You are most welcome! Glad to hear that. 👍🏻👍🏻

Now I'm watching both of your videos for this SAK.

@@MrPC1121 Awesome!

Welcome to the channel. 😃👍🏻 Thank you!

Thank you! 😁

My pleasure, thank you too🙂

Would have been pretty easy to add. :D

I was thinking the same thing (except it is a pair of plyers instead of the saw).

Nice! They really can be nostalgic. I am certain you will enjoy modding your SAK into something one of a kind. 👍🏻👍🏻

Glad to hear that! I'll be honest... The imperial system is over complicated. Who needs 1/32" or 3/64"... 😝

Thank you! I really appreciate it.

Yeah, the parts can be rather expensive.

Thanks! Glad to hear that. Yeah, I can see how that would add some nice functionality.

Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it.

I am thrilled to hear that! Glad you enjoyed the video and the tool. This is what I do on my channel and I do some EDC reviews. Thanks for the sub!

Thanks! 👍🏻😁🔥

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Thank you!

Thank you! More to come soon.

Thank you!

Awesome! Thanks.

Thanks! 😎

Glad you like it! Sometimes I think the editing work is more difficult than the modding. 😂 Probably because I enjoy modding knives and I do not enjoy video editing... 😝

Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed it.

Thank you! 👍🏻😎

Nice. :D The cadet alox does come in black scales and I could make orange G10 liners.

Thank you!

😊 Thanks a ton!

Thank you! Glad to hear that.

Thanks! Yes, he does seem to be pleased.

Nice! 👍🏻 Thank you!

Thank you sir! 👍🏻😎

Thank you! I definitely agree with you.

Thank you.

Thank you! Yeah, there's definitely got to be an easier way to peen. I know that Victorinox has a machine, but I'd never be able to get my hands on one. 😅

Thanks! Yes, your comment is why I decided to check out his video and work on putting his Companion knife together. 👍🏻👍🏻

@@FittoSurvive You are most welcome! I am very glad to have been of assistance...

Thank you! 👍🏻😎

Cool, glad that you were directed my way. Yes, it is completely doable. 👍🏻😁

Thank you!

Thank you! 😄👍🏻

Hello Steve! Glad to hear that. Sounds like an interesting and slim toolset. Not sure if the 74mm scissors would fit on an 84mm, but I am interested in trying it out. 👍🏻😎

@@FittoSurvive Happy Monday FtS, My selecting the 74mm scissors is just theoretical & it might not be practical if it won't work with the backspring on an 84mm sized frame, in which case a modified 85mm Wenger style scissors will be the way to go. Basically I am thinking along the lines of an Alox version of the 91mm Compact. Have a great day, ATB Steve.

Thank you!

Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it.

Thanks!

🤣👍🏻 Thanks. Ben seemed to be pretty pleased with it.

Yes, they really are.

Thanks

Thank you! 👍🏻😎

Thanks. I usually polish them to 1200 grit.

Yes, that would make it very convenient! I wish they would do that too.

I am thrilled to hear that!

Thanks a bunch! Glad to hear that. Yes, I try to keep the key ring spacer as far away from the tool next to it. If you get it too close, then there is a good chance that it could get in the way.

Thanks. I have to peen the brass to get that mushroom shape on the ends.

Niсe! The Cadet X is an amazing toolset! Best of luck on your project. Look forward to seeing it.

@@FittoSurvive out of curiosity where do you get the little round spacers from? I’d love to not break open a few more SAKs than I have to for those… if possible.

@@antonsimanov The washers that I used were left over from making Dragonox Cadets. The Dragonfly does not need the washer like the original blade does. I imagine that a similar size/thickness could be ordered though.

@@FittoSurvive I’ll have a look around, do you have a favorite place you like to look for parts or just anywhere? Now to size the washers, hopefully they’re not a special size but that’d be too east 😂

@@antonsimanov Hmmm... The SAKs I source from all over depending on where I can get them cheaper: Amazon, swissknifeshop, SMKW, etc. As for parts, if you mean like the washers, I'd check on www.knifekits.com

I use a cobalt drill bits. Usually I have to order them from overseas (via Ebay) because it is difficult to find small metric sizes without ordering an entire set. The drill bit needed for the 84mm frame is the 2.2mm. And that is not a common size.

👍🏻👍🏻

@@FittoSurvive Wouldn't that be the Electrician Plus? 93mm?.... Victorinox has had some really nice models that they discontinued... My favorite would be a 93mm 2 layer Lumberjack with an added electrician sheep foot... Main Blade Saw blade Combo tool and a Sheep's foot...

Should be able to replace the awl with the combi tool. It would need some extra spacers. It would basically be a 93mm Bantam X.

The 84mm alox blade is the same size as the standard 84mm.

Gracias!

Thanks. 😅 The electrians are the same size and the pivot holes are the same size. But on some tools (like the XLT) The Electrician and Pruner blades have been bent to be able to be placed opposite each other.

I typically do not modify the 3mm pivot bores, there's not any issues in action and closing. Trying to peen them in and re-drilling them out to 2.2mm is unnecessary.

I've never used the Ruike before. I might look into that some day. Assembling the SAK with torx screws will really be an awesome improvement, I do have plan to make a special build like that in the future.

Thank you! I appreciate it. Check out my website for information on how to order one. www.f2scustoms.com

Thank you . I used 2.2mm brass pins . I didn't drill out the tools. Here's a link to the brass pins. amzn.to/3IwHv1K

Yes, this is due to the tension from the scissors and lack of tension from the spacers opposite the scissors. I am working on have a special spring made, replicating the original/discontinued 84mm scissor spring.

If anyone can master the art of spring conversion, it's you

@@ThorenTravels I appreciate the confidence.

Yes, the 91mm SAK uses the scissors with the usual spring.

Thank you! That would be really cool!

Thank you! A knife like this will cost around $420.

Actually the washers that I used were originally from the Victorinox Cadet and the others were some 0.1 mm brass washers that I had lying around.

Sounds like a great toolset! 👍🏻

I like the toothed scissors as well. They are super sharp. Awesome! Glad to hear that you enjoy watching the build process and my choice for the background music. I try to keep it low key.

Hi, I do except custom orders. Check out my website for inro www.f2scustoms.com A 93mm SAK cost around 300$ and up.

I can see what you mean. But Victorinox chose the name "pruner". The shape of the blade is called a hawkbill.

Hey, thanks. Yes, I can make one similar to it in the 91mm frame.

​@@FittoSurvive I have an electrician Alox would that work as the base frame?

I am still working on getting a locking blade to work. But havent had any successful experiments yet. The Evo locking blade has to use the Evo tool spring which is not compatible with the 84mm. Maybe the liner lock from a 111mm SAK will work though. I'll post a video once I get it worked out.

@@FittoSurvive with the 111mm I would assume you would have a lot more blades to choose from as a donor as well, might be perfect that way!

@@poonbandit9924 I meant using the liner lock from a 111mm and modifying it to fit on an 84mm.

@@FittoSurvive that would be so cool, I’d have to buy one immediately!

Sounds awesome

👍🏻😁 Check out my website for information on how to order one. www.f2scustoms.com

That could be arranged. 😅👍🏻

@@FittoSurvive I honestly was thinking of asking you about a build for myself. I was thinking green scales like micarta, denim or like Carhartt material, something grippy as long as I can get plus tool scales. Tweezer, Ferro rod in place of pick. A spyderco main blade, smaller secondary spyderco that's serrated karambit both 1 hand opening, and the main victorianox blade but serrated. Can opener, saw and the little pliers for grabbing hot stuff. An awl, corkscrew and philips at the back (the only tools I can think of for the back). Green g10 liners in place of aluminum if possible, if not, I really like brass. I really like the 111mm and 130mm sizes, the bigger the better. Lemme know what that would cost, ballpark. Canadian 👌🏽

@@misfitledoux1312 Can you send me an email. That would be much easier for me. f2scustoms@gmail.com

I agree with you for sure. Victorinox needs to get out of the rut and start being more creative. Thanks!

っyっt

っt

It cost around 450$

Thank you.

👍🏻😁

I have thought about putting together kits for people to "build their own", but I haven't started that just yet.

@@FittoSurvive I have a Swiss army mechanic, it’s something discontinued and I’d love too freshen it up and give it a spyderco, also I’d love too make my own mechanic special, I love the pliers

@@davidbreitwieser3591 Nice. I'd need to get everything worked out. Maybe by Christmas time I'll be able to sell a limited amount of project kits.

I do accept custom orders. Check out my website for information on how to order one. www.f2scustoms.com

Thanks!

Очень хотел в этом году съездить на Blade, но похоже не выйдет. Если только не устрою какой нибудь Gofundme. 😅

I'd love to be able to make my own multitool. But why reinvent the wheel when I can just make improvements to an existing knife? If you buy a new car and put bigger tires on it, would someone tell you "why don't you just build your own car"? Make sense? Not being confrontational, I just don't see the problem. 😄

Hello! There are links to my social media and email on my website. www.f2scustoms.com I am flooded with messages right now, but I will get back to you. 👍🏻

Yeah, the saw would have been nice to add as well.
