Tron - SAK Cyber Champion Mod

[Toolslinger]

So, I liked the idea of the Champion. A Swiss Champ without pliers? Sounds good to me.

Then I got thinking. What if it had the Cyber Tool bit driver layer instead of the philips/mag glass?

I need Robertson bits on a regular basis (light duty) and this is what usually prevents me from carrying just a SAK. Since I had already found 4mm Robertson #1 and #2 bits in a bit set at my local hardware store, adding them to my Cyber Tool equipped SAKs was a no-brainer. I just added a small piece of metal duct tape to the bit to improve retention and I was set.

Now all I needed to do was build the SAK.

So I grabbed my donors, tools and a brew and got to work building my latest mod. Everything went fairly smoothly as I've got a number of these under my belt now (some documented here on the forum).

As usual, I managed to cut myself while building it. This is a theme for every SAK I've built. They bite me somehow during deconstruction/reconstruction. It's never with the blade, usually a liner edge.

After finishing the construction, I needed to come up with a name. Every good mod has one.

Sometimes it's easy to decide as it's an existing model or tweak to one. That was kind of the case here. Champion with Cyber Tool layer, Cyber Champion. Done, right? Not quite.

As I sat pondering what scales to give the creation, I remembered a character from a movie of the same name: Tron. He's a Cyber Champion who fights for the user. Now I had the perfect name!

Tron the Cyber Champion!

The only thing I would like to add would be a blue plus back scale. Then the colors would match the movie. Alas, I do not have any blue plus scales in  my inventory for now. So as it stands, he is dressed in black.

That is a great-looking knife. That is the knife I would carry if I had any skill at all at modding SAKs.

Question what backside tool if any would have to go if you removed the scaler

None. The fish scaler has no backside tool.

If it is I am gone on a hunt for one I never really paid much attention to the Cybertool line

Told you I was a LM fan boy and I know a bit about SAKs but not as much as most of you

  Maybe it was Ebay instead of my dreams then

[magentus]

  Easy way to find out is - was there a 'buy it now' option in your dream? If so, it was ebay.

Ct41 has pliers, Toolslinger's Cyber Champ doesn't.  Easy mod to do though, poncho.

That's what was different I just went and looked it up and saw the pliers on the 41, don't want pliers either mags

[Poncho65]

I think an older Champion would fit the bill as well for me but I love the idea of the bit driver

[Toolslinger]

It's an easy mod. Get a CT41 donor and do a reduction mod to remove the pliers.

There is enough pin stock in a 41 that you can do the whole mod without needing to get brass for pins (if you are careful removing the original ones).

Then you'd have a CT38.

Guess I need to get a CT 41 then I have never taken a SAK apart and frankly it scares me to will really have to comb through threads (which I like to do anyways ) for all the help I am gonna need
