Ya I was out of nicer material and didn't have anything handy.  If the bubble wrap touches the Ti it will mark it so I needed to wrap in something. I've always underpackahed so if customs or someone curious looks in there it doesn't look like something expensive they will steal.

My wife started sewing little pouches of cloth that I use to ship in now though.

Nice. That adds a personal touch coming from you.  :like:

Can someone explain to me why the inline philips/cap lifter combo won’t work on a 91mm? I see others in this thread have asked before but the generic answer I’ve read is that the flathead and philips tips are too long. I tried it using the blade back spring and it seems like it would work if you shaved off the inner most round notch on the philips driver a little. What am I glaringly missing?

Phillips is too long and the pivot shape of each tool on a 91 is different.   93s are symmetrical so the springs can be reversed and each opener tool gets the correct spring end.  No way to do that on a 91 without major hacking to all the tools and springs.  I tried once and it wasnt worth the hassle.

Thank you Syph for clearing that up. Guess I’m sticking with the combo tool behind the main blade then. I’ve been reading this thread over the past couple weeks and have been admiring all your handiwork and ingenious ideas. Awesome work.

Since you’ve basically worked with all the available parts, do you know if the flat screwdriver (the one that goes on the back spring) can be retrofitted to work on the back spring that holds the scissors? It looks like a little rounding of the edges may give it the snap and fitting it needs. Like many on this thread who are following your work, I’m trying to make a custom SAK that incorporates only what I need for an urban environment - the flathead screwdriver is of greater use to me than the parcel hook.

Thanks again for your feedback it’s greatly appreciated.

Yes you can put the fine driver on back of scissors but it's alot of tweaking to work.  Round the pivot area, bend the scissors spring to give it more closing pressure and grind down the scissors rest area or the scissors will sit too high. That's what I do to fit the awl on back of scissors

Great thanks! It’s either that or keep the hook and add the saw/flat driver as another layer

Not enough room to fit any tool with scissors.  The main blade is bent to make it fit.  If you try to bend scissors similarly they will break.

I messed up my shoulder and was out of commission for a couple months.  Finally back at it with a mod that was very fiddly to assemble.  84mm Sportsman plus scissors, clip, drawer and timascus cross.  :D

Someone asked about modding one of the new vic lockblade kitchen knives.... New one to me but I think it would be a cool little tool repacked in Ti.  Now this plastic integral would not be something I could make as is, in Ti but I could make a set of scales and a spacer screwed together. 

It looks like it has a mini backspring embedded into the plastic but it's hard to tell.   They come in plain and serrated.

I've been either building saks or up at the land cutting trees into boards for the last 6 or so months.  Not much time for even relaxing and I'm way behind on my Netflix and movie watching.

I know real life is such a pain isn't it?   ???-

I've got lockdown, home schooling, paid employment, cooking, cleaning and DIY
All getting in the way of my true purpose in life - Wiki and MTo activities     ;)      :rofl:

What are you doing with all the boards? Sounds interesting  ...... and hard work !

I was just finishing up this sailor custom and since people seemed interested in assembly pics I tools a bunch during the test fit up. 

This is typically how I build them.  Lay the parts out from back to front and then assemble as I go.  There are actually 38 separate parts in this mod, each and every single one has had work done to it, not one stock part in the lot.  From tool pivot drilling, edge buffing, part reshaping, screw polishing, pivot cutting, drill and counter sinking scales and custom washer making.

I really like this mod. Is the backspring for the pliers custom made or is it possible to use it from the 91mm?

Didn't know they are making them in folder now. I have them as regular knives and love them. Those would make for great glamping knives.

I tried to capture the color better, but I just can't do it justice.  Anyway, here are a few shots from Saturday.

Beautiful knife you got there!! I really like this simple texture and the old cross design. Imagine a red anodized Ti scale, but I guess that’s not possible?  :drool: Im wonder why it’s a different screw near the knife tang though?
