All About Pocket Knives

There are tools known as slitting saws used by custom gunsmiths to cut the coccking serrations on the slides of auto pistols. I imagine with the proper set up you could produce a very respectable long pull with one of those.

Wow, this thread had been going on a long time (good info). I like the press idea though. Harbor Freight has a benchtop milling machine that isn't very expensive and using a dovetail bit in it cuts a pretty nice nail nick. Long pulls are even easier. It is a bit time consuming though. A stronger machine (more $$$) wouldn't have to work as hard, but it is accurate and controlable.
