[RAPPLEBY2000]

you'll have to go into more detail i don't know what you mean

 

[Draven]

d'you mean that you know how to lock the blade of a swiss army knife in place using para cord?

 

[RAPPLEBY2000]

for what purpose?

 

[Andy]

I'm sure many if not all of us could bodge something so that they wont close
The thing is what your doing is creating a knife which would be viewed very dimly if you were caught with it, I'd think the police would be far more likely to arrest you for that then a knife which was locking in the first place.

besides bushcraft would seem to be a good reason for carrying a fixed blade or locking folder (or both) anyway so why bother

 

[RAPPLEBY2000]

Good point!

nuff said!

Arn't you going to share then?

What exactly are the police going to do about a SAK with a paracord lanyard?

for what purpose?

I would hazard a guess that its to make the blade less likely to close on your fingers.....



Lots of people carry a SAK, I would imagine its probably the most common pocket knife in the world, if you can make it more secure for certain tasks, ie boring a hole with the point of the blade, it can only be a good thing.

Unless you were caught in a dodgy position with it "locked" open, I dont really see anyone taking a dim view of it....

I don't really see the need to jump down kb31s throat, it might just be a really good idea he's come up with.....

So lets see it then Karl.....

 

[Bisamratte]

I had an sak fold on my fingers once ,it tought me to use the right tool for the job.

This could be handy when you dont have the right tool.

 

[Buckshot]

Can I butt in with my mod hat on please chaps.

Karl,

If you're hoping to circumvent the knife laws in this country by sneekily (if that's a word) converting a legal knife into an illegal one (in certain circumstances - I know both can be considered illegal or legal in certain circumstances as well but I'm illistrating a point) then I must ask you not to post such information on this forum.
I say this because of your 'don't tell the cops' line in your opening post.

If, on the other hand, you're offering to share a safey tip on how to help prevent the blade on a non locking SAK folding on your fingers when doing particular tasks then please share, it could be very handy to know and save many plasters and trips to casulty...

Thanks

Mark

sorry i work nights i am still geting my head round all this hi tec crack i will try to sort out some photos i have a swiss champ what you do is put a prusik knot on the key ring the para cord sould be about 2 feet long (you will have 2 bits 1ft after the knot. the run the para cord a long the top and under the main blade where the witeing is and back to the key ring now put a double over hand knot in the two ends play with the knot so you can just push it over the key ring and the other side under in to the mag glass slot. the harder or tighter you make it to do this the less the blade will move. it only work on the main blade its by no means fail safe so keep a tight grip on the knife the blade sould only move or close about 10mm but not on your hand!! hope this helps again sorry but am not on much with work n that could anyone help me with how all this works?? cops was a joke but don't show them karl
