peterson mini-knife

I don't know if you are serious about that but... yes, it would help a lot.

Yes, I'm serious.

I have most of the peterson tools when it comes to bypass. I can scan them when I get a chance and post them to my photobucket account. These tools should be only discussed in the advanced forums though since they are "bypass" tools. We need to keep that in mind even though they are intended to bypass low security locking systems.

Well, I understand the discussion of them should be restricted to the advanced forums, but what about just posting pictures? Since Peterson's website already has some fairly good pictures would it really matter?

With dimensions I would be inclined to say advanced forum.

I look forwards to seing them - advanced or public

What peterson does is their decision. I just know that the rules here state that bypass is for advanced forums only.

Thanks for the clarification!

I did not mean to come across as a jerk there . I just have to do what the rules state.

Just seen a demo vid on another (inferior) site of the Peterson mini-knife and it's use in opening some combination padlocks. I have never seen one for real but is it something that could be ground out from a hacksaw blade? It does not look rocket science but maybe there are critical dimensions involved. Anyone got a template at all please? Or is the Peterson a bit thicker/thinner/stiffer etc than a hacksaw blade?

eerrrrr......so I guess it's a NO then

It's basically just very thing and fairly stiff metal with a handle. If you can find a decent material, chop out a strip, that's pretty much all there is.

you can make this tool out of a .010" feeler guage. tools necessary, are a sharp tin snips to cut the shape and a fine tooth file to dress the edges so that they aren't waiting for a chance to get a piece of skin.
trying to grind a hacksaw blade to this kind of thickness will only make a tool of uneven thinness, that will break at its weakest point. so start with the proper metal. feeler guages are available onlline in precision brand or starrets, order the footlong halfinch wide versions, and while ordering you may want to add some .020" for making picks, also. Its always useful to have some of this material around.

I made my own following this guide, gluing together lolly sticks works suprisingly well (I used some generic Loctite stuff) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaRJyd5raq4. I then wound around lots of elastic bands around the handles which makes them very grippy and nice to hold.

it is also promotes finer steel than what is currently on the market.

I call BS on their "government steel." I'm a steel junkie on other parts of the nets and am very suspicious of anyone who creates a brand name for the steel. It's like saying 420JS is "surgical stainless" and 440A is "high carbon stainless."
