Searching for the Holy Grail...

The currently ideal solution for me... MODSMAN ( MODeler + woodSMAN )
I bought old Champion (& Compact) and create my own model... removed openers, fish scaler, chisel and put combo opener instead of a small blade.

Rahmed · **Reply #1 on:** April 04, 2011, 11:04:03 PM

And from the rest there is a special DofE-style for my daughter... slightly rounded blade & scissors (next pic), added combo opener from Wenger, Phillips and hook... and FruitScaler from Champion... she really likes saw

...to be continued...

edit: many thanks to all predecessors in this great SwissGame

I like the MODSMAN. Nice configuration.

Gareth · **Reply #4 on:** April 04, 2011, 11:16:53 PM

I'm with Nate, that really is a great tool configuration. Nice one.

I like them both! The Modsman is a good woods knife, while your daughter's knife works nicely as a first knife- I never thought of using the fish scaler on fruit, but I have used it to rip through cardboard as a test.

How does the snap feel on the Wenger combo in the Vic?

Very nice! My next planned mod -- my next step towrd a presonal EDC grail -- is a Yeodeler.

Yeoman (original) configuration with a metal saw/file. There's one other implement I'll be adding, but will need to see if it works before I mention it (don't want to jinx it).

Thanks guys...
Yeodeler

It was my plan too but wood saw is a mighty tool - even in 91-line

Pic of EFK after regrind... oh and wenger combo is snapping pretty good - just stick out a little bit in closed position

Now only rivets and black+ scales from Compact.
edit: daughter is enjoying most of the file on hook and said: "... where the magnifying glass is?"

Because I'm still waiting for pins & carbon scales, here is my next modplan...
108GAK - 3 layers: 2 standard and 3rd with scissors and Phillips Bosch Bit

I like how the rounded scissors and blade came out, very nice!

And I've got to ask- how are you going to integrate the 1/4" bit in that? Impatient minds have to inquire.

I reshaped the hex-bit screwdriver, but will not fit there - there not enough place to drill a hole for pin - just a little bit

... have to think of another solution...

Darn- I was hoping you were smarter than me

Rahmed · **Reply #14 on:** April 13, 2011, 02:10:28 PM

I had to try it... sorry I let you down

Rahmed · **Reply #15 on:** April 30, 2011, 05:10:19 PM

Yesterday I finally concluded the project Modsman ... tools selection unchanged. I just moved the Phillips/magnifying glass in the middle layer... it will be surely better from ergonomic aspects. It's riveted now, everything is going well, snap is excellent

Just add walnut handles...

Gareth · **Reply #16 on:** April 30, 2011, 05:40:12 PM

Looking very nice.

edcgear · **Reply #17 on:** April 30, 2011, 06:37:40 PM

That's nice setup...

nuphoria · **Reply #18 on:** May 01, 2011, 12:44:01 AM

Good stuff.... looking forward to it being finished

Rahmed · **Reply #19 on:** May 04, 2011, 09:14:44 AM

Postman rang today...

Thanks Neil!

Fabulous work Rahmed!

Very nicely done.

Gareth · **Reply #22 on:** May 07, 2011, 04:56:50 PM

Love that one Rahmed, very original.

ironraven · **Reply #23 on:** May 07, 2011, 11:46:46 PM

Very cool! The little red bit I assume is a pocket hanger- kydex? And what is the stamp on it?

Rahmed · **Reply #24 on:** May 08, 2011, 10:51:50 AM

Thank you gentlemen... it is encouraged for further work

2ironraven: it's really from Kydex... stamp is "double-foot" mark of polish maker which produces these hooks

Sparky415 · **Reply #25 on:** May 08, 2011, 12:08:36 PM

Very nice work Rahmed

Rahmed · **Reply #26 on:** May 20, 2011, 06:43:25 PM

Something new...long-planned conversion of a model CyberTool34 to...Monteur

Remove the reamer, hook, small blade, scissors and both openers ... added combo opener, metal saw/file and scaler.

...and if I keep pins from Cyber Tool, I pieced together... Lumber(big)jack

ironraven · **Reply #27 on:** May 21, 2011, 04:56:24 AM

So... why the fish scaler?

I do like the bigger Lumberjack, although I think the original had a phillips not a corkscrew.

Rahmed · **Reply #28 on:** May 21, 2011, 09:24:17 AM

Ruler with magnetized tip is pretty useful tool ...for me
