Thanks FX.Have never seen a voyageur SAK before. Thanks for sharing and do feel free to show a spread eagled pic LOL :-)
I had to go custom Cadet SAK to get a 91mm scissors installed

Mine is not an original Voyageur either, it is also a custom with modded 91mm scissors

The above previous post Opinel is a No.8 carbon.
Below are the two No 8 pin stripe brothers. The darker is a Bubinga wood handle, suntanned with some flame and connected to a stainless steel blade.


I use my hands to crack the wall nuts. Two nuts is trivial and a single between two palms is harder but quite doable. If we're talking about cracking Macadamia nuts by hand alone, well that's way beyond my pay grade.

Did you do the work on these yourself? How much grinding was needed to fit the thumbstud? Thanks!

(If this is too long, mods please remove)

Yes I did work on these myself. The two part answer to your questions …
First the simple "Checkering" tool from my youth and the handle pin striping then the thumb stud. Lastly a short vid of it in real life.

Part 1 • The Handle




Many years ago and well before yours truly had become a teenager, I was enamoured with firearms. Gees, I could recite projectile weights, load in grains, muzzle velocities, distance drops of my favourite cartridges and shoot pretty well too. Gun design and gunsmithing looked very interesting and so set my mind to modifying the stock of my Gecado air rifle. That meant making a tool to make it happen so whilst in my Dad’s workshop, I stole a welding rod (manual metal arc stick), beat the flux off it and wire brushed it at one arbor end of a stone grinder. Next formed it with heat from an oxyacetylene kit to get a desired handle bend and with hammer flatten what would become the cutting end. The cutting head got finally formed with some fine files and heat treated via oxyacetylene and oil. I tried firstly with water but over heated the rod material and cracked it via thermal shock.

If you’ve come this far, so what is the significance of this recount. Well, I still have that tool and it is what was used to put the pinstripe pattern on the Opinel shown.

On a personal note, my Father was incredibly gifted at making steel do what he wanted. He happened to be working on a project and in a sincere effort to be like him I took on my big checkering tool project at the same time. What a laugh in retrospect and yeah those were wonderful times.

My very old amateur "Checkering Tool"



Part 2 • The Thumb Stud

Here’s my current thumb stud solution …




In order for the KWIK thumb stud to sit properly I had to remove a modicum of handle wood. That is so the grub screw could at least completely bite the blade, the blade could land fully in the handle and when open the recasso (not the stud) acted properly as the stop. That locus point necessitated the simplest of handle mod pictured.





btw, the KWIK thumb stud also acts as a neat thumb ramp when the blade is deployed.
Operating the Opinel swivel lock with thumb and forefinger is not a problem with one hand.

No 8 Carbon Steel result …

Thank for mentioning it Nate.
Wasn't there because of my ignorance and too much RL going on at the moment.
The FP interest, use and collecting has been with me for a long time but online participation is limited. Nonetheless am trying to arrange attending a not so nearby Pelikan Hub later this month.

Thanks FX. It seems like the Mini-Tool still appeals to enthusiasts. It's one of my favourites. Unfortunately compactness, capability and usefulness do not always go hand in hand with sales so being a retired product makes them a bit harder to find.

Would love to see the details on that SAK!
Victorinox SAK Pioneer Alox black custom by rickinFL
Had it for over a decade OMG!
It's Ceracoat-ed and has stonewashed tools as pictured.
IIRC rickinFL told me it was the first custom he'd ever completed.
Some closer pics ...
