T-Bar

[JK Knives]

While waiting for heat treat to finish, I made this little impact tool, the T-Bar, out of micarta. I need to keep busy so my mind does not wander.

That is a cool idea.

That little guy is pretty sweet...I would guess it's for shiatsu massage?

It was fun to make.

I thought this was an underwear thread.

I can see a few uses for a steel one.
Prying, screwing (screws gutter brain), defense, package opening and booger picking.(keep the finger clean )

I could do steel, but I don't know if they would sell.

Copper/brass/bronze gadgets and doodads are still selling pretty well.

What do you guys think I could sell these for including shipping?
Either 1/4" micarta or 1/8" O1.

The plastic stinger is around $20ish dollars. This would be an upgrade I would guess $30-$35 in G10 and $40-$50 in O1 or similar.

Maybe add a bottle opener feature?

The bottle opener craze has seemed to be not as popular as it was, but I could probably add one to the steel version, but not the micarta one. I will see if there is interest in these, and see what happens.

My thoughts too, but ixnay the can opener and make it 1/4" thick.
The steel doesn't need to be O1 either.1084 or 95 would work just as well.
Of course Ti would be the ultimate cool, especially if you add a bearing in the center of the handle for fidget spinning.

I saw some guys selling similar ones on Facebook for $50!
