I've been thinking of a 84mm equivalent of fielmaster (once seen in the wild under the name of artisan?). So scissors, saw and philps from 84 mm donor. If I understand correctly there are no 84 mm scissors? How hard is it to get a 84 mm sak that has them on ebay and what prices can I expect?The rest of the tools are currently in the 84 lineup If I am not mistaken?Also, do plus scales exist for 84 mm models?Is it harder to peen 84 mm models compared to 91 mm ones?That's it for now...
What about Wenger 85mm scissors? Not for the Victorinox Scissor snobs but it might be feasible. I know the subject has been broached before and there is a Wenger Giant on the "For Sale" Thread, just sayin'.
Hm, so as long as I can get hold of a scissors I should be able to do it. Then all I need is a 84mm tinker and some brass stock with appropriate diameters. That should not be a problem. The ebay seems to be lousy with them. Now what about plus scales? I think I saw something like that. Either someone made them or they actually exist.

He said that they weren't a mod, and that he would get more if he finds them.

Now I must look up what diameter brass rods I need and I am good to go.Ps: I just realized, there is no saw in the 84mm tinker. I have no idea why I thought there was one. Well, so I need to find another 84mm sak with a saw.

Well, so I need to find another 84mm sak with a saw. All 2.25mm... But that size rod is rarer than hens teeth. 2.2mm is more common and works good. If you can't find any (like me ) you can stick some larger brass rod in a drill and file it down, repeatedly test fitting... Use 3/32" (or 2.5mm, but 3/32" is easier) for this.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThe 84mm models with saw in production are the walker and my first Victorinox plus, right? The lumberjack is discontinued.
I've received my first victorinox sak so now the saw is mine. And the long wait for the golfer to come from USA begins...Ps: Are such trivial updates considered spamming and is there a forum badge I can get for it?
