I have to agree. Even had a lens fall out of one, but gave me an excuse to make this...now if only there was an easier way to get it onto the pivot...  :D
That is exactly 100% what victorinox should be using. It looks perfect. You gonna start selling those??

It was a bit of a mission to fabricate as I only have hand tools...so not economical to make. Could probably get a small run cut out of plate brass and build a batch of Yeoman/Explorer/SwissChamps, but I'm not really geared up for this at the moment. Will be a once-off I'm afraid.

None the less it’s an amazing feat on your part. Your making a part that is ten times better than the factory that makes these knives for a living. They should take notice.  Great job!

Their site says 73 functions. When you got 2 mp hooks, does that count as 2 functions? I understand that one comes with a nail file, but still 2 same hooks.
They could have just left that slot empty. IMO that is dishonest.

Agreed - Vic have always been really creative counting the so called functions -
I'm not sure the keyring is a function - Although i guess it is ....... It's just that it's not a tool.

I am also not sure on what planet they are when they call the XXL portable and practical.   :pok:    :think:
