So yeah, it was so nice I just had to do it twice.

First peening went well until the middle layer (saw&blade) lost a fair bit of tension and started to droop. Well I moved the pliers to the middle (as u/fullmetalturtle suggested, thanks btw) and it works beautifully. Everything snaps suprisingly well together with only minimal fiddlyness and I didn't need any extra spacers or anything. The space for the long tools was made mostly by filing the liners down a bit and using an extra liner if needed and a standard knife-layer spacer for each.

About the width of a Huntsman and has all my most used tools. Next I'm going to make and glue some thin scales on. I'm thinking of using wood, but am taking suggestions

I’m trying do do my first custom which is just a deluxe tinker with a small file swapped for the small blade and the can opener swapped for the box cutter. However while peening it shut the rivets are turning crooked. Does anyone know what’s going on or how to fix it?

I have a feeling some of you will thinks of this as a blasphemy...

The "main" blade is from a 91 mm model, which was broken already and gave me the general idea.

The "pry-scale" is made from a cheap knife's blade, so it can withstand most prying actions. I used carbide drill bits to drill the holes for the pins and every one of the holes broke one of my bits...

The clip is from a Böker DW-1 folding knife. I could mostly sand down the logo.

Both are a bit fiddly atm, don't have the cleanest snaps and can stick to the smaller tools, but with a little more filing and a tight peen everything should hopefully be ok.

I don't mind a bit of fiddlyness in the completed tool if I can have everything I want in such a tight package

I have this custom 58mm custom rambler with titanium scales. It has screws holding it together. Can I unscrew the one screw holding the knife blade, remove it and just slide in the New custom Syderco blade made for the 58mm model from Etsy?

I decided to make two custom knives for myself for EDC. You can check out the full story of why I created these knives, along with some more pictures here: https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,95107.0.html

But the short version is that my current EDC was starting to get old and worn, so I was looking for a replacement. I was also of the opinion that it would be very handy, at times, to have the pliers NOT on the same body as the drivers. But carrying two SAKs just to have pliers on one and some drivers on another would end up with two biggish knives with lots of overlap... so I decided to try my hand as some custom knives to minimize the overlap of tools.

I'm pretty happy with the results!

I recently picked up a laser engraver and my titanium scaled Explorer seemed like the perfect first project. I have a lot to learn with laser engraving, and maybe I should have picked something that didn't take me hours of work to make in the first place, but overall I'm pleased. I love topo designs and I think it's fitting for the Explorer! I sort of regret engraving the pocket clip but that's easily replaceable.

This is my second attempt at my dream SAK. I tried this a few months back, in my first attempt I tried combining the opener tools and a magnifying glass in a single layer. It didn’t end up well so I scrapped the magnifying glass and I’m a lot happier with the result.

It’s essentially a CyberTool L with an extra layer, the electrician blade and pruning blade, 8 layers total.

Edit: I’m also using the Compact parcel hook, adding an extra nail file

This is my first self-assembled Swiss Army Knife. It was a terrific workshop at the Victorinox Store in Lucerne.

Hi all!

When I was thinking about making another mod, I was surfing the web for pictures about disassembled 93mm models, cause it would be nice to realize, that I cannot accomplish the mod I wanted and I don't have to buy and disassemble the knives.

But there wasn't any pictures, so I thought, before I assemble my mod, I would take pictures of the layers, so the next fellow modder could plan ahead.

I took the pictures ~45cm above, so the pictures would not distort too much and could be used in CAD modelling.

Layers:

• Main blade with Reamer
• Scissors
• Electrician blade with bottle opener
• Box opener with bottle opener

... and a scale from the inside.

Ottawa- make an offer.

INTERNAL ALUMINUM LINERS and spacers for I believe 91mm/93mm Victorinoc Knives.

I want it gone ASAP!

I didn't really intend to start a collection but here I am haha

Some honorary mentions:

The opinel is one of my very first knives and has been with me for over 30 years.

Below the opinel is a birth-year 91mm Golfer, which I recently bought because... why not. Came with original box and seems to be unused.

Modded Leatherman Rebar for more heavy duty work.

I was thinking yesterday about whether I could turn the hook into a flathead screwdriver, since I never use the hook anyway. I searched around online, including here, to see if anyone else had done it, but I couldn’t find anything.

Today, while scrolling through Reddit, I came across someone who had done exactly what I had been thinking about, which inspired me to try it myself.

So, I went ahead and did it — and I’m very happy with the result. However, I would like to make the screwdriver sit flush with the scales like it’s supposed to. I haven’t figured out a good solution for that yet. Right now, I have to use the mini screwdriver from the corkscrew or something similar to pry it up a little before I can grab it with my fingernail.

I took photos of the different steps along the way. I used a vise instead of a hammer like the other person did, and then carefully ground and shaped the final part afterward.

It’s seems to be a Victorinox - Switzerland - Stainless - Rostfrei

Swiss Cross / Crossbow - Officier - Suisse but I can’t find it online with the 3 pointed shield crest.

Hi all

Added the rivet heads cutted as needs to prevent scales wear, and bent the bail again!
