Yes the crazy mod fest continues! I'm still working through a back log of custom requests. I've only been posting ones that were different than standard ones to this thread though. I didn't see the point in posting a bunch of the same mods.I said I wouldn't go above 4 layers, but I did anyway. I've been calling this a big boy farmer.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)I put both saws in the same layer since it seemed silly to put a spacer between two such thin layers. It works fine so I'm happy. There is a 0.005 phosphor bronze washer between the tools though.(Image removed from quote.)Cheers!
That Sir, is a lovely tool! Keep them pictures coming, especially some Bantam / Cadet's. really tempted by a cadet with scissors in black or green or maybe blue??? Regards, Jon.
Wow, another stunner!Is this mod possible with something else instead of the awl? Maybe a small blade? Anything else?Regards, Jon.

Oh for sure ya, any of the small blades would fit in the awl spot, electrician, pruner or small spear point. I 'think' i could put a cadet nail file on if I used my custom spring so I could make the spring end thicker. It sits too low if I use a regular blade spring. Well it works, but the nail nick is partially hidden, same thing if I try an 84mm combo tool there.

If so that would be a perfect combo! JR

I always wondered, why torx screws? I know a lot of knifemakers use it but wouldn't a phillips or flat head screwdriver be more easily serviceable? I mean you could tighten a SAK with a SAK

I mean you could tighten a SAK with a SAK I think both looks, and that you can get more torque on a torx. For a pattern of the same radius, you hve 6 points of contact vs 4. I like the look of the torx over philips too. Other than that the most plain answer is that, that is what all the knife supply stores sell... so thats what i use.

The idea of putting the Philips opposite of the openers is truly genius. Question, though, it looks as though there has to be a layer between them and the blade layer to access the bottle opener nail nick. Is this correct? If so, does it have to be scissors, or would a wood saw still allow access to the bottle opener nick.I'm also curious, does not having the bottle opener up against the liner make it weaker? As in, it would take less prying force to make something break?I've got the mod lust a-brewin'
Someone is trusting me to work on a marlin spike mod! (Image removed from quote.)
