As you can see I've cut a good part of the handle to accomodate the bit driver, I've grinded the bit driver to make it fit and catch the liner lock.
I've also done a lot of grinding work to fit the scissors, I've remove this hideous chin and grind down the end of the moving arm so it doesn't protrude from the handle.
I've of course grinded the awl to make it fit with the bigger Rebar head. For the flat it's another story originally it was for my plierless knife. I wanted to fit the package opener but it was impossible to fit it inside the Wave without reshaping the tool so I gave up and put this flat that I've grinded way too much. At least it fits and I've learn from my mistake (I guess). That's why I've sharpen the tip of the bottle opener so it can be used as a package opener.

In order to accomodate all the tools inside the handle I had to grind the 2 sides of the philips driver and a little bit of the flat and package opener. I've also grind the top of the package opener because it was a tad to long to fit just below the philips head. I also had to trim the rotating part of the philips because it was too big for the Wave lock. Finally I've created a 90 degree stop for the philips in case I need more torque.
Here you go I hope you'll like it.
Have a nice day!

(Oh and just in case you don't fully understand my English I apologies in advance but I'm not a native English speaker)

Why didn't LM put the 90 degree notch in the 3d Phillips in the first place? So useful when used with the bit extension that fits over it...

Same with the 2D but changer... I've been thinking of doing that for my mod too.

They didn't really need it with the "pistol grip mod" don't you think? Plus it will interfere with the closing of the mt.

Hi guys,

Some minors but cool updates to my my plierless wave SAK.
I've added 2 SAK items to my Wave handle to make it the best plierless it can be, I hope you'll enjoy it.

I've just grinded the glass breaker part to free some space up for the pen and the twinzers, I've also removed the "safety spring" to free some space up for the implements and that's it. It was quick but I've added 2 very important and usefull implement.

I have been thinking of adding a glass breaker to one of my Charge knives as well :tu: I hadn't thought about adding toothpick and tweezers or the pen though :o Great idea :like:

Thanks, it is a quick and easy mod that adds a lot of fonctionality.

The glassbreaker comes from a Chinese multitool, it is cheap and easily available. Plus the scissors are very good, I've added them to my Wave mod. You can see it in the pictures above.
