LOL....nooooo ! I cut the shifter down and replaced the flat bar stock with hollow wide barstock to act as a sheath for the Cold Steel Push dagger blade. The push dagger handle was replaced with the hurst shifter "handle" and I added a spring detent to keep the rig in place while I shifted . All I had to do was have the new barstock material chromed to match and it really is undetectable. A quick stout pull and blade is in hand to cut whatever needs cuttin.
Stay Safe !
