Wooow, now it's really cool and functional! I'm dying for a small tool with pliers, AND knife AND scissors.

Nice work Zoidberg  :tu:

Gerber Dime  :pok: :D The package opener is very useful too, and it's got one of the best bottle openers of any of the small tools IMHO

Another excellent option would be a Classic/Rambler/Manager with an IDL T5 or T7 for pliers and drivers - two tools instead of one, but an excellent toolset  :tu:

Love the word "moditated". I think I'm going to use it a lot. :cheers:

Did you just raise the plastic scale on the pivot part or repin it at the bottle opener too? Can you still store the toothpick in the designated spot?

I had to remove the toothpick tweezer standoffs to get the scissors in.
Then I whittled and sanded a bit so that the pivot and pin stayed where they were meant to be.
The middle was left thicker which gives a nice curve to match the folded metal on the other side.
The tweezers can sit beside the knife.
Both the knife and nail file can be used as normal without them falling out.
You do have to open the nail file to get them out so they won't be lost.
If I shortened them by a cm or so they would be able to fit in their slot ok.

Been using it solid for a week now. It is good, enough to replace the Micra.

However, I've been looking at the PS4 chassis and think I may do something with that.
I'll need to locate another PS4 or two for donors though so it might not be done for a bit.

Turns out Metro has done a very similar thing to what I was thinking bout.
So I have decided to change it up a little and try with whats already here.
I'm not too sure how it will work, but I do have a couple hints for you all...

Where is this heading, Zoidberg?

From what i see, you are removing the carabiner Portion (Making the Mini-Skeletool Silouhette into a Freestyle one)
And you added tha blade to have both blade and file?!

Looks like you'll be combining the CS and Ps into one tool, right?

and, yes, ... :popcorn:

Yes, I'm attempting to merge the CS and PS4.
Keeping the carabiner, CS scissors and PS4 pliers.
On the PS4 side there will be room for one long or two short tools.
I'll try to make an extra small screwdriver like from the Micra out of the CS knife blade.
Given that it already has a couple holes it can double as a sewing punch.

Test fit pics.
You can see in the fourth pic there is an issue with clearance.
Due to the length of the fasteners I can't just add a layer.
One option is to file the heads down after the final assembly.
Another might be to reverse the plier side, haven't tried it yet though.
Not too sure which way I want the extra small screwdriver/awl to open.
Advice, comments, ideas etc all welcome.

It doesn't look as good with the plier side reversed, but there is clearance.
