Hat's off to you FB, you've picked up some really attractive 58mm there. I used to look down my nose at 58mm but the more I see of them the more impressed I am by them  :like:

I think this might be the most appropriate place to put this. Honestly the number of different places is kind of overwhelming..

I wanted to make a locking mechanism for the blade on a 58mm SAK...I pondered it for an hour or so...



and this is what I came up with:



maybe someone has come up with something better but I find this works like a charm. The pen works as part of the lock, when extended the blade can't move. However, if you retract it, the collar can be slid right off the blade. The blade functions as a great awl now, something I couldn't do safely before.

Cheers,
H.G.

For 58mm? If you like the mod, cheers. It's rather an easy fix but not necessarily the best one. I never use the blade because it closes way too easy. Now I feel more confident testing its limitations. I find the pen blade on the manager to be a surprisingly decent awl in my experience.

I never had an issue with the blade for general usage, but like you, I respected its limitations.  I am hard pressed to find a sharper blade anywhere, except perhaps the Opinel.  I just admired the creative thinking behind this mod.  I never would have thought of it :D. You're definitely right about the blade making a good awl!

Barry, look at me, this is serious. If you want a knife that cuts like an Opinel, but without the wood swelling issues, get the Victorinox florist knife. Thin, thin edge, rugged nylon scales, and slices and dices like an Opinel. I've never had one before and picked up one at a gun show two months ago. I'm amazed at this knife and wish I'd got one a long time ago.
Don't get too serious, just enough will do.

I love the microlock s clips.  They work great on keyrings for secure yet easily removable items.  One clip can also hold 3 regular keys.
