Here ya go, Alcas "Solution Spirit." Alcas was a colaboration between Alcoa and Case. They also produced another heavier version called the "Solution."
Pull the pin on the side, hande swivels up, tucks into the other side, pin slides back into place and locks the handle down.

That is the most cumbersome piece of "something" I have ever seen.
This one here is badass, though.
Here's the epic thread.

Other then the Woodsman pal does anyone really like any of these designs for use in the woods? I've handled the Condor Wilderness tool and didn't like it. BTW this thread would be really redundant in the SOG sub forum.

Wow. I was wondering why you'd posted that one. Good stuff, though fitting with the theme of the thread, it's not my first choice for a survival knife! I'd love to take it for a spin in the back woods, though!

i designed a kind of funky one that wouldn't break the bank. TOPS makes them for me.
the ECO Hawk. - don't laugh too hard at me, ...besides a decent small knife and hand axe/adz/scraper thingy ...it works and its also a harpoon and a mini-hawk and a pick, and whatever else ya wanna do with such a small tool.
i was trying to make something that was completely practical with no gimmicks, but folks might not feel that way, which i can completely understand before they use it.
it's 7.1 Ounces bare, 1075 zone-hardened 3/16" steel stock, 7 inches long, 2 inches wide at the widest points, with a comfy 1" width at the narrowest part of the waist, which is sized to comfortably index small or large hands over the Center of Mass, for efficient handling
we are going to make a bunch of composite accessories for it, but i designed it so folks could personalize them with their own improvised hafts or custom scales.
after seeing this thread, i don't feel like it is so strange after all!
:thumbup:
some of these things red-line my geek meter.

That I can get onboard with. A lil more utility looking then the other submissions.
This is my entry, it is 27" in length, and is secured around your forearm while you hold the hand grip. Totally lethal on zombies... lol

So is this a pilot who had to confiscate a knife that slipped through the TSA's fine scrutiny?
