Har-de-har-har,
Last time I looked, the canvas riggers bag, that I carry my carvin stuff in, had 13 knives either in or on the bag.
Got all but #26 taken care of.

HA I love it... a few more things we could slash with a good magic piece of cutlery... Slash the national debt, cut of the flow of oil in the gulf, cut the stupid bickering in washington and get some decent work done for us working guys. I am sure i could think of more.. but thats a pretty good start.

JJ, Dale gave you the primary pre-requisite. The second one is that you must carry at least three knives and/or multi-tools of your choice at all times, and together they must be capable of:
1. Slicing and dicing
2. Cutting your finger nails
3. Filing your finger nails
4. Opening wine bottles
5. Gripping things tightly (pliers)
6. Turning flathead and phillips head screws
7. Puncturing holes in leather or heavy canvas
8. Opening cans
9. Eating a three course meal
10. Starting a fire
11. Signaling a plane overhead
12. Sawing off a limb
13. Writing a note
14. Magnifying an image
15. Storing digital data
16. Cutting wire
17. Cutting cheese
18. Cutting corners
19. Cutting boring conversation short
20. Cutting egotists down to size
21. Cutting class
22. Cutting through the b.s.
23. Cutting in
24. Cutting out
25. Cutting a deal
26. Cutting others a little slack
27. Cutting your nose off to spite your face
28. Cutting down on expenses
29. Cutting marshmallow roasting sticks by the fire on the beach
30. Cutting the cards after roasting marshmallows.
If you can do all those things with three knives, you are a Master Knifeologist and an iKC icon.

Terry .. Alex has good/wking solution ..

.. implemented similar approach replacing the lock pin in a Paragon auto .. original snapped in half @ narrow section .. only replacement on hand was from the flea-mkt auto's I've posted here for "fun/mod" purposes .. it was LARGER than the original .. chucked the oversize replacement part up in the drill press & used file & sandpaper ..

..specifically .. my application .. used a single file applied @ an angle .. maintained taper on locking surface .. finished w/ worn sandpaper .. keep the vernier calipers handy !!!!

Chucking up on the part wasn't fun .. wked like a charm though !!!! the resulting "machined" surface .. round dia, tapered lock surface, smooth, functional, ...

Alex .. thanks for pitching in here .. did you catch the Mikov assembly tutorial in "Reference Material" ?? know your interest in that area ..

Terry,

Pin sizes aren't a problem. Just take the next size up and chuck it in a drill press and turn it between two files to bring it down to size. Works like a charm.

One of my $8.00 knives is almost finished, but I made an OOPS on the scales that I'm trying to hide. I guess my fun will have to wait til another day. Don't you just hate it when you spend hours filing, shaping and sanding, then a simple little blooper turns perfection into caca? I can hear life's sucking noise loud in my ears.
