Found another old 84mm Climber.
This time I ordered a Cadet. Let's see which one I'll like better: Voyageur or scissored-up Cadet. :angel:

Scissors on a Cadet does make a good SAK, though I'm actually a big fan of the Climber Small as it stands. :D

Looks like a broken spring.
I recently got 3 84mm replacement scissors from Victorinox. Old leftovers I think. Awesome!

While waiting for the Cadet I fiddled this one together. Tore apart my old Midnight Manager, bought an Alox Classic and after some magic spells:



Notice how the shield is on the right side (like on the bigger models) instead of near to the keyring. This has always been bothering me with the small Alox (including the +B Alox Rambler).

Cadet with scissors. Finally. I have to say this sucker is close to being perfect for me.



I used thin Cadet liners for this (had to get two :S). Super slim. :D

For the cadet that lost its liner, you could use a liner from a donor recruit or somesuch (and maybe use the spring to make it into something else).

I will make an Alox Huntsman out of it.
I got a Golfer (-> scissors) on the way and a MyFirstVictorinox (-> saw) should be here any minute.
This thing will then have the thick liners of the cellidor models. The thin ones would be better, but I'd need 3 of them and I'm not willing to buy 3 Cadets just to get the liners. :angel:

Does the fourth layer make it too thick for pocket carry?

Syph made a delicious serrated blade that got me thinking about adding one to a Cadet.

So while waiting for my diamond bit to arrive I came up with a possible toolset:







Due to the asymmetric profile of the 84mm line, placing both blade layers directly next to each other kills accessibility. I solved this by placing the scissors in between.
With this setup you end up having two main blades (one flat and one serrated), nailfile, combo tool and scissors. I really like it.

What do you think?

Looking good Crackout. :cheers:  Only thing I'll say is watch out for the position of the Combo tool, if it's ever going to be used as a can opener it's got to be in the correct place. :)

Right Gareth. These should be swapped. :)
Depending on the success of papercut this knife will have screw pivots.

What do you think?

throw a My First Plus saw in there and you have all the cutting bases covered.

Orange!!!  I really wish I could get orange hard anodizing done!

Did you have to strip the scales or did your guy do it?  The first time I did mine I let them strip the scales and they did not do a great job, some had some of the red shield showing through the black and it was pretty poor, so after that I do it myself and scrub that red off!

Looking good!  :tu:

I like that shade of orange...it may be the way the light hits it, but the inner part of the shield looks like a darker orange. I like the contrast that it gives with the rest of the scale.
