Yes, original as far as I remember.  They do take a bit of staining knocking around on my keyring and even after a good rub I'm not certain they're quite as white as they once were.  Not so bad as to say they don't still look good though, even in person.

That’s great to hear! :2tu:

Some plastics take on a definite yellow tone, after a little over a year or so…
So that’s another plus for the Celidor scales. :tu:

:cheers:

Probably best described as "pale cream" rather then "brilliant white" these days.

Here's my non work EDC Rambler That usually gets paired with a large folding blade. I upgraded the scales and the scale tools

I recently added a straight pin to my rambler - shorter than the standard Vic pin from 84/91 models, but still usable. Fits into the tweezers and the tweeezers are still fully aligned in their slot.

It has the 4 main blades I use most. 
Of all the Pharma Ramblers I've seen so far they have had the same medication listed on the scale.

I often wonder now and then on how to add a pin to my 58's, but never thought of that one.... Well done indeed...  :salute: :tu:

I tried this with the ones I had on hand but they was to long so I will try to shorten one and test..

apart from the length of  the pin, another important factor is the size of the "head" of the pin, most will probably have to be filed down a bit to fit....

I considered other options as well (like molding the pin into the toothpick or cut out a slot into the toothpick) but then I tried this and it worked.

Of course not ideal - if you want to use the tweezers you have to deal  with the loose pin and I am mildly concerned about the possibility of the tweezers coming out accidentaly in my pocket (ouch...) but I use the tweezers very seldom so it does not interfere with my regular use of the knife and I really enjoy the enhanced capability.

Obviously it is not a huge step for the mankind, but even the Rome was not build in a day!

Yes, I notices this too. But I'm going to work nightshift tomorrow and I will be up late tonight so I will test when the family has gone to bed

If it doesn't work for you, I'd recommend trying a Vagabond.

Thanks, NutSAK. I was actually leaning more towards a Manager as I like the pen in the Mini Champ.

But then I'd want to add a layered scale so I could have tweezers and toothpick and pin, leaving the modded Manager nearly as thick as the modded Mini Champ.   :(

The tweezers aren't totally flat. Try inserting the pin inside the tweezers. I think the pin head fits without a problem. It's awlso easier to retrieve the pin.

I carry a Midnite Manager as my EDC for ages now. I regard it as a Rambler Plus.

It actually started as a Rambler, I just swapped the scales.

That's also a nice way to do it! I have thought about doing the same to an alox but haven't taken any apart for some time
