Yes, I am indeed. What else could I be referring to my man? LOL.
Guys, I appreciate all the info, I really do, but I'm trying to determine the ACTUAL TOOL used for this type of fastener. Not makeshift pennies and stuff.
I DO appreciate the comments though.
I am fairly certain I have seen this type of fastener driver before, in one of the big industrial supply catalogs, but I COULD be wrong. Sometimes companies like Spyderco/etc will make up their own proprietary fasteners, but many times they will use a lesser known fastener design, and there are indeed drivers made for them.
I think I've seen this same fastener used in other machinery apps before, years ago, in fact, I KNOW I've seen the design. Whether or not the fastener I saw years ago holds the EXACT same specs still remains to be known.
I will look when I have the time. I thought for sure that one of you Spydie-holics had done this research before, and found the actual tool made for this fastener.
In the mean time, I will continue to use makeshift pennies/etc.
Of course, many of these makeshift tools DO marr up your clip/fastener, and that's not cool, even on a user knife. I have found a number of things that don't marr it up, but most of them are a PIA, and I'd much rather have a the real tool like Spyderco uses to install these fasteners. Might have to make one if I can't find it...
