Any call for a new knife tool set? Opinions please.

[NCCNC]

Gents and ladies, I have been collecting knives, just like most of you all, for years. Most of the major brands have come and gone, and just like many of you, I have settled on a few that suit me well. One happens to be a kershaw groove, and one happens to be a Hinderer. Now I have messed around with the edge of a coin (using it for a spanner wrench) trying to adjust the Hinderer pivot, but I figured I'd just knock out a tool set for it.

My question is, do you all think there is any call in the knife community for an inexpensive USA made pivot tool for the spanner and flathead hardware? I am not trying to sell anything, as I let my membership lapse (which I need to take care of, as I appreciate all the information available on this forum, and like to support it) , and besides a different level would be needed. I am however curious as to your opinions on whether or not this would even be wanted by anyone.

The one I made is rudimentary, plain 303 stainless, and could be modified to fit many other different forms but still serve the same function, and possibly more. Think key chain, para lanyard, slip pouch, Allen wrench. I just havent seen many options out there, but then again, most people may be fine using a coin. I would be appreciative to hear any opinions or thoughts that y'all may want to share. Good and bad.

Thanks.

Yes they have a wide market, there were some made by someone on the exchange and they moved pretty fast

You might be on to something, could you put the tools on opposite ends of the same base?
How could you possibly make a spanner to fit all sizes?
What if it were a small key chain tool made to take a 1/4" hex bit of the user's choice, then locked in with a set screw?

I'll take one! Good idea for someone like me who has a hard time dropping $75 on a tool I can make for (and with) $0.02.

I do remember paying $45 for a factory pivot tool some time ago.

Look up PSD tool, that would sell

I'm sure people would love to buy your tools, especially if you put a cool design on the head and came up with some slick marketing.

I'd love a tool that combined a 5/64" hex, a 1/8" hex, a 6 Torx, an 8 Torx, a flat head, a spanner and a bottle opener to pop my IPA when I was done (for better or worse). If you build it, I'll buy it.

I pm'ed you but I am not sure if you received it. Nothing is showing up in my sent messages. I don't know if it may be because I JUST renewed my membership.

Thanks
