Alox with file

Is there any 93mm alox models with file, like farmer but file instead of saw or with saw.

Not as an original from Victorinox. As a mod, it should be easy to replace the wood saw with a 91mm file/metal saw.

I just ordered this exact thing (Farmer, file replacing the saw).  My modder should get to me in about 4 weeks.

I bought a Farmer X and that is my exact plan. Replace saw with file.

I tend to use the saw far far more than the file.

In fact in my many years of using Multitools of several sorts, I have only ever used the file for my nails.

I dont find them adequate to the task, regardless of the manufacturer.

But the saws, now they are very useful.
tools is what defines us as humans

I do like the metal saw because it’s perfect for cutting and refining nocks into wooden arrows but wood saw is probably the second most used tool after blade for me...a Farmer with wood and metal saw now that’s got me thinking  :think:

Actually, just scored the metal saw/file from a seller in the Ukraine. Be here next year haha

Then I can remove the one pin and swap the wood saw out

Looks great!

Thanks!!!  Tim did a great job!

I wanted, originally, to go with threaded pivots and screws. However, I was unable to source the correct size.

The VSAKCS annual knife for 2022 was a blue Alox Electrician plus metal file / saw.

It’s funny you mention that knife. It’s on eBay right now…
