The PX is has a minimal toolset. I'm used to the Swiss champ XLT and especially its bit driver.

Do you already know which tools you want to use for your next mod kamakiri?

I think it'll be a yeoman with the light swapped for the magnifier and try to fit an old/long phillips. Reverse the combo to the main blade side (again) and keep the small blade or use a hawksbill pruner. Three scale tools in the back and use a thinner old no tool front scale. File on the hook. Might go to 0.5mm nickel silver liners to save thickness and add some heft. Shave the corkscrew and main spring to delete the birdhead spacers...or use a shaved Rogue flathead combo tool.

Shame to see you go, but I can understand when it just isn’t meeting your needs.
:cheers: Thanks Sos, for your understanding and for getting me to finally try it out!

:iagree: that’s a shame kamakiri  :tu:

 :cheers: Thanks Wspeed. I still want a blue one like you and Sos have...and it might be part of getting me to mod something 93mm.

I'm out of the challenge...

I found myself going to the Troublemaker too often.  I am glad I tried the PX for a bit. Its specific shortcomings for me over the last two weeks are helping me decide what's going into my next 'thin' mod build.

Yeah I dropped out after day 12. It’s nothing against the PX, I love it!!  But I wanted to experiment with a few other SAKs. Trying to figure out the tools I really need and want and make a custom. Right now I’m carrying my Explorer. Thinking of adding inline awl from 93mm, in place of smalle blade. And adding the long file from my Mountaineer.

Can't say I love my PX yet, but I really like the way it feels in hand and the way it looks. Blue would be even better.

Sounds like a good mod.  :tu: And so far, the challenges have helped me really see what I use.

I probably need to find/observe more uses for the inline awl.  I've gone 35 years using SAKs without one, and I don't intuitively know what else to use it for over a backside awl.  And *if* I really need that function...the scissors can be used like an inline awl in a pinch. So I've never felt the need to add one to a 91mm with scissors. Works well enough for drywall and soft woods and anywhere the active part of the scissor won't really get in the way.

Cut the sticker from my pups birthday treat.

Here is him enjoying it.  He normally only gets the 6” ones, but for his birthday he gets a big one.

Day 19

Used it for opening the mail, which was some new paracord and hardware.
 
 It is for a new dog harness.  The hardware is also for a couple leashes once I figure out the colors.

I guess I know what some of the future use of the Pioneer X is going to be.

Used the reamer to cut the plastic wrap off my new flashlight


Used the scissors for cutting paracord while working on a dog harness


Also used the knife to cut some dog treats and the bottle opener for opening a few bottles.

Day 20

Yesterday was a very stressful day, full of distractions and annoyances, so although I used the Pioneer X for opening mail and while having dinner, I completetly forgot about taking and posting pictures. :facepalm: Here's a photo from early morning today, opening a milk carton.

Thanks wspeed.

Exeter great use.  I keep a Pioneer X in my kitchen for exactly those kind of uses.

Ulzhan - great use.  What was the beer out of curiosity?
