My first shot at modding/improving a knife (CRKT swindle)

[joeyza]

So i don't know if any of you who have the swindle had this problem but I found it super difficulty to disengage the lock just cause I could never find enough room to get my thumb at the lockbar properly. So I thought i'd risk ruining the knife and took a dremel to it to cut out a notch in the frame and it worked like a charm!! super easy to disengage now and fun as ever to flip

Now get those handles stonewashed!

Good job on the mod. I find a startling number of knives need a bigger relief on the non locking side for easier disengagement. How these things slip past R&D I will never know.

I know! and its such a simple mod and completely changes the knife
