A friend of mine asked for a slim 2-layer festooned with Phillips screwdrivers… et voilà…The micarta scales were a bonus. Any ideas for a name?
Hi gents,I've been lurking a bit, getting some tips together and finally have something to post.First up is a blade delete 91mm Tinker Deluxe. Initially, thought it would be a cool idea to have the opening layer in the middle, but the plier blocked access so had to be re-done. I wasn't happy with the peening on some of the tools on v2 and wanted to add the phillips/magnifier from an Explorer so that lead to v3 which is where we are now. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] Much happier with the peening and tension on the tools - the scissors will never be perfect as the back tool isn't the one it wants, but at least now they aren't flopping open by themselves .Second one is a 84mm Waiter/Walker hybrid. Plan for this one was to have something with a corkscrew/eyeglass screwdriver to leave in a jacket as needed. The saw was added after I took up whittling and wanted to take some branches whilst out on walks (a weak excuse, but was looking for a quick and fun mod). [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] Black/orange Plus sales on both from Taschenmesser. Next on the menu will be a cut down mini-champ. I'd like a jetsetter with nail file so would need to think about the 4th tool. As I haven't had my hands on a mini-champ just yet we'll have to wait and see how that one goes.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for sharing, those look great!
Top and bottom pics below. To keep the pressure on the saw blade I had to cut the hole end off of an old corkscrew and insert that in the back layer and then create a rest for the tip of the saw from an old 2.4mm main blade shown in pic below and in previous pics. Scales on now too!
You are bold. Good for you.
Found myself in a mod mood this evening and I can already tell you this one is going to irritate some for messing up a classic, but I just couldn’t resist. This is my Yeotimer. Has little of the old mixed with the new as far as tools.
Thanks for comments guys. I decided to tweak an 85 mm Victorinox “yeoman” mod I have today. Added keyring, old school corkscrew and tried something new, I rit dyed the magnifier black. Like the way it contrast with the Evogrip scales. What do you guys think?
I love the waiter/walker combo. I was thinking of doing this myself too.
