Nice start to Day 2 Rizio :tu:

Monday mornings at the office start with coffee for me and this challenge's Day 2 is no exception, especially after a short holiday.

A special guest is in attendance today, sporting some tools which are decidedly non-standard for Alox models.

Day 2

My Yeoman mod. Compared to Explorer. It’s surprising the space saved by dropping the opener layer, but retaining most of its bigger brother’s functionality.

And even better with a file on the hook  :like:

I like the green scales and the leather dangler Ron  :like:

Courtesy of Magentus, both. Actually they are plus scales.

Day 2 - Two blade layers

The Green Hornet has two blade layers, with a saw sandwiched in between.

The first blade layer is standard: large blade, small blade, corkscrew (but it is a fluted corkscrew!)
The second blade layer: serrated blade, combo tool, and a filler to replace the corkscrew or phillips because neither one will fit here.

Here, the filler is an awl that cannot be accessed but I don´t care. Every SAK needs a tool that is useless to the owner. Mags tried to fit a hook but that didn´t work (in case you didn´t know, it was Magentus who built this mod for me).

The two blades are of different age, the standard blade has a Victorinox tang stamp, the serrated blade a victorinox.

The serrated blade and the fluted corkscrew were sourced from the now discontinued Weekender.

I’m currently trying to gather parts for a custom build.

Going to turn my MT.O red Pioneer X into a custom. Will add the metal saw/file from a Mountaineer and the inline Phillips driver, to be placed across from the bottle and can openers, placed side by side.

I have the file with my Mountaineer and the inline Phillips driver with my Explorer. I just need a Harvester for the saw back spring ( to be used with the file...) and spacer to be used in the opener/inline Phillips driver layer.

Then I’ll send all off to be torn apart and rebuilt into my red alox custom.

Day 2

My Yeoman mod. Compared to Explorer. It’s surprising the space saved by dropping the opener layer, but retaining most of its bigger brother’s functionality.

This is the reason I love the Yeoman.  The Explorer challenge confirmed that the difference is noticeable for me in pocket but I don’t miss anything in day to day use, especially with my Yeoman having the awl instead of hook.

Day 1:

Thought I’d join if that’s ok?

I don’t have too much in the way of modded SAKs but for now I’ll start with my Pioneer X.

 Basic silver but I modded the can opener into a longer reach, smaller flat head driver.   Also added a Nite Ize Hip Clip.

Not much modification, but it’s not oem stock anymore. Haha

Glad to have you

Glad you were still able to find time to post and good use.

Day 2

No "proper" use to speak of today, but I did manage to break my thumb nail while fidgeting with the Examiner :climber: - luckily the solution was right at my fingertips, the scissors and the nailfile hook did their job.  :tu:

Nice electrician and I look forward to seeing your new mod.

I use the Tapatalk app to access the forum from my iPad.  With Tapatalk you can upload photos directly from the iPad and it asks the size you want.
Cheers I’ve downloaded Tapatalk so trying it out now, not sure what happened to the size of that text lol
The mod isn’t much to be honest, just a little bladeless piece from parts thrown together.

Day 2.
edc servicing + maintenance.

Day 2 Bonus
Some various uses once my day got started.

Used the combo tool to remove some staples before copying some important documents for putting in my go bag.

Awl for breaking down a box

Then added a bead as zipper pull to my new pocket organizer.  The scissors and awl helped with that.

Two blades, not that is interesting. I am a big fan of two blade...one large and one small...or two totally different style - so this would be a winner!  :tu: :cheers:
