Never lose your knife again
Never lose your knife again
A bit of panic set in when I could not find my Spyderco Mcbee. After 10 min of looking I found it but I was like “****, this is easy to lose” then the genius kicked in. I need an “Apple Air Tag” on a lanyard for this so it never happens again. Now, how to affix to a lanyard… leather?

Maybe wrap it up with 550 cord like a monkeys fist knot? It'll probably end up larger than the McBee though.

I think they make tasteful leather AirTag holders. Not a bad idea!
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

I suppose as the technology improves and becomes smaller, products like ‘Milwaukee ONE-KEY™’ or ‘Milwaukee TICK™’, will be handy. I can’t wait for Spyderco to develop it. Then I could use my, ‘find my Spydie’ app, to locate my knife spinning around in the washing machine!

This is a great idea for knives used outdoors, camping and hunting and such. Eventually if they start making trackers like this in smaller sizes they might be able to be stuck inside the handle between the liners or even inside a lanyard hole.
Someone needs to start making "gear trackers" and patent it. There's definitely money in this idea.

I’m pretty sure you could have a pop in,pop out section for one of these in a fixed blade handleEvil D wrote: ↑Tue Nov 29, 2022 6:07 amThis is a great idea for knives used outdoors, camping and hunting and such.

Ones this size can also have a SOS feature
This is the smallest on a quick google search
Im a vegetarian as technically cows are made of grass and water.

Oh definitely. You could probably hollow out the scales on most fixed blades with bolt on scales and hide that underneath if that isn't too thick. I bet on a Mule you could cut out a square from the center of the handle tang and fit that inside between the scales.

Re: Never lose your knife again
There has already been thieves and criminals using AirTags for things they shouldn’t. I think it’s a great idea, but its potential for misuse has already been showed to us. This would be another step towards even smaller ones.
For example, at one point not just anyone could go buy tracking devices, you had to be a car dealer or something similar. Not sure if that’s still the case but…

Wouldn't one accidentally lose the mcbee more often (momentarily) given that the airtag is big enough to nearly obscure the entire mcbee?
