Weird this topic is in RWI. It's like free post count lol. Anyway, I DIY'ed myself this thinga  few days ago.



If you're wondering what those numbers are, they are actually sizes for hex screws. I bought this at a local hardware shop for about RM9. Then bough some screws because the provided screws are too big.

That's a good idea, bt even with only 6 keys, the final weight isn't something i would call light.

The only problem with mixing in tools is the possibility it'll disrupt the thickness. And unless you plan well, it'll look weird with one side being thicker while the other thinner or one side has ore stuff while the other has less stuff. (I'm very anal about having my stuff symmetrical, so either of those problems will surely irritate me)

I guess it depends on your personal needs. For me, it would be cool to add more, but the stupidly thick "grip" and weight of it is a turnoff for me to add any more.

Interesting that the have the other screws. My place only had the torx set. Bummer.
On the topic of key holder/organizer, I found this the other day :

It can't hold any extra tools or a lot of keys, but for the essential ones, it'll work. Plus there's a coin pouch. Very useful for us Malaysians where we are still very reliant on coins but use a slim wallet with no place to put your coins. Too bad the price is kill. Just sharing

I guess that one is expensive due to the leather probably. I dunno.

But bruh... That knife tho... Where?!

Whut. That kind of curing doesn't come cheap liao. Will keep an eye out alright. Oh didn't notice it, but nice color theme. I just mix any color as long as it serves its purpose

just bought 2 new toys.
sanrenmu 7045 blade that comes with seat belt cutter and glass breaker, and a olight i3e...single mode at 90 lumens.

the i3e is in the middle of the SAK 58mm and fenix LD01...its so nice and small

hmm so i saw mr.diy now has almost the full range of copies of those gerber gdc.
[attachmentid=8821290]

so my itchy hands decided to try out some of the mr.diy copies.
[attachmentid=8821260]

the badly named hotak...from the packaging appears to be a mr.diy brand that they make in china...
and like the gerber it's damn hard to open due to the frame lock putting too much side pressure on the blade.
theres also no way for me to use this as part of my edc...
i also wonder what are the chances of the factory being the oem for gerber...

the next cheap crap is the skeletool copy...its basically almost the same size as the original but thicker due to that extra blade.
claims its stainless steel...but from the rest of the samples in store...it looks softer since can see what look to be deep scratches on some.
the wire cutters also look like they're made from some alloy.
the blade also isnt sharp at all...not surprising there.

anyway, that traveler brand kinda sux...but that hotak thing has some decent quality...
if i had any other use for those gerber copies i may get them...maybe wait for a hook knife or money clip copy

first few tries i used a coin instead of breaking my fingernail
i loosen the frame already...just stick a flat head screwdriver between frame and blade and twist...no need to disassemble anything.

ya, more than enough side pressure.
i bent the frame so that its almost at the edge of the blade, still locks fine...and wont be using it hard so not like its going to fold over and cut off my fingers...
but in the end i still rather carry around a sak classic with a kershaw cinder which at least can be opened with 1 hand.

actually if u dremel away the ball detent, there is gonna be more frame pushing against the blade...wouldnt that make it even harder to open?
