What tools would you want to see that never were?

I know the flint wheel assembly from a zippo lighter can be redesigned into a foldout version for a SAK. Coupled with a removable magnesium scale inlay it would make an awesome bushcraft knife.

That's gotta be one of the most intriguing mod ideas I've heard. Have you done it? or do you know of someone who has?

Another thing I wouldn't mind seeing is a firesteel striker.
Sort of a specialized tool but simple enough that it could be included as part of another tool, much like the screwdrivers on the bottle and can openers.

The can-opener makes an OK striker, as does the saw.

can't bring myself to use the awl or blade as a striker like some folks do.

The blade gets knackered pretty quickly doing that, but if you always use the part near the tang it remains usable.

Yeah I don't like to use anything that I'd want to remain as sharp as possible.
The saw? why would you use the poor saw? 

But then you couldn't very well rely on it as your sole means of knife sharpening because what would you use to sharpen the SAK blade? hahaha it's so near and yet so far. 

Not a problem, just buy 2 of them!

I like the way you think.

You can use the back edge of the saw as a fire steel striker, the very sharp corner is excellent.  Personally I open the saw up and use the area near the pivot, less chance of it folding back on your fingers.

A spirit level build into the scales would come in handy for me.

I have something like that built into my smart-phone - there are plenty of apps that can show a bubble level on the screen, but the one I use is called "Swiss Army Knife" - it has several useful apps: timer, stopwatch, compass, ruler, flash light & bubble level.  The flashlight uses the phone's LED camera flash and the ruler is very accurate once you calibrate it while holding an actual ruler beside the screen.

How practical it might be to build a spirit level into a SAK I just don't know.

I just tried that out with the saw on my SpiritX, works pretty good.

For striking a ferro rod, you just need a good, clean, sharp corner on something harder than the ferrorod. I've seen it done on napped glass, but then you have to renap it.
