If the tool were flat enough, it would go into waterproof pants pocket, but it's gotta be thin. 3 layer Alox or 2 layer cellidor sorta thickness.
Perhaps you could replace the outer liners on cellidor SAK with custom alox liners and peen directly into the liners without bushings, like an alox SAK? I don't no if anyone has ever done that...
You can't really do a straight scale swap from cellidor to standard alox scales. Alox scales are missing a pin. What people generally do is accomodate tools from 91mm cellidor SAKs so that they function on an alox SAK.Remember that alox scales are really just the outer liners - they are not separate scales like the cellidor. If you just pop the cellidor scales of a SAK, the outer liners you see there are comparable.Perhaps you could replace the outer liners on cellidor SAK with custom alox liners and peen directly into the liners without bushings, like an alox SAK?

Are any of you familiar with the work of Mike Yoh? He puts thin veneers on his SAKs, just thick enough to be level with the bushings...leaving them exposed.Mike Yoh
If I go with a cybertool layer, a file layer and a knife layer (with combo tool), can I finish that with custom aluminum "outer" liners (analogous to Alox scales). I'm pretty sure I can use the old scales for outline and an inner liner to accurately drill holes. I have a fiendishly clever plan for the scale material...
I built a Cyber-Compact once...not much savings in thickness over a Cybertool 27 and thicker than a Scientist.You can see in the photo that the bit-holder layer requires double liners.
