opinel lanyard idea for deep pocket carry. this is a piece of bicycle derailleur cable with the end flied down to under 1.75 mm (70 thou) flat, so it can fit into the handle. the hole needs to be slightly over 1.2 mm (48 thou), and the optional cover over the cable is electronics heat shrink. the crimp comes from fishing supplies. you have to carve a little bit out of the handle for the cable to be able to fit into the handle. i never liked the idea of just drilling a hole sideways like people usually do. this adds about 3 grams to the weight of the knife. if you decide to remove this, the damage is a tiny hole in the bottom of the handle.
