Just enough pressure to get the hammer action to kick in, but not enough to bend the pin. A perfectly pre-peened pin in seconds WE DEMAND A VIDEO!

Hear, hear! -----------------------I was referring to a 91mm metal saw earlier; I know 84mm ones are hard to find. Besides, newer ones are better I'm probably too late for this but what if you turned the pruner balde to a wharncliffe, a sheepsfoot or a bevel point? More function then. It was your preference of cellidor that I recalled, then.Now you've got me thinking about a mod I had in mind... Will you be modding a Wenger next by any chance?
No video I was thinking of a Vic/Wenger frankenmod. I wonder if you could offer some insight on Wenger entrails once you got it open.But that's not for now. You're tackling the first project yet.
I really can't believe how well that works. They've actually slightly "over peened" and don't quite seat in the bushings, so I'm just tickling them up with a file. It actually gives a nice domed and burnished finish.Alox modders take note!

I gave up on peening alox after that try. As for pre peening I dont bother any more just put the rods through, cut to lenght and pen both ends.
Very nice Al
Great work
I think thats gotta be the most tools on an 84mm mod Ive ever seen. Excellent job!

I so envy you folks that have the skill to mod these SAKs. As SAKs are one of my favorite things, I like them even more for the fact they can be customized with so many different parts/implements as I like to call them. I've pondered over what would make my perfect SAK and it changes almost daily. Currently, I am quite content with the Swisschamp, but would actually like to add a pruner blade and electrician blade to it, along with possibly some other implements. I think the SAK I really want is the XLT (correct me if I'm wrong), the one the adds the pruner, elec. blade, and cyber tool. Anyhow, whenever I see a mod like this it gets the gears turning in my head and if I could afford the overhead, I might even get into modding myself!

Excellent job!Thank you Coming from a professional modder, that means a lot Its hard to think of what else you'd be able to add. Pliers would be kind of impossible to add on an 84, so the only other thing you could go for would probably be a metal file/saw. It would work on the wood saw backspring, but youd have to shorten it to fit.I stopped working on 84s as it was much more difficult than any other size to work on. I still get alot of requests though for cadets with scissors, so someday I'll get back to working on that size.

Not a job for at the kitchen table though It would have been nice to have the metal saw in there too, but that might have been one tool too many. At the minute it's a very good size and weight, and isn't too unwieldy or obtrusive.I was actually walking around earlier and thought to myself you can't actually tell it's in the pocket.... then I realised it wasn't even in my pocket
I carried it for half an hour before I realised I forgot something Mini-driver for the corkscrew Now sorted A quick count up of the features:Full sized plain bladeFull sized serrated bladeScissorsWood saw CorkscrewNail fileInline awlPhillips driverLarge flat blade driverSmall flat blade driverEyeglasses precision driverCan opener.... untested Cap lifterWire benderToothpickTweezers
Mega84 v1 is complete and operational
I can picture you at your kitchen table, stuffed to the gills, unhappily eating tuna fish, beans, peaches and spaghetti-Os so as not to let them go to waste
