Nice! Do you happen to have a SAK around to post for a size comparison?

It’s a smart looking design Sam.  :like:

But I’ve never liked lots of holes in blades or handles. They’re a pain to keep clean.

Plain edge probably at some point of time.  :)

I tried a few combination for the internal tools. There's 2 spring bars. Each is appx the same thickness as a normal tool on the Wave. That would also means I can only have a bit adapter in there.. I did tried that before but because the whole tool is pretty small so it's difficult to use as a proper screwdriver. Light use fine though. I didn't want to use a Skeletool handle as I prefer the curved shape at the end. And the end of the skeletool is not pointing straight, it will be a little awkward to turn.

As usual your mods are incredible! I used a skeletool CX to do something similar using a wingman clip, but this is way way better!


mine wasn't too comfortable. yours looks much much nicer.

 :like: I was lucky I had a kbx lying around.  :D does the holes on the Skele align with the wingman's clip? That's pretty awesome!

I was playing around with other blade profiles. The plain edge was from another previous mod that's why the spine looks weird.. But it is a good piercer and slices great.  :D

that bottom one is amazing!

yes they do! it was shear luck, all I had to do was slightly taper the end of the clip insert to fit a slightly smaller hole..but it worked perfectly. I added a small rubber gaskit to absorb the space between the clip and pivot and it worked great.

I would grind down the clip to make it a little bit more ergonomic, it wasn't very comfortable. Eventually I reassembled the CX, but I thought the concept was excellent.
