That is very very nice Rahmed

You finally did it! Awesome!

Maybe wenger could pump out one for the (former) Sosak crew before they change the factory!

This my Beast for Home and... errrh who cares... I have it, I like it. :-D It basically contains everything I need. ;-)

It's a new swisschamp with a few mods
- replaced small knife with a 84mm watch opener (i like this tool)
- added Cybertool bit driver
- replaced phillips (oposing the magnifying glas) with a white LED

So it's something between Swisschamp and Swisschamp XLT.

nuphoria · **Reply #2767 on:** April 20, 2013, 10:07:00 PM

Interesting combo

How do you find the LED?

sawman · **Reply #2768 on:** April 20, 2013, 10:08:35 PM

Wow, that's a nice super Champ you made there. I like seeing people customize things exactly the way they need them

Thx. Found it via ebay. All tools where part of some auctions. (e.g. the swisschamp was mislabeled and very cheap)

So the price of this Monster is more less the same like a normal Swisschamp bought at a store. And "this" is the best part of it, imho. :-)

Thx. But without this forum, it would have been much harder, to get such ideas.

DumDum · **Reply #2770 on:** April 20, 2013, 10:20:09 PM

HankSolon, can you make more pictures of Watch Case Opener? Open and closed. I wanna see how it looks on 91mm.

Nice job there! You kept the fishscaler though? I guess it has value as a ruler, but I never used it.

HankSolon · **Reply #2772 on:** April 20, 2013, 11:16:16 PM

@Syph: Yeah, I kept it ... having a ruler and a long dull tool. And I read once, you can use it to cut a pumpkin face...

But I admit it's been a coinflip to keep it or not.

Here you are:

DumDum · **Reply #2773 on:** April 20, 2013, 11:21:14 PM

HankSolon, thanks. It looks better than Combo from 84mm in 91mm.

I like WCO too, but I don't know what I have to do with that. I don't have watch with this type of case. But... It's good for that.

HankSolon · **Reply #2774 on:** April 20, 2013, 11:32:31 PM

@DumDum:
Indeed, beside the fact I have an old watch (1930's Savonette), I use it for the same. it's my favorite tool for disassembling SAKs.

Here is my Wenger Alox soldier with German Silver scales, 3 brass liners and a blade lock of my own idea,,,,,,,,,, also a Work in progress Fenix ED01

When the catch is swivelled down,,,,,, a cam presses against the back springs stopping the blade from closing

stealth007s · **Reply #2776 on:** April 25, 2013, 05:50:27 PM

Very cool Boyo

What's the vial?

Boyo17 · **Reply #2777 on:** April 25, 2013, 05:57:14 PM

Thanks,,,,,,Not a vial but a Fenix ED01 flashlight

lowtech · **Reply #2778 on:** April 25, 2013, 06:04:13 PM

This is something new! I really like the concept - What metal is "German silver"?

I think thats another name for nickel silver.

It is quite a unique locking mechanism, very nice design!

Fenix ED01?

That's not a production model, is it? LD01 with a custom housing? Love the looks of it. Where did you get it?

Boyo17 · **Reply #2781 on:** April 25, 2013, 07:10:15 PM

Did I say ED01?? I bet that was confusing!

I machined the identity out of the LD01 and then made a couple of brass ends for it. It's not finished yet!!!!!

enki_ck · **Reply #2782 on:** April 25, 2013, 07:13:56 PM

Very cool.

I'd love to see a few pics of the "making of" this one in the flashlight sub-forum if you have any more pics of it throughout the stages as well as the finished product when it's done.

Boyo17 · **Reply #2783 on:** April 25, 2013, 07:26:40 PM

I wish I had taken some pics as the making was fun,,,,, but I can do a before and after so the contrast between standard LD01 and totally screwed up LD01 can easily be seen

This is the first torch that I've modded,,, but it won't be the last, the ideas come thick and fast

German Silver or Nickel Silver is used for coins, musical instruments etc ,, it's an alloy of copper, zinc and nickel. It's a bit like a silver coloured brass

stealth007s · **Reply #2784 on:** April 25, 2013, 09:23:26 PM

Boyo17:
I forgot to mention that I like the suspension clip as well. Is that one of your creations or did you buy it?

nuphoria · **Reply #2785 on:** April 25, 2013, 10:26:16 PM
