Very nice MiniChamps gents  :like:

I had a celidor one which resides in the missus purse since ages. I think it's her's now  :dunno:

I still got my alox one though which I carry often  :salute:

I gave the cutticle pusher thing a chisle style edge which I find very handy...

And the file tip became a little awl...

...which actually works...

Wishing you all a great weekend  :drink:

:cheers: Sir Ricardo!  I am too

Cool, Sir Barry Rowland!!!

I almost did my masters in english literature, researching Sherlock Holmes. Then, I was taken by Camões (Camoens) poetry. But I never stoped reading the Sherlock Holmes canon, etc.

I have a collection of A Study in Scarlet. Facsimilse from Beeton s Christas Annual and from the first impression in book, some editions from the 19th and early 20th centuries, annotated editions, apocrypha, Doyle s biographies and so on...

I used to search at The Baker Street Irregulars, at www.bakerstreetirregulars.com, before I change to Camões....

I have one in my collection. Don't carry it. Too bulky to pocket carry and too small to be useful for me. Tinkers rule!

"Too bulky" is always subjective...
The cellidor mini is as thick as the Tinker, and the alox mini is thinner than a Pioneer...  ;)

But then again i don't carry the 58mm on my keys any more, i carry them on my jeans small pocket

Got a mini champ and a rambler couple of weeks ago (couldn’t decide which one to get so got both). I just had to have the mini combo tool with small Phillip head driver.

I’m not a fan of the pen, I’d very rarely use it, I have a pen both on my compact and Swiss champ and haven’t used them once (but it’s good to know they’re there if there’s a pen emergency :ahhh)

….so I bought a new classic sd, took the toothpick scales off and swapped it for the pen scales on the mini champ.
First time I’ve changed scales and was problem-free :woohoo:

This is now perfect (in my opinion).

Great to see someone who thinks exactly like me... :D
I also hate that thick and ugly pen scale on the minichamp, and it would be something i'd almost never use.
So, when i got mine, i immediately popped the pen scale off and pressed a new regular back scale in  ;)
It's absolutely perfect now. I still carry the pen on my coin/utility pouch, if i need to use it, it fits perfectly under the phillips/combo tool on the mini, or under the hook on a 91mm  ;)

I might get rid of the pen scale as well.  Like you, I never use it. 

Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

Unable to take an action shot as both hands and, at one point. teeth were employed  ::) :dunno:

Count me in  :cheers:

But as I prefer to keep the pen (even if I rarely use it tbh), I choose the slight mod path and modified the scale to add toothpick and tweezers to my Midnight MiniChamp
