This is a Victorinox special run for Swiss Bianco. I really like this configuration.

Me too.
I was looking forward to take away the light of the cybertool and replace it with something more useful, like the philips or an hex key. Now I see the philips is the best choice.

Can you show the top view of the SAK? I want to see how thick it is.

ICanFixThat · **Reply #3 on:** September 22, 2011, 03:29:56 PM

OOPS!! I meant to post this to the Swiss Forum... maybe a mod can move it.

I can do other pictures later this evening.

Do you have cybertool 34 to do a comparision photo shoot with?

Is that a first issue of Dr. Dobbs I see? Where did you get that? That's awesome!

Gotta say I'm in 2 minds here...On one hand I really like the look of this SAK.But on the other hand Swiss Bianco are gonna charge a Smurfing awful price for some thing that could be modded quite easily.

I like the standard cap lifter better. That and if I have a CT on my belt the #2 phillips is in the socket, so I wouldn't need the dedicated phillips.

I agree, but what to put oposite of magnifying lens other than inline philips or LED light??

Also I like the cap lifter from Wenger Soldier, the one with chisel grinded inside... Very usefull IMHO...

Thinking of it, maybe inline philips could be grinded to awl??

Just looked up the price, apparently $124 (not sure about shipping).
That's roughly what it'd cost to buy a new Explorer, Compact and CT as donors and then pay for the mod. I'm basing that on online SAK costs in the UK.
So if if its exactly the tool set you need then its not an awful price for a limited run item.

I'm a little disappointed at the limited number of bits available for the CT's socket driver and for that reason I have avoided buying a CT. I prefer the dedicated Phillips also.

I'll just say this - I'm going to buy one of these, because it's 91mm and Vic made it, so in the interest of completeness I'll get one.

But IMO, as a user/EDC, it's not a great design. The mag/Phillips layer + Cybertool layer is a bit redundant, which to me the opposite of what you want in something like this. Especially if you've made the choice to go with the combo tool. Combo tool knives should be as thin as possible for maximum carry-ability. Main blade/combo, Cybertool, scissors - that would be a great combo and no wider than an Explorer.

The price is pretty out there too, but I wonder how much of that is SwissBianco. He has two other "Yeoman" knives this month - a regular Yeoman ($62) and Yeoman Mechanic ($70). Those are expensive but not obscenely so for custom runs. Hell, they're a lot cheaper than those $125-$200 custom alox runs that keep coming out all the time, and I'll wager that a Yeoman Mechanic costs more to produce than a regular old Pioneer with different color scales. So is he just trying to make extra profit on this particular one or is his cost really that much higher on the Cyber Yeoman that his selling price has to be that much higher? I actually suspect the latter. Victorinox seems to have a thing with pricing the Cyber knives pretty high.

Here it is next to a Cybertool 34.

Mercury · **Reply #13 on:** September 24, 2011, 05:33:27 AM

They need to remove the phillips/magnifier layer and replace it with scissors. THAT I would buy.

Absolutely!! CT29+scissors would be awesome!!

Mercury · **Reply #15 on:** September 24, 2011, 07:39:43 PM

Yea! I really want one of those. Anyone care to make a limited run of CT29/scissor mods?

If its all the same to yourselves,I'd go for the 34,but swap the pliers for the metal file...

Just to be difficult

Or 41 and take out pliers and put in fish cleaner tool...

CT25

ICanFixThat · **Reply #20 on:** September 26, 2011, 11:04:22 PM

Nice! I've got the same combination, or very similar, that was made by Dennis if I'm not mistaken.

Not sure how you arrived at "25" though in Cybertool-25

Base: 29
Remove: small Blade, Canopener, small driver, Cap-lifter, Larger driver (-5)
Add: combo-opener/driver ((+3)), Scissors, Hook (+5)

That makes it a CyberTool-29-Slim or if you got the hook with the nail file on it like mine, that would make it a Cybertool-30 ...

Hopefully my math is correct.

Rahmed · **Reply #21 on:** September 26, 2011, 11:21:54 PM

I can fix that

... there is no awl/reamer and a pen, together 4 functions

ICanFixThat · **Reply #22 on:** September 28, 2011, 05:04:15 AM

Nice!

Mercury · **Reply #23 on:** September 28, 2011, 05:42:22 AM

That is a dream SAK. If I could afford the parts I would make one. Problem is I don't have a very good setup for peening rivets so my mods come out bent.
