No I don't think so.

I was lamenting just this morning as I was uploading the XAVT tool sheet to the wiki about this very thing.  The SwissChamp XAVT has two Fine Screwdrivers, and two hooks, but it is not complete because it only has the inline Phillips.  I thought that given the prominence of the backside Phillips it would have been really cool if they had found a way to include both it and the Corkscrew in the one knife.  Alas, this appears a challenge for another day.

Probably possible, just make the back spring next to it recess a bit, but not likely to be done since it's kinda pointless from practical point of view.

...from practical point of view.  Ya but looking at it that way you could argue the entire XAVT is kind of pointless... but I'm glad they made it!

Since both back-mounted Phillips and Corkscrew are designed to fit at the main blade layer and use the cut-out in the back scale, it seems to be impossible to have both at the same time.
Models that do offer both tools use the end-mounted Phillips tool and corkscrew at the back, which is generally accepted to be a better arrangement.

Yes, but XAVT is simply slapped together from existing parts, to include both would need a entirely new back spring, the engineering and set up/production cost probably would push up the price quite a bit.

How did wenger giant do it thou?

If they're mounted on the far ends of the knife, they'd be able to do it, especially if the backspring tools were placed on their own blade layers; really, they could have simply used the liners meant for just one side on both, and make a reversed cutout scale for it. :)

The XAVT though has the latest electronic scales rev., and no cut out room on that one.  They could do it on another knife though.

Its trickier than you think.  Spork assembled one as a see if you can experiment but never peened it as it needed a huge pile of liners in the middle of the knife.
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

I think if some one made one it would look like this.

I think Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency.

I'm sorry but i could not stop myself. That is my frist almost SAK. Not a bad knife for five dollars it has been my guinea pig i used it to try my pocket clip mod and to try every sharpener i have ever bought (it is very sharp). This knife has been to hell and back and is still hanging in there.

Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!   Hmmm someone has picked up a new title?

Interesting concept, what would work well in the layer on the other side?  Maybe Pliers, or bit driver since it uses smaller bit sizes?

WHAT! Neil, you know that I'd never normally agree with Ben, ;) but just this once I gotta back the man up.  Marmite is the food of Titans and everyone should be forced to eat it until they see the light.
