Homemade razor knife clip on holder

[bonneyman]

You guys know I snagged a Bonney razor knife awhile back. Only thing was, it was the older no-retractable blade style. And i really didn't want to cut my pants pockets - or worse my leg! Tried several ideas, none really worked.

Then I found this ABS shop vac attachment, and adapted it to my needs. Seems to work fine!

I heated the outside with a Bar-B-Q lighter until it softened, then jammed the knife body into it to set the shape. Once cooled it was perfect! Only thing was I had to heat it so high the outside surface started to char. So I covered it over with a layer of ABS cement. Then attached one of those cordless drill belt clips, and painted to knife logo. Came out well!

Here she is finished.

Holds the knife securely - even upside down it won't fall out by shaking. Don't figure I'll actually use the thing. It was one of those "buy it because it's a Bonney" snag. But in a pinch it can be pressed into service and be usable.

I've got your next mod for this......

Take a vintage Motorola pager, and remove the back clip. Pop rivet it to your holder and ShaaaZaaam. You've got a clip-on, one-of-a-kind, gen-U-ine, Bonney custom (not yet ready for prime time), child and theft proof, safety holder.

Patent pending of course.

Guess I was not fast enough. You solved the clip challenge already.

That's a great idea! Have to start looking for some old non-functional pagers and cannibalize the clips.

Bman, a heat gun would of heated that plastic nice and even. Nice thinking outside the box which you are so good at.

Way to go.

Personally I'd just make one out of leather, but that's probably because I love leather and working  with it all the time
Attaching a clip can be tricky but manageable.

Yeah, shoot, leather would have been better.

Love it, would have never thought of heating the plastic to mold it


Very creative!
