How to: Hidden Lanyard Loop (Pic Heavy)

Ahhhh, I see what you guys are saying. Sweet idea, I'll give that a shot next time

And if you like challenge .......try this

Steel is expensive , what if that was Damasteel And you need inch thick drill Angle grinder and several stroke with half round file will do same job ..............without waste of steel.

I think most anyone's time is worth more than 1/2" of steel.

Thanks for sharing Nic. Really cool idea and nice looking knives!

Your piece of steel will cost more then 500 $ in Damasteel . I can calculate how much will cost half inch And if I see good in your picture you need 22mm drill bits or good quality Cone step Drill Bit ....Nevermind , I just gave a suggestion how can be done this , just as you do

It's just how I would do it of course. I doubt that 1/2 of a 7/8" circle will be missed in the grand scheme of things.

Plus if you are making more than one you can line things up so that you can drill one hole and get two recesses out of the deal!

If I recall correctly, you used a piece of tube at an angle then cut if flush with the but and tang face of the scale. how did you get the recess in the scale?

Nice work Nic! good job. I missed your write up

Thanks Dave!
I'll email it to you

 

[Horsewright]

Cool! @nic

 

[Natlek]

how did you get the recess in the scale?

If you think on recess where is that steel part , I use tube from which I cut this steel , I just wrapped sandpaper and carefully sand to get as much I can symmetrical both scale... For recess on scale /for weight removal/ I use my Dremel with sanding drums
