And so it begins.... (My adventures into Alox!)

These are amazing. That Cybertool is ingenious! I could never come up with that tool combo if I had to tell you what I wanted.

I put some more effort into standardizing the large bottle opener from the pioneer opposite the mag glass layer and made up a bunch. Its does need quite alot of re-shaping but it works nicely. The only con is you lose the wire stripper.

Pretty unique toolset though.

Perfect tools set for me.

Why don't you mill a wire stripper notch into the mag glass holder? There's plenty of space, it won't affect the mag glass's function, and then you don't have to lose the wire stripper

But it lacks phillips driver. I would prefer the combo tool instead the bottle opener, but perhaps too long for the magnifier layer...

Swap a phillips for the corkscrew.

I got an email from Tormach saying mine is ready to ship and should be hear in a week!

Now I get to find out how many organs I need to sell to covert import duty.

Yes! Black is the only color they never screw up though. The last time I tried red all the parts were ruined.

I get 93mm alox orders maybe 3-4 a month now. The Ti 91s are for sure the most requested now.

I cant wait to see what you start putting out once you have that CNC mill in your shop

Syph007 · **Reply #3642 on:** April 03, 2016, 03:17:01 AM

I made a 91mm alox compact ranger today. Its been awhile since someone asked for these scales. I think I still have 20 sets of them, so that should last quite awhile.

That doesn't surprise me one bit. Once I saw what you were able to do with titanium I figured it was only a matter of time before they took precedence.

And the brass mag holder still freaks me out (in a good way!)

Ok so another tool layout question.

Inline phillps across from a bottle opener and small penknife blade. Is this doable?

Intend to pair this with scissors and maybe a metal file on a 93mm OC frame size.

Yup that works fine. Can also fit electrician blade or pruner in the penknife spot too.

lowtech · **Reply #3648 on:** April 03, 2016, 09:09:16 PM

I would take a set of those wrapped around a compact with Awl and Phillips in a heartbeat, but they are out of reach for me right now - At least until after our move...

Excellent, thanks for the quick reply.

Thinking about this some more, how about penknife blade across from the bottle opener? That way I can get one of your sweet brass mag glass mods in the usual spot across from the inline phillips.

I bet that backside chisel makes a pretty good prybar when it is mounted between some titanium scales?

Out of curiosity how much would a 91 with ti scales start off at? Before i waste any time going down the full custom enquiry route

The Ti conversions start at 190 + donor SAK. Thats kind of the base cost that includes the Titanium, waterjet, pivots, labor to convert the parts to the pivots system I use, the pivots, screws, msc supplies etc. Then I charge more for the fancy stuff like brass liners, pocket clip, metal cross. I really need to make up a price list with some stock models as I still work out the build cost for each inquiry which is for sure not the most efficient way to do it.

I just skip the whole process and make Robert an authorized user of my debit card.
