84mm Alox mod ideas
on: May 03, 2015, 05:25:36 AM
I'm looking for more 84mm Alox mod ideas.  I'll soon have a couple of Cadet Alox knives I can mod.

I'm shelving my idea of a three layer, all blades knife for now.  It looks like layer one main blade blocks access to layer two main blade, which again will block access to layer three main blade.  I would have to open layer one before opening layer two and etc.

Perhaps inserting an opener layer between to blade layers is possible.

I have a main blade, serrated blade, youth blade ("butter blade"), small pen blade, clip point blade and an electrician's blade available to use in an 84mm.

Saw blades are obtainable from the "My First Victorinox Plus" models.  An 84mm version of a Farmer or Electrican's plus is possible.

I'm looking for opportunities to obtain 84mm scissors, without spending an arm and a leg. I don't have the equipment to modify 91mm scissors to 84mm at this time, drilling and grinding the hardened steel would be difficult to try right now.

I would like to try the magnifier and modified phillips layer in an 84mm, but again I'm not set up for the grinding and drilling necessary to do it.

Other ideas?

Post pictures of your 84mm Alox mods if you have them.

Modding alox can be very expensive if you don't have specific idea in mind. ( I gone through that path).
If you want less hassle of grinding and drilling then use original part of 84 mm.
84 mm model with scissors is not hard to find but it requires your time to hunt down. I have seen a few sold for reasonable price in the last 2 months.
There are threads of how to, technic and many pictures on Mod squad section. Take your time and browse around and most importantly enjoy. Some mods are incredible.

Here's one I did with two large blades and one small blade.

Say my name.

Nice photos.

@GigaHz The knife on the top right looks like a scissors layer between two blade layers?

Ooo... a long backside file.  I would like to find one of those too for a mod.

Oooo...  :o  Now I'm thinking a five or six layer: Blades / Scissors / Blades / Saw / Blades / (Openers).

Got to get me some 84mm scissors!

I bid on a green Cellidor on Fleabay with scissors, recently.  I underbid :( and someone else got it.  Perhaps someone on the forum?  It was in very nice condition, and I probably wouldn't have torn it down for parts but would have kept it in my collection.
