Hey,
believe it or not, today I did NOT make a slingshot... but a knife!
In Germany, we usually can't own gravity knifes. We also can't carry one-hand folding knifes that lock the blade.
But I found a loophole! The law says that if the gravity knife does NOT lock the blade automatically or by the released button, then it is legal. And even legal to carry IF you have to use the other hand for the lock.
But such knifes are not commercially available.
So I made one! Not completely finished, but it works. Two small neodyme magnets hold the blade in place (both positions), and the screw will firmly lock it if needed. Will polish it and also find a nicer screw.
The blade is from an AK 47 bayonet. Blade length is 12,5 cm.
