Let's find a name for this FrankenSAK!
on: June 30, 2018, 12:02:25 PM
Here's my latest SAK, a mod from Magentus, made from an Explorer. Slimmed down to three layers, but not a Yeoman, because the combo tool sits opposite to the magnifier, it has an 93 mm inline awl opposite the large blade, the corkscrew has been replaced with a Phillips, and the hook has the nailfile surface a la Compact/DofE.

It's "working title" was the quite fitting FrankenSAK, I also nicknamed it "Fauxman" because of the three layers and the combo tool, but I'm sure that you, my learned friends can come up with even better suggestions!

(No deadline, no prize at the end, but hopefully you'll have fun with it anyway.)

Question, could the bottle opener or can opener have gone opposite the magnifying glass?
Sweet mod!  :like:
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

Probably, but I have no idea, Mags will have to answer that, but I can add that the original idea was to pair the combo tool with a 84 mm nailfile (added small Phillips capability), but it didn't fit.

Since it's a black SAK: Black Panther, Black Sabbath, or Black Jack.  :salute:

I'll be thinking of a name, but my first impression is WOW!  Lots of utility packed into 3 layers.  :tu:  :like:

How about one of the following:

-The MAGSnifyer X (because of the scissors)
-Explorer X if Vic wants to adopt the name
-MAGSnifyer Plus (because of the scales)

Or just, Useful.

Nice mod, Mags.

Whatever you want to call it, it's the first time I see the slim 93 mm awl mounted opposite a 91 mm blade and I think it's just BRILLIANT !

This awl is the most notable feature, may i suggest Awlman ?

Well, it's definitely not my invention, others had mods like this before, but it's a neat idea, whoever came up with it first, that's for sure.

That is a nice SAK you came up with Magentus :tu:
Especially the 93 mm awl, makes it quite special, along with the rare-ish Phillips and combi tool...

Exeter, nice "find"!  About the name, I suggest the Imaginator. Various reasons: the magnifier transforms images, it took imagination to build it, and finally the builder's nickname is almost fully represented :D
Cheers!

Not to take anything away from Mags at all, as he did a very nice and diligent job building this knife (and another one), but the concept came from me. And I like the Imaginator, and there some other nice sugeestions too. Keep them coming! :)

How about "Exiter" ?

... as in "the one who exits the house every day with you because of its incredibly optimised toolset"?

Wow, Ronald, what an elegant idea, simple and concise! :salute:

Although I liked the other Ex-suggestions too, Examiner sounds pretty "legit" as a Vic model, Exiter has a nice ring to it as well (wonder why...), and even the Imaginator sounds pretty good. And the Awlmighty! :D I knew there will be many good ideas!  :like:

I still haven't decided, I'll give it a week, who knows what else others may come up with.

I almost forgot about this! I see there's no more takers, so after a week I'd like to thank all those who contributed, there were some really good and also some really funny suggestions.

The two standouts for me were the Examiner and the X-man, I can't even decide between the two, so the "official" model name will be Examiner from now on, but I'll keep the X-man as the permanent nickname. Great ideas an0nemus and Ron!  :salute:

Also let me just say thanks again to Mags for bulding this superb little mod for me!

Good choices!
I tried to find another good name a few times but nothing came to mind...
