Ikuchi lanyard hole problem

[Spydersense]

Paul, your lanyard hole placement has me scratching my head. I can't figure out how to get the knife open to use it now. What gives? :confused:

Thanks for a good laugh!

Clearly designed to prevent someone from opening your knife without your knowledge, but you are supposed to use a locking cable.

An impressive security feature!

It's a design feature, the Ikuchi is convertible to a two-hand-folder.
Thanks for the laugh ... :D

Matt,
You are doing it all wrong. You are supposed to first open the knife and then attach the lanyard...

[Zatx]

The lanyard hole (or lack thereof) is its greatest feature!

Just have to find the right lanyard. :)

HAHAH! Good one! Thanks for the laugh!

Open knife, insert lanyard, close knife to cut lanyard. Easy as pie!

I think I may have found my wife's newest neck knife...

The best part is she can put it straight to use while still attached to her necklace. Talk about "designed in the dark" functionality! :D :D

Ever since I added this "lanyard" I absolutely cannot open this knife anymore. Any ideas y'all?

[Spydersense]

Nice Spydergirl!

I'm glad that I could make a few people laugh with this thread. :)

Honestly, I'm glad that this model doesn't have a lanyard hole. Another great design Paul! I'm very happy with mine!

oops, double post

Maybe not exactly a *lanyard*, but while the Ikuchi may be named for a mythical Japanese sea monster, I'm finding mine is channeling an inner Polynesian deity watching over my Tiki drink...

Awesome! ^

I can't see the pic for some reason. Anybody else having this problem?
