What about adapting one of these? They are quite small in all dimensions.
I have used the ballpoint pen version for several years, that's excellent.

Wow! Those look great! Pretty cool to have as an EDC item.

Got this one in the works.
Still waiting for the carbon fiber scales to arrive.
The liners will also be replaced by red G20 and carbon fiber.(Image removed from quote.)

(G20?! :facepalm: I, obviously meant G10 but, as usual, the auto correct got in the way! )
Here it is! My custom Yeoman!
Carbon fiber scales and inner liners, red G10 outer liners.
I'm very happy with how it came out!
I can totally see it being my daily driver for a good while!!

Great mod FInixNOver - love the red accents.  :tu:

I did a basic 5-layer build today using a few spares I had left over. Calling it the Detective. An Explorer with pliers.

Looks like it could be worth a look! I have a make shift solution but one that actually propels the lead would be much better....I’ll get some measurements and see if we can make it work.

Wow! It's just  :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

How much cooller would it be with G20 liners!

Thanks Santos!

Is G20 even a thing? I'm guessing, at least, double the coolness!

Looking really great there with the colours and the peening. If I would dare suggest anything it would be to have the cross either cut through to show the red liner or to embed a bit of the same G10 in the cross to really make it stand out.

Something like this?
Did it this morning! Great minds, I guess...
It's epoxy with red nail polish. Not great, but good enough!

After some practicing on old used SAKs, this is my first ‘real’ mod. A Victorinox compact. I changed the scales with green micarta scales, changed the liners to brass, etched and stone washed the tools. I am quite happy with how this turned out.

Beautiful mod Jellyfists  :tu:

That's a lot of work, I've done brass scales but I'm still to dive into recreating the liners in brass. And the micarta scales really suit to the overall look. Did you mask the tool pivot areas before etching?

Thank you!
Brass liners were a first for me as well. I figured I’d just go for it with my Dremel and a metal file. After that I sanded the edges and polished them. It was a lot of work, but much easier than I thought.
The micarta scales I got on Etsy.
I did mask the tool pivot areas before etching. One of the things I learned when tinkering with the older SAKs I practiced on, was which areas I did, and which I didn’t have to mask.

 :tu: great work. It's not worth me ordering scales due to the shipping costs, but I have made a few myself from brass, stag and buffalo horn. I've kinda come full circle as I tend to now stay with OEM scales, but mod the layers.

Funny, I recently made the exact same tool selection, just ordered the layers differently (and obviously with the more ordinary silver scales).

The liners, I made them. The scales were bought from a fellow modder, here in Portugal.
