Fallkniven TK4

[A.L.]

would you rather have it if there was a lion with a sword on it?

Actually not.
I don't like any idealism on my knife.

I love TK4, but I love more Fallkniven P

Hi,

I'm interested in the mod to a slipjoint you carried out below, i appreciate it was some time ago but have you got the pics of the mod or if not would you mind taking a couple of new ones as i'm interested in the same mod.
Thanks in advance
Paul

Thanks for you comments

I think ill leave mine as it is for now. Ive carried/used this knife everyday since i got it, and the sharp edges dont bother me at all.

I have done one other mod though. Where i live, locking folders are illegal for edc, and i dont have that many slipjoints.. I liked the TK4 so much, i decided to mod it so could legally carry it all the time. I was abit apprehensive at first as its a relatively expensive knife, but i thought what the hell. I have plenty of other locking folders, but only one other slipjoint.

All i used was a torx#20 and a diamond file.

This is how the original lug on the blade looked like.

I took the file and gently rounded the corners. Only a swipe or 2 and then refitted the blade to try it out. All of a sudden, after 20 min, it was there. As you can see, it didnt take much removal of the material.

It feels like a real slipjoint now, still clicks into place, and takes some pressure to fold it together, but it cant be confused with a locking folder. Im happy with the end-result :thumbup:

I cant seem to find the pics, dont know why. Ill dig around some more, but i found this thread here: http://www.britishblades.com/forums/showthread.php?86501-Fallkniven-U2-mod-to-legal-slippy

It describes with pictures the exact same thing i did to my TK4. Hope it helps.
