Thank you very much! Yes, they work sort of fine. The pivot ocurs to be a bit weak, as after some use it started to wear out and now there's a bit play in it. Between the double layered scales (the pliers) I had added a detent-ball to secure the closed-position. This is a bit too strong, so you need quite some force to open the pliers. It is a prototype so I ought to create some advanced models.;o)Best regards
Welcome aboard! Pretty cool and unusual mod. Here's an idea: have you thought of having the plier straight, along the knife, and not at a 90º angle? Maybe it'll be easier to carry/store and use?
the idea is good, the realization is nice but I do not see the specific use? victorinox clamp and thinner layers
Yes, I agree with you, but in that case the pliers would interfere with using the Vic tools on that end. That's why I chose the 90 degree angle. And accepted that the tool looks like a fat penguin ...
So stupid of me! Quite right, didn't remember SAKs have tools coming out of every which way! (Image removed from quote.)
Don't worry, nobody is so stupid that he couldn't find someone even more stupid who understands him! Ask me how I know that the 90 degree thing works better!
This one is a bit more sophisticated (prototype), with handle scales made of herdened steel. On one side, the scales are double layered and act as pliers.
Is it possible to put an awl on the backside of a wood saw? What kind of spine do you need to use? I got a compact and I want to switch out the corkscrew for a Philips, but I’d also not mind to add a wood saw, I saw a hiker which has both but also a awl which would make it absolutely perfect but it looks like it goes to the backside of the openers? So I’d get the saw and Philips but just wouldn’t be able to add the awl,, any info would be appreciated..JR
Thanks! Christmas is done…so time to butcher some of the LED strings! Just buttoned this up. Stupid name, but for now, Huntsman Lite-Lite.
Ok but what backspring do I need to work?JR
That is so cool! Could you call it a Huntsman Extra Lite?After all, it does have an extra light. Great project. I look forward to seeing more.
Anyone know where I can get just the couple parts rather then ordering like two whole diff sak’s?JR
Thanks for the suggestion and I’ll have more sooner than later. […]
I’ve seen loose parts and springs on the ‘bay
Extra lights on your Extra Lite? Or extra “Extra Lites”?
