spring in place.

If you can see the pins then very easy to replace, bit harder if the pins are hidden inside as part of the top boslter unless the top bolster is only a civer for show then it should pop off
