That's absolutely crazy because I was thinking about something very similar today!  :cheers:

I went on a daytrip today carrying my LM Skeletool CX. I was thinking that LM should make tools from their propritety bits. Have the bit serve as the shank (since they lock in on the Skeletool) and you could have a saw, file, scissors, and maybe even a metal cutting blade: the possibilities are endless. Considering a Skeletool would mainly be worn in pocket or on a belt loop, LM could make a sheath with elastic pockets that holds these tools. Since the Skeletool is a minimalist tool I think making these blades would be great for Skeletool owners who want a bit more. I remember Mr. Whippy said that the Skeletool would be perfect if it had a file. BAM, if LM had the Skeletool accessories it would be great.

I honestly think this would be a great idea. I am going to shoot LM an email right now explaining my idea!

What do you guys think? yay or nay?

I completely understand the Skeletool is a minimilast tool, but having those options available would be extremely advantageous, IMO.

i also thought about modifying the bit holder but was concerned about its stability. Also havong another proprietary connector for blades is not really helpful.
The existing t-shank connector is widely used and leatherman offers it diamond file for exaclty this connector. Thats why i opted for t-shank.

Dont get to exited about the idea of writing leatherman. I did this several times and never got a satisfiyng answer. perhaps you have to have some results before they are listening.
T - `cause i like tea :)

If you could sneak in what a great idea it is to make the Skeletool 2HO, I'm ready to sign in...  ;) :D

I thought you had already shot them an email about this whole shank with multiple tools idea and you had already received the standard "we have no plans" response?

Couldn't you just fill the hole (like Spyderco did) and perhaps add a nail nick?
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

Hmm... :think:
The problem is that the Skeletool still, according to our knifelaw, was originally manufactured as a OHO, and therefore still is illegal.. (They don't leave any loopholes, Huh..)

That sucks :( I guess in that case you'd have to replace the entire blade :(

We have the issue with not being able to edc locking blades but at least we can carry lockers that have had their lock defeated (at least so that it can't be easily re-enabled).  Of course half the time due to the design that renders the tool unusable.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

Sorry, I mis-read what you previously put so I expect that the DKPK is still legal for you.

But this manufactured for our market and isn't a "Home-modification"... This is imported as a legal knife,
Where I would break the law in the first place getting a Skely over the border....
(but I REALLY want one of those now... :drool:)
