Nice combo - I think red liners rock

I don't have a name for it. It's a Wenger with the basic tools I want for backpacking. No can opener/bottle opener layer, locking blade with no corkscrew on the other side (that was the difficult part), smooth back.

Wow cool!

After finally getting hold of a red Farmer, now I don't want to EDC it, I think it will become a "fondler" you know... hand candy for watching TV.

Anyway, I did pick up a red Pioneer settler with very used blades and a plain vanilla "like new" Farmer with engraved scales recently. Still had a Solo spring kicking around so I threw them all in a shoebox along with a pair of 91mm scissors and gave it a good shake...

(Image removed from quote.)

I know the saw is "backwards" to normal along with the scissors, but i want to try it that way
I may swap it round at some later stage. Also the layer order may get changed... but I'm happy with it for now, it's a nice "Vintage" looking user with all new tools.

I know what you mean about not edcing the old white cross red alox, my three pioneers cleaned up very nicely, but I am fear to carry them. They are old and deserve some rest. Instead, a new bail removed SI and new farmer are in the rotation until a few "promoted" cadets come in. :p

Ok I present my first ever sak build. It is a brass scaled Rogue, or as I have been referring to it ( inferior Syph knock off). Everything has snap on closing apart from the scissors, but for my use it is fine. Now just trying to find more 58mm for donors.

It seems folks are already forgetting the old timers such as Bushido around these parts...

:p

Nice mod!

Certainly not forgetting Bushido I remember drooling over his stuff. However at the time I could never think of doing anything like it. Its only recent that I have thought to give it ago myself.
Glad you like my stuff. It is getting better however still a long way to go to Bushido/ Syph standards.

You can go further back to the wonders from the mind of Neil, and of course Scibeer who was probably one of the first to really SAK hack in style

I think all of them contributed to something which has evolved in to a great resource for personalised tools

mkIII The "Chicken" done right. (big Bantam, remember...)

Pioneer blade layer with combo tool replacing awl.
With the mkII which is welded up pioneer scales drilled to take an Explorer mag/Phillips spring with Florist blade and caplifter. The mkII is ugly but functional, I kinda like it, but the mkIII is nice and pretty, I'd take it anywhere.
It makes a fairly good minimalist SAK but still has a decent tough blade.

I made up a punch to finish the pins nicely... I think it does a good job

... and Yes, that combo-tool is a bit of a nail breaker to get open with the pioneer spring's snap.

You know that is right. I went thru the mod squad posts from the beginning and it is interesting to see the development and the key players coming in and out. Great stuff!

So the wife took the kids to the monster in laws on Friday. I decided to clean the garage work bench. In doing so I found some hard wood off cuts from project gone by. Having some rally's and classics in pieces, well it seemed rude not to.

Those look nice Mark,

What wood did you use? Walnut bottom left?

Farmman · **Reply #2749 on:** April 08, 2013, 08:01:21 AM

The walnut one is top right, the other two are cocobolo.

Think it has more to do with camera angle than your eye mate.

Charming cocobolo on the top, Farmman

My last is Hunter/Tradesman Hybrid

And this is my Junior QC Manager

The result is: knife is OK and I have a tasty lubricating oil

Haha! I have a 2 yr old who likes to inspect my work as well.

At first I would jump up if he grabbed a SAK, but really it is quite impossible for him to open any tool. He just likes to hold them, and sometimes walk off and hide them. I found one in the refrigerator once.
