Lanyard attachment

[jbblount]

After some request for a lanyard hole. I came up with this. It's easily removable if you decide to take it off.

What you think?

Well since nobody else has commented I will. I really like it. its functional and I feel that it kind of compliments the flipper. As long as it doesn't bother your palm when gripping the knife I think its a good idea. I also really like the pocket clip on that knife.

That is very well done. I would like that leading into a monkey fist.

Thanks for the comments. Yea it's free swinging on the pin. So it kinda lies down when using the knife. Can't really tell its even there.

I really like it, very unobtrusive and it has a mechanical look to it that is really attractive. Well done.

I like it but why not just tie off to the last standoff?

I like it but why not just tie off to the last standoff?

Or just use a pin with a lanyard hole like CRK?

Tying off to any of the standoffs is not an option. There is not enough space between the edge and the standoffs.

I thought about that. Just trying something different.

That's a great idea. It looks like a 1911 barrel link.

Cool idea/Job
I do not like lanyards on folders. they always seem to get in the way

Looks great and I like the pocket clip also.

I like it because unlike the CRK the lanyard will not contact the blade and fray as is the case on my Sebenza. However , I still love my Seb...

Lanyards are a 'like 'em or don't' thing. I find them useful.

This is clever and new. Looking at it explores other possibilities: Drilling the hole in line so the tab might fold into the well?

This alone looks good, but I see the sharp edges and the hole unchamfered. Finish it just a bit more and I'd love it.

You wound that fob yourself? Nice size.

Input returned.

Thanks for the all the comments guys. I appreciate it.
By the comments it seems to have been a good idea.
Im going to be including one of these with my knives now. It's easily removed if not wanted.

I took Coops advice. I chamfered the hole and cleaned up the edges.

Thanks again

It looks better than I anticipated. I'm liking this feature more and more.

Nicely done. The whole folder is a study in cleanliness, function, and simplicity.

Keep it up!

I think you're really onto something. :thumbup:

Thanks Coop, that means a lot coming from someone that has worked with some of the finest knives made.

 

[Locutus D'Borg]

It look good to me, but the knife itself really caught my attention. Very nice folder.

I want to like lanyards but I don't .
You've changed my mind, an accessory attached to an accessory.
Don't see too many innovations, this is going to take off in a big way.
