Rabbit Update (Custom Titanium Screws and Posts!)
Okay, so, I’m picking the freshly machined Rabbits up this afternoon and will start the tumbling this weekend.
Luckily I have a beast of a tumbler so should be able to put 200 at a time in (maybe more!).
I will do a better update soon but I really have to run off right now and pick up those Rabbits!
In the meantime – here’s how the new, slimline custom titanium screws and posts turned out – enjoy:
I’m hoping the slimmer screws will let me put my Kryptonite bike keys in it. I have 3 and it’s been driving me nuts bc most key holders aren’t made for the plastic part of the key
Hey Xan, I’m curious as well – but I am not familiar with these keys. I will have a look on Google to see if I can find them. But, in the meantime, are you able to direct me to what your keys look like? Cheers.
If he has the same key that I have it has a heart shaped hole with point of the ‘heart’ being approx 5mm from point of the heart to the middle of the heart and about 8-9mm across, at the widest point. Currently this hold is only big enough to put a split ring through but won’t fit on my existing Cineik key holder. Hope that helps.
Thank you Joe. Hmmm, to fit on the Rabbit posts it’s going to need to have a 5mm diameter hole – which it sounds like it does not have.
However… with the included titanium “figure-of-8” and titanium split-ring I’m including then you will, at least, be able to attach such keys the Rabbit.
Indeed Magnus. However, I view this as a fault of Kryptonite, not of yours. I’ve never understood the need to break away from the traditional/universal hole in the key design. Perhaps they just want to be unique…. Or annoying
I really liked the other postsand didn’t think slimmer version would look as good but I was wrong!
Thanks David. Yeah, they’ve done a good job on them – exactly like in the drawings. It’s amazing what a little “shaving-off” can do to how they look.
Way better.
Thanks Bill. 🙂 (that’s my Dad for anyone who thinks I’m being “funny”)
I really dig the new screws! they look great and the tapering will be nice in the pocket
I’ve not actually tried them in the pocket. I was happy enough with the ones I had …so really looking forward to these!
Nice screws. I am looking forward to replacing my Keysmart. It just isn’t working for me.
They do look cool. I’m replacing my key smart and OrbitKey as well with the Rabbit so this looks even better.
I’ve been looking for a set of titanium screws for one of the Paramilitary 2’s I have, and I was wondering if you might have some in stock or if it were possible for you to fabricate a set.
The screws that I am referring to are the two Torx-10 and the four Torx-9 flathead screws that hold the knife together.
