Swapped the can opener of the X with the sheepsfoot blade, and ended up with the Pioneer Electrician X, and a Pioneer.Then I added a pocket clip to it.Now I had to disassemble all 3, to get all the parts I needed for the final SAK (don't have a name for it yet).I ended up with the 5 layer SAK I wanted, a single layer SAK, and a few leftover parts.5 Layer SAK:Layer 1Main blade / awlLayer 2Wood sawLayer 3ScissorsLayer 4Sheepsfoot blade / Hawkbill bladeLayer 5Can opener / Bottle openerFor the fourth layer, I had to use the spring from a main blade layer and also the awl spacer (since the spring is thicker), to make it work, otherwise I could have built 2 single layer SAK's.Single Layer SAK (still have to peen it - you can see it in the leftovers picture):Layer 1Main blade / awlLeftovers:2 openers layer springs1 spacer1 set of scales1 Main blade1 Awl2 Bottle openersWell, I wasn't completely happy with the fact that there were to many parts leftover (which could potentially be used to build another SAK) from assembling this SAK, and decided to take it apart again, and try to fit the layer 4 (Sheepsfoot blade / Hawkbill blade) with the openers backspring.It was going well, and seemed it would work until the SAK was peened together... the backspring didn't provide enough tension for one of the blades.This left me with a tough choice to make. Would I rebuild it back the way it was, or take, yet, another approach?You know it! It required a bit of bending of the Hawkbill blade, and loosing the awl, but it turned out awlright!! I now have a 4 layer Alox SAK, which is now thinner and lighter (111g / 3.9oz), and was able to put together a Solo variation with awl, and a Pioneer.Current Layout:Layer 1Main blade / Hawkbill bladeLayer 2Wood sawLayer 3ScissorsLayer 4Sheepsfoot blade / Bottle opener

Not really a SAK mod... but a simple mod to the mini sd... A friend did this and I wanted to try it myself just out of curiosity... An LM mini/eye glass bit replaced the standard one...(Image removed from quote.)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice Crackout - Is that a Vic 75mm but with some Wenger parts
I just pulled it using regular pliers... yes it is reversible...
Quote from: jaya_man on September 15, 2017, 06:55:09 PMI just pulled it using regular pliers... yes it is reversible... No heat or anything, just pull. Oh my... I think I've got spares of all of that.
