Wife is away, hurry.
Had the meerkat and merlin for years, and just caught the "bug" last month. *facepalm* I blame the lum!
Big fan of leafs and lums apparently :D

The wife is away, so I quickly invited the Lum family over for supper.

Pocket clip delete and fob adaptation. The rattle snake knot hangs perfectly on the edge. Quick deploy from the mouth of the pocket without being swallowed. [/url]

Dragonfly hanging loose. shaka.

A trio of Lums arrived today. What a joy these are to handle and carry. They will join the rest of the lot for a Lum family reunion :D

Yes i'm also feeling the paint of sprint run prices lol :D

Never seen the Perrin PPT before, but it's gorgeous and I might have to add it to my "to buy" list :spyder: How's the size/ergos compared to the Native 5? Sorry for the late reply. Its got a little more real estate than the native 5. Both great knives, but theres something about the way t...

Your fobs look great and functional.
I'm glad I could help by giving you a usable idea.
Hope you can dial something in that works perfectly for your needs.
Keep us up to date!

Thx Don! i'm still fobbing over here :D

Hey guys, Here's a fob I've started using, a doubled celtic button knot. I burn the cord on the presentation side of the lanyard hole to make a stop. The fob doesn't loop over the backspacer, which I don't like, and it hangs out of the pocket more naturally, imho. Thanks for looking! Later, Don I t...

Well it looks like I've entered the world of "fobs", how did I get here.. Plus, side this rattle snake tail dealio is holding the medium size and weight spydies nicely at the top of pocket. Somewhat fitting for the Ouroboros as well. Sssssssss The testing continues https://s25.postimg.org/...

Why are people so concerned about deep carry? People can tell you have a knife either way, and why are you all so concerned with someone knowing you have a pocket knife in the first place? Carrying some IWB with an untucked shirt is going to be worlds more discreet than any deep carry clip is. Kniv...

The clip keeps the o ring in place, and it's right at the top of my pocket, and folds down on the fabric, or can be folded to the inside.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

Thanks Don, very minimal pull I like it.

Well as far as alternatives go, I've tried "suspension clips" and I've tried lanyards with other kinds of clips on them like S biners, but at best they only worked for me when used on small knives. I tend to carry medium to large knives so they end up being close to as long as my pocket i...

Well, for me the pocket clip is the best thing to happen to the knife since adding a folding pivot to it. Before clips I only carried knives when I was doing an activity that actively needed a knife like hunting or fishing. I generally hate loose things bouncing around in my pockets and equally hat...

I always removed clips and just carried inside my pocket for years. Now I use the clips and my knives stay so much cleaner (I do landscaping, tree work, etc). Whatever works! I can see the all those earthy small bits being a problem! Yes keeping them out of the deep end of the pool and free from de...

Mega Nerd Specs & Methodology: 1. Paracord thickness: I found that the standard 550 type paracord doesn't really like to bend, given the weight of the bead (pull) showing out of pocket. However 2mm paracord feels virtually invisible and bends nicely over the pocket. The bend is the most importan...
