Found one at a good price and snapped it up, but it has no lanyard hole. Has anyone figured out a way to mount a lanyard on this model, am I missing something? It was the last one they had and no instructions with it. The lack of a lanyard hole would seem troubling on a model with this stated purpose, Search and rescue. This is the model with the curved bluntnosed seatbelt cutting blade and no file.
thx
 
some people attach it on the corckscrew slot, on the side of the closed tool (one on each side). that's too much near the middle for me, but anyway my brand new Swisstool RS sits in it's nylon pouch (really well made, one of the best nylon pouch I never handled). It's just too big to stay in my pocket, but on the belt, I don't even notice it.
 
thanks choubbi,
by corkscrew slot I think you mean those odd shaped cutouts on the spring plates that lock up the pliers? I had thought of running some cord though there but imagine it will get in the way sooner or later. I saw other ST's advertising lanyard holes and thought it odd they left it off one that was supposedly tailored for higher stress areas. Love the tool so far, I also have an old old Gerber and LM wave and Supertool. Agree about Swisstools's solid sheath, nice and secure snap especially comforting after velcro.
cheers.
 
Sorry about bttt but question lingers.. what are those odd shaped cutouts on my ST RS? that I mentioned above, have looked at sites and threads and found no mention of them. Are they a tool holder of some sort, why did Choubbi's call them corkscrew holders? Or are they just a manufacturing aid for Victorinox?
Thanks for any answers
cheers.
 
in the CS version (CS means CorkScrew), you have the swisstool (swisstool X, IIRC), and a corkscrew that fit and locks in the holes. get a look at this: corkscrew
 
I have a ST Spirit with the same CS holders (as the older Swisstool), and yes it does hold the corckscrew nicely. I have thought about putting a lanyard in there too. It wouldn't get in the way of the pliers functioning, as long as having a cord between the handles doesn't bother you when using the pliers.

Then again, I have the PLUS version, so it stays in a sheath.
 
Thx for replies..
I have according to website Swisstool RS and it didna come with any extra goodies. Haven't seen that plus package in any shops around here.
cheers

I'm not aware of a RS with all these tools, only the X (which is then called CS), but I like mine even without corkscrew!
