That's what MODS are for. Save some money and get one made.  :tu:

+1 - Amen to that.  I highly recommend getting a custom SAK :tu:

how much to have one made?

I like the idea though
If I can help, let me know

Contact Syph007. He's a forum member here. On the knives he has done for me, the work was outstanding.

Shoot him a PM describing what you want and he will give you an estimate. He also can offer options that perhaps you didn't think of.

What Joe58 said :tu:  Syph made my Mechaneer and Yeochamp, and both are excellent.  He's very good to work with, and very helpful in the planning process.

Damn you guys, I'm in a group of enablers...  :facepalm:


Anyways, as my next SAK will be the SwissChamp, I guess the next one after that will be the Electrician  :drool:

Yes, yes you are >:D  I love the utility blade as well, and here is my custom, the Mechaneer.



See what reading this post made me do   :drool:  Now I get to wait for it to arrive from Canada  :mail:

Nice Jetbo...hey that looks kinda familiar;).  Yours would be a little thinner than mine with scissors instead of pliers.

A little thinner but not much seeing I have been carrying a cadet most of the time.  I bet it going to seem huge at first but I will get used to it, sorry for steering the post a bit off topic  ;)

Oh yeah, it will seem thick, but it's still not as thick as a 4 or 5 layer cellidor, maybe even 3.

         This might sound stupid but why doesn't the Electrician have the smaller screwdriver/can opener? Is it hard to mod it into an Electrician? You would think an electrician would have use for multiple screwdrivers..

Because it has the electrician's blade, the short one with the scraping scallop.

I imagine the awl and the can opener were probably the two on the chopping block, but the awl would be more useful to someone who has a tool kit with him, like an electrician might.

Victorinox used to make a model called the Technician, which was basically an alox soldier/pioneer except that it had a dedicated small screwdriver in place of the standard can opener tool.  I agree that one knife blade plus two screwdrivers would probably be a more useful tradesman's tool that two knife blades plus one screwdriver.  Too bad the Technician is discontinued and semi-rare...

Those are rather nice Marius :tu:  I like both utility and pruner blades, but I think they're a bit much when it makes for 3 blades on a 2 layer SAK.  Still freakin' cool looking though, and I would get one if I could spare the $$ and didn't have other things I wanted first :tu:

Add a pair of factory mounted scissors in the middle and it would be the absolutely perfect SAK for me. Well, plus deleting the ring :D

I have a vintage old cross one with brass liners.

While I like that little utility blade quite a lot, I miss the Phillips more, so the Soldier or Pioneer is a more well-rounded knife, in my opinion.

My favorite combo would be a Pioneer with a scissors and file added. Maybe just the scissors. Skip the saw, for a change. ;)

These are my three Electricians two Vic's and a Camillus TL 29 I saved from a rusty toolbox at the flea market.



A few months I changed all plugs and switches in my condo. I did a few plugs with 84mm Electrician. It striped and bent fine but slow. The Phillips screwdriver was a pain. This is my go to setup.
