I had found this on youtube and thought it was great so I went out and tried it myself. It works just fine and isnt bad looking like a zip tie. Im not sure how many of you guys knew about this or how many do it so im sharing it with you guys. if anyone has any input, improvments, pros and cons of this method let us know. Also what else can this wrok on other then the Rat 1 im thinking some cold steel models like the recon 1 and the american lawman. Let me know what you guys think.

Happy waving

Very innovative!

Nice! I'd rather put the wave on the other side, so that when it catches, the torque direction is tightening instead of loosening the thumbstuds. As it is on the video, it turns counter clockwise.

Good idea. ive been using it for the past 2 days and it shows no sign of loosening but ill updat if it does.
