Jim:
I dont know if you have seen the new Blade magazine, but there is an ad in there on page 43 from Microtech for the new Kestrel (looks like a great box opener!).
They show your lock in close up, and if you read the caption it says:
"The Brand New 'MICROBAR LOCK', PATENT PENDING".
Not only did they take you up on your offer to use the lock, but they even kept the name!!! They are now patenting it. Looks like you should have beat them to the patent.
I am designing a new sheath, and I believe that every other person on these forums will HAVE to have one. I am going to patent it before I introduce it if that is at all possible.
Congratz to you,
thaddeus
