Possible SAK Configuration

[Demel]

Hello to all. I can't seem to find a place for this so if I am duplicating a thread mods plz forgive me 
It seems to me that SAKs with alox scales don't have backside tools? If this is true why or why not?

Can this sak exist: 91 or 93mm, Black alox scales, brass liners, Layers: 1) Large and small blade 2) scissors 3) bottle opener/flat driver and inline phillips

My other question is, is there a thread or website that lets you know what tools can be combined in one layer? For instance the large blade can be with small blade or combo tool...but what about others? Just curious. If any of this is unclear...please let me know so we can work it out. Thanks.

What sizes are you talking about here? That SAK can be made in 93mm.

[Demel]

91 or 93. How much of a difference do the 2mm make?
Edit: added size to original post.

[zoidberg]

Well there are no 91mm alox scales.
It's not just the length, springs and pin placement also factors in.
Just to clarify, do you want the bottle opener and can opener across from the phillips or just the bottle opener?

Didn't know that. Thanks. No can opener. Just the bottle opener/flat head tool across from phillips. Are the can and bottle opener needed? If I had to pair it I would like an awl instead of a can opener.

First, dude I love your avatar  

On topic....I believe Syph007 has done 91mm alox scales recently.  He certainly would be the guy to ask about any custom SAK configurations though.

it doesn't need to be 91, and right now I'm just dreaming. But I want it to be a realistic dream

That's how it starts my friend, and believe me, once you make it a reality, it's so cool   It's also addictive

Are you looking to make it yourself? Or have someone else do the job?

Given the massive amount of variables it really helps if you can say what you want. Makes it less time consuming when offering an opinion.

I thi k the inline phillips equals to 2 twools in width, so perhaps bottle opener (or combo tool) + awll vs phillips

93mm yes, 91mm probably.

Definitely someone else  this type of work is beyond my pay grade I'm not kowledgeable enough on the ins and outs of sak anatomy, so I'm just trying to get an idea of what would be realistic.

That is my thinking. Thanks for the feedback, I don't want the combo tool. The flat head driver is much better on the dedicated bottle opener.

[Demel]

93mm yes, 91mm probably.

93 sounds good

I think Syph007 actually made several 93mm SAKs similar to what you want. But I don't think I've ever seen the awl opposite the Phillips, I don't think that's really feasible.

[DazMechanical]

I think what your describing is Syph007's Urban Pioneer, blade and awl in original position, scissors on the next layer with both openers opposite the Philips for the final layer.

I do not recall seeing one either(that doesn't mean much as I miss a lot), I believe the awl is too long to go opposite the phillips.

Not 100% sure I understand the question, but the 93mm knives have the centre pin in a different location to the 91mm knives. This makes using back tools a nightmare. The 84mm alox and celidor knives both have the same centre pin location though, which means back tools could be used if you put a cutout in the alox scale

Yes except replace awl with small blade.....and add inline phillips and mag glass to make an alox type explorer with no backside tools.

One thing I love about MTO is the ability to brainstorm with other multi fanatics. I appreciate everyone's replies and it made me rethink what I would use this knife for. To me this would be a suit and tie knife. The only other things you would have on you are your keys and wallet. The type of knife you would pull out for special occasions.

So I say drop all the drivers all together. Two layer, 93mm, black alox scales, brass liners and pins, Layers: large blade, small blade, and scissors. This would be a very beautiful and classy knife with very basic functions.     
If any other tool is needed, then I would just go to the car and grab my backup mt.

Is there anyone that works on 111mm saks? I was thinking of another configuration, a hercules minus the saw, pliers and long phillips, swapping the blade for a one hand opening blade (like the oht) and putting the short phillips on the layer of the scissors. is that possible? am I asking too much?     

p.s. I never thought I would start digging saks more than leathermans 

[Demel]

Can the small blade replace the can opener on the 91mm sizes?
