Never seen a break-down knife before. It's a neat concept, but wildly inconvenient. Never mind the fact I would somehow manage to lose the screw that holds it all together.

@Richard.Dawson 2 роки тому

If there isn't a sheath, you need to carry it with the bottle opener out. So when you do need a knife, you need to pull out the allen key & reverse it? It is inconvenient & it makes no sense.

@aarone.7551 2 роки тому

I believe the intent is to fully mask it as a bottle opener until you are ready to semi-permanently make it a knife.

Koss, you've become quite the surgeon with the angle grinder and belt grinder!! So very impressive to watch your growth over the years. Thank You for all these wonderful designs and builds! As much as I love the simplicity and elegance of this one, perhaps you could add a feature to store a hex key or just use a thumb screw of some kind. Very trick would be a flat head screw with a fold over butterfly key head that would keep the design flat bodied. Just my thoughts, Always appreciate your fine craftsmanship. Hat Tip, ~PJ

@jedivanrooyen9614 2 роки тому

I don't know if it's already been mentioned in the comments but I really think you should intergrat this blade/ bottle opener design with your cross/ fold handle and locking mechanism. It would save you unscrewing the blade to swap it. Just changed it so the bottle opener is used in a different direction so the pressure on the locking mechanism would work 🔥

@charliekendall7511 2 роки тому

The knife looks pretty, but here are some suggestions for future projects! When making a multitool like this, the appeal of making it similar to a Swiss Army knife is strong. But having only one pin holding the blade in place puts a lot of tension on the handle. I’d recommend making a static blade with a longer tang, and putting more pins through the tang. You can still have the bottle opener on the other end, maybe even having a cover that can be taken off the bottom of the handle. Using wood can be more useful for a handle, especially with a longer tang. You can still fabricate the blade just as easily, as once you put wood slats on the outside of the tang, you can grind it to whatever shape you want the handle to be. I hope to see you continue to improve and make beautiful, functional pieces of art!

@mistahanansi2264 2 роки тому

Aww... oh well. I was hoping it could fold out and back in. Taking out a screw driver to reassemble it each and every time you want to "switch modes" seems like quite the turnoff. And if I need to carry a screw driver at all times in case I need to reassemble it, I might as well just keep it in knife form and carry a bottle opener separately.

@aaronwilliams4027 2 роки тому

Awesome design but maybe a gravity or a locking folding design would be more practical

@bgteamadr4736 2 роки тому

Проект интересный. НО съёмный винт и необходимость носить с собой отдельной ключ!!! Это очень плохо. Мне надо заранее решить, чем я сегодня буду пользоваться, ножом или открывашкой. Лучше бы был вариант без винта с резьбой, а просто плотно посаженная втулка (ось, штифт, трубка) которая крепилась бы шнурком к темлячному отверстию. Второе что не понял... зачем делать глухую рукоять, ее же не промыть в принципе, там начнет собираться грязь и ее от туда никак не убрать. К тому же клин, может начать ржаветь.

@venrexx 2 роки тому

I mean, it looks great. Well executed, nice design, but given the fact that it disassembles, flips, and sheathes rather than folds, it's not a folding knife of any kind. Unless there's been some breakthrough in the pocket knife world that I have never heard of. I'd call this a pocket knife that can be disassembled and reassembled as a bottle opener. I'd call it a flip knife if that name wasn't already taken. Any of these things, but not a folding knife.

Cool work, but I don't know that I'd call that a folding knife per se. It doesn't actually fold anywhere; it's just reversible. However, for what it is I think it's a brilliant idea; I'll probably be incorporating it into my own work at some point as working with actual folding knives that need precise hinges is not to my taste.

Change the screw to be something you can take out without a tool. A small recessed button with a shallow leaf spring so you can push it in and slide the blade out. It seems completely impractical otherwise. Sitting around drinking beers with your friends and you get a good buzz going and someone asks for a knife and you start drunkenly fiddling with the bottle opener like, hang on i gotta find my hex wrenches.
