93mm with small blade?

I'm looking to add a small blade and a can opener as an additional layer to my configuration but I'm not having much luck finding a backspring that will work with the two. The small blade doesn't quite touch the spring which causes it to practically disappear when closed and gives it a ton of blade play when open. It's bad enough that the nail nick is on the wrong side but with the blade so far down below the scale it's dang near impossible to get it open. lol

Looking for a recommendation on getting a much better fit with this thing.

Vic makes a hawkbill shaped pruning blade that fits across from the main blade, and the cap lifter (no confirmation on if those two pruning blades have the same pivot shape, but I believe they do.) You might be able to get a hold of one of those, and reshape the hawkbill blade with a Dremel into a pen blade.

Syph007 gets them onto 93mms somehow, maybe try PMIng him about it.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come around. Good luck with your mod!

Thanks for the help. I think I already PM Bob too much so I was trying to give him a break. lol

Syph used a small blade and can opener with a thin washer in place of a mag glass opposite a phillips in a 93mm build he did for me... Don't know what if any modification was needed to tools or springs. May be one to try, though.

Thank you. I'll definitely be looking into the spring the mag glass uses. I'm also going to holler at Bob and see if he minds answering this one for me as well.
