The Knife Thread

Use grey rope to tape it to a pole

Basic design done....All I need now is a couple of leaf springs...

Nah I'm good to go, I'll make mine from mild steel.
Later I'll do a spring steel copy. Think I've ticked most boxes as well.
All I did was throw a heap of tool in a pile and made one design with all tools in it.
And I might add even a signalling mirror oh yeah baby, Boom baby Boom
Are we showing design now as we will all be different I think, Im done just need some holes
and an edge put on it but shape wont change

Leaf springs.. Geeze were getting thick now..

It's an interesting concept the multi tool.
Any pic of their favourite TD?

I gotta finish the bloody car off then ill make a couple. Still got heaps of L6 steel from the saw blades.
Made 2 and have been informed both are wicked and hold a mighty edge.

@ OD thought you might like this
@ Kallen its not going to win any beauty shows but it needs to do heaps of things for "Survival" that's why its more a tool.
The one I'm doing now is a dummy for the real one, pretty chuffed as it ticks most of the boxes, a handy "TOOL"

What thickness?
My L6 is 4mm.. Probably on the thin side..

Another use to build in, tent peg lifter??
Bottle opener / can opener

I'm thinking a rather wide but stubby dagger..

I went along the lines of a cross between a mattock and a pick,
I'll put up a pic but its way from finished,
The curved under edge is the knife on top will be a saw,
that bung of steel is the hammer the handle will have para cord
to tie a shaft to it as a spear, there will also be a hole in the middle
so you can use as a mattock or pick, Plus I'll polish steel so its reflective as well
but yeah pretty happy so far, the spear part is in the handle.
@ Kallen more survival than camp duties,
edit pic could be better sorry

I have scanned my design but it's in pdf format.... How can I upload that?
