OH Vic Farmer??

[SAKsRCool]

I have an ~5" lanyard on my Pioneer with a knot at the end. If I need to open one handed, I put the knot in my mouth, thumb in the nail nick pull taught and open the knife. I takes a little practice.

Dunno how much room you've to play with on a Farmer, but I'm guessing these are too big.

I wonder if you could scale it down with a thread, couple of bolts, hacksaw, abrasive, and Locktite. Especially if you crank it up tight while it is hot.

Thanks for the link:thumbup:

I had a farmer model for years. It was stolen or lost can't remember which hadn't been able to get one through any local stores. Fi naly found one tonight online. I will have to order one now as I too think it is the finest model they make.

If you have a Wal-Mart near you just order one from them and have it shipped to the store closet to you for free. Only $17!

What did you cut that you needed to cut one-handed? The reason I ask is that you can open the saw on the Farmer with one hand and no modifications.

True, but it still isn’t easy. Plus I’d really prefer the plan edge of the main blade over the saw.

I have a lanyard on mine and I’ve done this before; it works, but I’m just looking for a “better way”. Never liked this technique to much either, if for some reason you slip when opening it, you got a blade swinging around right at neck level… not good

Yeah they look too big… don’t know about a scaled down version, there not much blade spine exposed when it closed, or room on either side of the blade when closed.


I’ve come up with another idea for a “wave”… since the blade on the farmer is so thick, I was think I could drill and tap a hole in the spine and then just loctite a small screw in and you got a “wave”. No idea how well it would hold up though… what do you all think? Better idea then my first one
