Pruning blade mod.?

[ogrdnet]

I just picked up a Huntsman which I was hoping to mod by replacing (maybe) the bottle cap lifter with a pruning blade.  My question however is where I can find said blade?

Try looking for an Alox Pruner or Harvester... The pivot holes on the pruning blade will have to be reduced to 2.5mm in order to fit the Huntsman

The pivot hole size difference wont matter, the .5mm difference is negligible.

I know that the pruner blade will fit in place of the small blade on 91mm models. It fits in the can opener slot on 93mm models, and might work there on the 91mm models too.  No idea about the bottle opener slot

On a separate note, does the magnifying glass have to have the philips screwdriver across, or will other tools fit?

Syph used to do a 93mm mod with both the cap lifter and can opener opposite the Philps, so perhaps those two could also go opposite the magnifying glass?

They don't fit on the 91mm frame without some grinding down at the ends

This is some good stuff I am wanting to get an inline awl and now either the pruner blade or the electrician blade in lieu of the can opener

The electrician blade is probably more versatile, though the pruner will be useful for opening clamshell packaging and peeling oranges, as well as pruning, obviously!

I've got a pruner knife here, the 100mm single blade type fromt he "hoticultural knives" line from Vic.

It seems bigger than the 93mm pruner blade...micrometer says 2.01mm tang thickness...

Old style 91mm main blade (without the spacer built into the outer liner) says 2.43mm, pen blade on same 91mm knife says 1.48mm

So it seems like I could put the 100mm knife pruning blade in place of the MAIN blade (This pruning blade is offset as if to allow for a small blade on the other end).
I'd need a .42mm spacer though. 

Cap lifter layer reads as 2.0mm

So..perhaps the pruning blade from the dedicated 100mm Pruning Knife would work in the place of the cap lifter OR can opener, but would take up the entire layer...

That's a pretty interesting idea. I think it might work on replacing a thinner new blade, depending on the shape of the spring.
