Two 74mm alox mods
on: May 20, 2024, 04:19:07 PM
It was 74mm weekend here, I made two (and I'm still pondering what to do with some leftover parts). The larger one I call the Midichamp. One side has all the tools from an Executive, the other side has mostly 65mm tools as well as tweezers from a Micra. The smaller knife has no name yet, it has the same tool set as this mod by crackout but in a different orientation in order to use only broad springs.

Very nice execution.  Never considered using tweezers from a Micra.  How difficult was it to fit those in?

Not too difficult, I filled the pivot hole with brass, redrilled it to 2mm and I ground a little in the tang area. I didn't match the exact shape of 74mm tools (there isn't enough material around the pivot for that) but leaving about 1mm above and below the pivot hole is enough to get a good fit and snap.
