Oh just a 91mm alox prototype! Hard anodized black scales. 1/8 inch pivots, hidden 4th pin.Alox super tinker!

It will get rebuilt now with polished brass liners. Im very happy with how this worked out though. Expect to see alox plus scales for 91's in 2014.

And do we refer to you now as Syph, Master, or lord? Dont know if you have a list going but PLEASE put me on it! Incredible work.
Nice work! Now you got me even more interested than I was before as I like Super Tinker's! I am also thinking Alox Explorer! Now you just need to cut in the tweezer, toothpick, pin and pen, then I can get an Alox Explorer Plus! This was a fit up test and it all works perfect.

You can definitely count me in for some Alox plus scales. I'm really looking forward to this.
Got a couiple of Solo Reds, another Alox Cadet and a Pocket Pal. This last one is going to be my formal attire SAK. Completely unnoticeable! Both the Pocket Pal and Solo come in a small pouch, no box. The Solo is huge! Look at the group photo.

The only problem I see with T&T scales is the thickness.If you want to use unmodified scale tools, the scales need the same thickness as the cellidor ones making the knife a thick brick. I hope you'll offer slim scales without tools as well.
Plus you need the outer liners if you want these tools. Nah, my money's on the classic style scales.

It woudl be better if I just made a holder to hold the T&T that fits where the hook is on the scissors layer. Noone would cry about replacing the hook with T&T if it kept the SAK thin.

Well also the addition of 2 liner that I didnt have to use.

Well also the addition of 2 liner that I didnt have to use.I've made custom alox scales for 91mm knives before (although never this pretty). Mine were plus scales. To keep the knife thin I put all the tools in the back scale like the newer Voyagers and Travellers. That way the front scale can stay thin and not need a liner. The rear scale is thicker and I used a thin nickel-silver liner like the 84mm alox use. I worked out pretty well, actually - not too much thicker than plain alox handles, but with the pen, toothpick and tweezers.
... Now would anyone just want T&T and not the pen, or do I assume everyone wants plus. ...
Id love to see pics of your scales if you got any?
