But nobody ever wants the Fish Scaler - For the width of the blade I'd always be tempted to include it!
I have found it very useful a couple of times.
Note to self: Make post to get badge!!

The tool I'd be tempted to drop would be the pliers - Although if I was going for a Champ - You might as well keep them too - What's another 3mm

Does the pruner blade need any work to fit in place of the small blade? Your knives keep improving nicely!

The blade doesn't need altering but the spacer beside it is thinner than normal that's all.

Couple more.

Now what to call a pioneer x with magnifier in place of can opener? Not really an explorer variant since it has no phillips. So maybe the Pioneer Sleuth?

Love the Pioneer Sleuth

So is there any way to put an electrician blade on a 91mm?

Yes they fit fine in place of small blade.

All brass pioneer with engraving plate.

Diggin' that!

Huntsman · **Reply #5141 on:** January 30, 2018, 03:03:55 AM

That keyring holder looks very wide and a bit unusual/wrong

I know you make the liner and awl spacer/blade rest insert as one piece - However is that one the same width as a regular spacer+liner

Yes identical in width. 0.07" Only the part where the ring goes though is full thickness. Much stronger this way especially in brass around the keyring area. Much nicer on the palm as well, smooth and not bitey. Bascailly better in all possible ways.

Got it - Thanks

All brass pioneer..........

If I could afford any of these beauties I would have one hell of a time picking........but that Pioneer would be close to the top of the list

Im liking this tumbled diamond texture alot lately. It wears very well since well its already pre-worn in a way.

Syph007 · **Reply #5146 on:** February 07, 2018, 11:17:55 PM

And today we also have a 2 tool SAK. Yes it JUST barely qualifies as a multitool with 2 tools.

Syph007 · **Reply #5147 on:** February 07, 2018, 11:19:29 PM

And last one today is a skeltonized compact tinker.

SteveC · **Reply #5148 on:** February 08, 2018, 12:15:28 AM

Nice ones Syph ! I really like the tumbled finish as well

The Diamond tumbled finish has got to be my fave...

Nice! That skeltonized is pretty cool, the only thing that keeps me thinking on it is pocket lint..

Normal saks have that issue too, at least these scale make it easier to clean out. Just vacuum or run hot water through.

Been busy working on a line of pens and fidget spinner... not... lol. 3 SAKs today.

First up just a tinker.

Syph007 · **Reply #5154 on:** February 15, 2018, 10:59:05 PM

2nd was a climber. Ti liners and scales and engraving under corkscrew.

Syph007 · **Reply #5155 on:** February 15, 2018, 11:00:08 PM

And last, going by standard nomenclature this would be Pioneer rancher x.

Syph007 · **Reply #5156 on:** February 16, 2018, 08:26:47 PM

New part time again, this time Im working on a comb that can work with the saw layer backspring. The part that hits the rest area and nail nick needs some more thought still though, but over all it should work.

In other news Im doing an interview with the site knifenews that should be published next week.

They want to know all about custom SAKs.
