Last week I did a show and tell regarding putting a #5X40TPI screw in the pivot of a 110 LT to enable blade changes. Notice that the Lites that are assembled with rivets do not have a lanyard hole and cannot utilize the push pin. The hole in the black Bucklite was enlarged to 1/4”. At the time, that was the smallest diameter pin I could find. These new 110 LT’s have 3/16” hole which needs no sizing.View attachment 837841View attachment 837842View attachment 837843
This week my objective is to put a push pin release lanyard in the 110 LT. Push pins come in different diameters and lengths usually expressed in fractional inches. The pin that the 110 LT needs is 3/16” in diameter and 5/8” grab length (the distance between the shoulder of rhe pin and the retractable ball bearings at the tip). The pin I have on hand is only 1/2” long so the bearings can’t grab the distal edge of the lanyard hole. All I need is a 5/8” long pin.
I use these lanyards as a loss prevention attachment. Usually I detach the lanyard when the knife is in use unless I’m cleaning fish at the end of the dock. The other end of the lanyard attaches to my belt. Length is optional. I put a stopper knot in the lanyard to locate the knot in an out of the way place. A longer lanyard could go over one shoulder and under the opposite arm (not around the neck).

View attachment 838744 These prototypes were the only ones that were machined from bar stock. The production knife handles were cast in a mold. If you look carefully at the disassembled knife, you can see the shrinkage caused by cooling. The inside surface of the handles faced the ceiling while they were cooling. The uneveness of the surface was concealed inside the handle. I should mention that we are not talking about highly visible sags.
