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

Couldn't you just fill the hole (like Spyderco did) and perhaps add a nail nick?

Hmm...
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..)

So is the DKPK, the knife made for your country still illegal??

DKPK..?

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... )

What if a skele was modified specifically to be 2H elsewhere in the EU and then sent to you?  Perhaps by removing the top of the blade so that the process couldn't be reversed (which could of course happen with just filling the holes)?

Would sure be great, but, as I read it, The Skely is still originally a OHO and would be treated as one by the Customs/police eventhough it was modded elsewhere

Sorry, I forgot we were dealing with bureaucrats    How foolish of me

But... If the blade was removed, modded and sent seperatly on a white unicorn at the last fullmoon in August
and the whole Skely was secretly assembled by dwarfes and delivered by a dove directly to my doorstep.....  

Nah, Wouldn't work anyway..  

Sorry...

a new little mockup:

[J-sews]

Looks like you are making good headway Shorty.  I hope your Skurge turns out to be as good as expected.

[Shorty66]

Well, this is just a mockup - the scissors where copied into the image.
The T-Shank holder is just a Raw Prototype which actually holds a blade but is not really mountable due to the lack of mounting holes.
I just recieved pricing for the laser cuts and it seems quite reasonable. I think i may start the real modding next week.

Btw: Skurge sounds nice :-)

[zepla]

This could be very interesting..  Can't wait to see the result!

[Shorty66]

I was a bit upset when i first discovered your skeletool mod. I thought i was the first one to think about that just to discover you already got rid of that biner

And I certainly hope the inventor of that fine name will receive the first prototype for testing... The 2HO prototype that is...

Great minds think alike 

[Shorty66]

As i didnt have anything to work on i decided to make CAD model of the whole thing.
As i didn`t model the knive yet this would make for a nice tool for people with strict knivelaws:



As the blade layer is missing, there are no scissors on this one either. Perhaps ill do that soon...
You might also notice, that the handles dont have any springs on them. I like the charge-like-butterfly opening and think it would be cool for the skeletool, too.
As thats not possible with springs, i removed them and made longer backs on the handles to support the pliers instead.

[AHB]

That is just amazing work... Keep it up..

[zepla]

I wish I knew how to work with CAD, always looks cool! Now get a lasercutter and make some stuff! And I wish I had some skills and a lasercutter and lots of time, and a loaded wallet and a nice personality and a blonde secreterywith large Uhhm, never mind...
