Cliphanger Question
Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2019 6:19 pm
I've been wanting the larger CH-7 Cliphanger for quite some time, and now I've (hopefully) got a CH-7 on the way for next to nothing. Except for one problem, it's missing the lanyard that clips into the handle. I have a CH-3 with a complete lanyard (carabiner, webbing, and quick release clip), and a spare clip that came with the knife; but the CH-3 is too small for some things; but the quick release lanyard sure is handy to keep from losing it. I think the CH-3 clip is actually smaller than the CH-7's; correct?
And seeing as there are no large size lanyards (just for the CH-3) to be found, I am wondering if I can just use the clip. Our Research section says "permanently mounted" on the similar frame models (Sportmates). But these are actually steel, not Zytel as the ad in the Research section says. Not only that, they look removable, and have the same clip as the ends of the lanyard to fit into the handle.
