Show off your Sak mod's!

[Mr. Blonde]

Ok, here are my first two mods. The build of the first one can be already seen in this thread:http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,47204.msg773180.html#msg773180
Maybe i´ll ad the build of my new mod later.

I have no real name for the one with the Elinox front scale. But i think, i´ll call my new mod the "Proto-Troubleshooter". All the tools where made before ´86 or weren´t changed in ´86. The backside Phillips is even older. The Pliers are the very first version, made only ´86-´87 (2,5mm). So all the tools predate the actual Troubleshooter. As a personal note, i put on the back an old economy scale, since i like tweezers, but not the toothpick.

No. 1:





No. 2:






btw: I only use non rare or very beaten or broken saks for my mods.

Ah, a big Bantam...  I maintain that this configuration should be called a Chicken,  because by definition a Bantam is a small Chicken...

I have a "Chicken", it's a great slim carry SAK. All the "decent blade" advantage of a Solo but the added functionality of the combo tool.

Hey boy, I say boy, look at here, "Aaaaaahhhhh, shuuutupp!!"
That chicken knife of your is to thin, I wouldn't be able to carry that, it's gotta have some meat to it, even my cadet I think is too thin.. JR

Peened a 58mm liner only to attach scale tools, oriented the light and pen opposite each other to avoid accidently pressing the light button which was a little startling a few times on my regular Sig. Lite.

Any combination of scale tools will work, I also made one with a pen and toothpick I call the 'Waiter, Check Please!'

Maybe a custom brass liner protruding enough for a KR attach would be nice too. I'm not a seasoned pro modder yet, so that will have to wait...

Hey, that's pretty slick.

Now that's something I haven't seen before, very cool.

I haven't either, maybe I need to search the mod archives. Idea occurred to me while peening a 91mm and wondering how slim it could be...

108mm ICAR GAK + 108mm Victorinox Solo + 91mm Climber + custom Camo scales = some kind of Super GAK

[Syph007]

ahhh a 108mm solo spring for the scissors... makes sense.  Is there enough room opposite the scissors to stick another tool since the scissors are shorter than the frame?

Not sure of the feasibility of that. All the springs are single ended and the lanyard hole goes through the springs and liners as well.

I guess there is the possibility of cutting the end of the spring down and shaping a pad on the end.
But it would be a very short tool... there is barely 10mm to spare.

It was just a thought.  It would break the all tools open from the same end rule the 108s have anyhow.

Nice! Maybe it's a Jeager, german Huntsman? Jeagersmann? Weidmann?

[ducttapetech]

That is a cool mod! I like it.

I like this knife, though I don't like the 108mm Saw/Opener/file combo. 

But if you don't want to out yourself as an american, that's Jäger (or Jaeger, if you have something agains umlauts) or Waidmann (but that's old-fashioned). 
And though this sounded sarcastic, good job ironraven! I know some germans that would write Waidmann wrong (in fact there is a discussion on wikipedia atm) and I can tolerate the ea/ae confusion.

Hey Twilter - That's pretty funny and neat!
But it ought to be called the 'Swiss Army'

Why?
Obvious - It's a Swiss Army Knife without the knife 

[Reinier]

Yes there has been a 91mm zero layer mod before. But yours is also pretty cool! I like the idea

Thanks R!, I would like to see the zero layer 91mm, I was just thinking about the gaping hole the CS/phillips cutout would be if left empty, so I gave up on the idea.

@Syph-- I was thinking how cool your machined 58mm T&T layer would be with an LED and retractable pen. Scale tool perfection I think (flight friendly too!) 

[lowtech]

you could always use 2 top layers - I guess you´d need to glue one on beacuase of the misplaced holes, but maybe if you find an old solid one you could drill the indents for a press fit.

Hey I got a question,, what if you made a 108 blank back spring, but cut it out to the 91 inner size? This way the scissors would have something to rest against, and there also wouldn't be a large gap at the end? Just a thought,, JR

That might work, but two sets of tweezers wouldn't do me much good, I barely use them as it is. Maybe an 84mm modified to accept more scale tools?
