I've been carrying a Crawford Kasper folder for a while and and I've decided that I don't really like tip down carry for a folder. It just seems so much easier to deploy with the tip up. Unfortunately, there aren't holes on this knife at the other end so that I can simply move the clip. So, I have a couple questions. . .
First, how hard is it to drill and tap new holes? I don't have a drill press, so I'm kind of worried about being able to align the new holes properly. This may be a good excuse to get the drill press kit for my Dremel. Also, I don't have a tap and die set, and I don't know what to look for in a set or have any idea how much I should expect to spend on one.
Second question. . . I'm thinking about trying to just make something myself that would attach with a screw through the lanyard hole. Has anyone ever seen or heard of or done anything like this before?
I'm also considering the possibility of making or buying a sheath for it and removing the pocket clip entirely.
Thanks in advance for your comments and advice!
