If adding in scissors I would suggest trying the ones from the PST II or old style Wave, they would seem to go better with the Crunch as it is an old school LM as well
PST II scissors won’t work, apart from the width the tab on the scissors handle would cover the plier head cut out. You could add an awl.

Thanks for your reply and web side to look at Like the v cutter but looks to big?I didn't see a saw/ file holder like the surge has got, I do like that option
A possible alternative might be to remove the blade, move the file to where the blade was, remove the lanyard loop, and insert in the original spot for the file and lanyard loop a pair of new generation Wave scissors - these are two instead of three pieces. From an eyeball measurement I think that might just fit, IF you take almost the entire thumb tab off. You'd have to round the corresponding area off to serve as thumb tab and I am not sure this will be satisfactory. OTOH this should be a straight drop in pivot-wise.As you noticed, the Crunch is a marvel of engineering and does not have a lot of unused space...
