Is that an Estwing Axe? I rock one of those in the back of my truck.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the 3d printer wire clip adapter on these knives. Maybe I missed in another thread. I'd like to know more!

Ha, thanks for noticing :beaming-face
It's not an original idea, I've seen a couple others utilize the lanyard hole for something more useful like this ;), but hadn't seen anyone do it quite like mine I suppose. I've seen people cut the recesses into the scales directly to accomplish the same thing, but that wasn't something I wanted to do in case I screwed up. I originally designed one of these adapters for my Lil Temperance 3 since there's no one making deep carry clips for that model after searching for a couple weeks and confirming with Casey Lynch and MXG gear that their Native 5 clips wouldn't fit. I own a 3D printer obviously and I've been teaching myself a bit of 3D modelling so this was the exact kind of thing I bought a 3D printer for.

The Native 5 clip setup is very similar to the LT3, just the hole spacing is different so that was an easy adjustment in the design. I've posted about the adapter I made for the LT3 on the forum here a couple times, but yeah no one seemed to care lol. Understandable since it's not a super popular model and is discontinued, but maybe that'll change with the new LW FRN version releasing soon.

Anyway, it's basically a small piece that sits on top of the scales with the cutouts for the wire clip, then utilizes a chicago screw post setup through the lanyard hole to secure the wire clip in the same fashion that factory models with the wire clip secure it. I think the best part of my approach is it doesn't require any permanent modification to the scales like I've seen others do to accomplish the same thing, so the knife is easily returnable to the factory setup. I've also made the adapter for a Delica 4 and Para 3 G10 as well, but honestly I think it works best with the clip setup like on the Native 5 and LT3 due to the placement of the clip screw holes in relation to the lanyard hole. The Delica version didn't pan out as there wasn't enough space to work with and the Para 3 version I didn't test much since I already had a Lynch clip for it. But yeah, that's the story of that adapter.

Cheers
