Yep. The following find regular employment in a day carry:
Cobalt Constructor which has found its way into my pocket again tonight
Rebar VX
ST 300 VX


Somewhat more rarely around town (read: practically never), due to OHO and thus potential run-ins with The Law around here:
ReWaveR
Surge R

Wow, the Cobalt Constructor is a once-off of a kind indeed  :drool:

The Rebar mod shows the same characteristic on one sides lock-rocker than mine. Due to the extra tool load the handle is pushed out a bit more than normal and the axle points are not resting fully into the handles holes anymore (I hope I make sense here).
Did that lock fail for you ever?

I´m carrying the BuSchroder every day, it´s my most used work knife. I´m neglecting the RoDent though (it´s only 84mm).

Is it just because it's shorter then Ron?

Regarding the blade, no. The saw, yes. Mosttimes I carry another (much) larger saw as well.

Ah, sure. That makes sense  :salute:

Currently no.  I did carry my modded Wave for a good while.  My recently modded Surge is not my official around the house tool.  It went right to work the day I modded it.

Nice Aloha !
What did you do to the Surge  :)

Nothing too special.  I removed the can opener and added another large flat driver.  I then ground it into a chisel like on the Swisstools.

Yep. The following find regular employment in a day carry:
Cobalt Constructor which has found its way into my pocket again tonight
Rebar VX
ST 300 VX


Somewhat more rarely around town (read: practically never), due to OHO and thus potential run-ins with The Law around here:
ReWaveR
Surge R

Wow, the Cobalt Constructor is a once-off of a kind indeed  :drool:

The Rebar mod shows the same characteristic on one sides lock-rocker than mine. Due to the extra tool load the handle is pushed out a bit more than normal and the axle points are not resting fully into the handles holes anymore (I hope I make sense here).
Did that lock fail for you ever?

Thanks!

Re Rebar: you make perfect sense, and yes, the hold of the handle holes' edges on the pivot's shoulders is a little bit marginal but the lock has not failed me once yet. I probably need to slim down one of the tools for a better fit.
Cheers!

Thanks Dutch Tooler.
I fixed it a different way now.

The Rebar has spacers to anti-clumb the blades,  for safety I guess. I removed them and now it's good  :tu:
