Regarding that hidden slot, it is actually used on some models. The Traveller, for instance, has an electronic clock in one scale and no tools. On the other side, all three slots are used: to hold the pen and toothpick on one end and the tweezers from the small knives in the normally hidden slot on the other end.

I started carrying a Swiss army knife when I was about 20, and I am almost 65 now. I never knew about the pinhole behind the screwdriver, and sure enough I look in mine and there is a pin hole! I am totally shocked! I have a number of Swiss army knives that scales have been broken off or lost pieces and I know I can get parts now over the internet and haven't gotten around to replacing them. I am definitely going to be ordering some parts now. Thanks for making this video I really enjoyed it! And best of all I've learned something new that I can share with people!

All features that I had never seen in the many SAKs i have seen and owned. Cool that people add to what is already a useful tool.

The thing is they can't do plus scales on every model. The tweezers and the toothpick are placed in by a machine but the pen has to be placed manually by hand. That's an expensive step if you manufacture tens of thousands of knives. And I don't think plus scales have never been the standard, what models specifically do you own?

Someone makes titanium scales that will fit the 58mm pen, and also have the retractor? It would be really nice if it's possible to buy the fully equipped 58mm pen scale on its own, because I know it's possible to damage the scales during removal even with the hot water trick, and it would be a shame to spend $42 on a Manager and break the scale, or damage it to the point where it doesn't stick in place.
