I reckon i can answer this....
How would you bend "Aluminum" sheet along a radius? You do it in a press tool...the part in question is made from a flat sheet of steel and the shape is punched out.. i've got one infront of me and by looking at it there would be at least 4 press tools in the process of making just this part.... The rolled edge that the rope runs over would be made by holding the plate flat while a part of the tool would push the edge over... I think it has been done in 2 goes by looking at the marks on the gri gri.... Look up "Press tools ".... but dont look at wiki it a waste of time ... Also look for "CNC Folder" ... I hope this has helped.... What program are you using to model the gri gri?
