OK, I'm going nuts looking for a part...
I have a Buck folding knife, nothing fancy, but for about 15 years I've had an accessory/after market "thumb opener" on it, and I recently lost the opener, and now I feel lost without it! Can't open the knife one handed!
It was a metal piece that was folded over on itself, and that fold "clamped" tightly onto the back of the blade, and had a "shelf" that projected out...hold the knife in your right hand, press upward on the shelf, and the knife opened.
Anyone familiar with this piece? Anyone know where I can get one, or something like it? I looked all over the internet using all kinds of search terms, but couldn't find anything like it. I got so desperate that I tried drilling a hole in the blade so that I could jbweld a small screw as a thumb opener, but that blade is just too hard for my simple hand drill....
Help.
