Swiss army mods

Continue When I was a little boy, Swiss army were the coolest thing since bread slicing. I got my first one when I was 13 and I actually bought it in Switzerland. It was 91mm, in classic red, which I think at the time was all there was. He got lost in a hike on The Pictures Rocks National Lakeshore when I was 18. I replaced it, lost that, and then got another couple that I held on to for a long time (see more details below). When in jeans I usually carried one on a carabiner trimmed on a loop belt, but I didn't have an EDC to work wear until some time in my late 30s when I realized I'd look more professional if I started to take better care of my nails. So I got a classic SD, and that, on my keychain, became basically the only thing I needed on a regular basis. I lost and replaced a number of them! At 60 years old I learned that with some tools and patience, you can disassemble and assemble SAK, and thought: Amazing! So I bought some new and used ones on eBay, and went to see what I could do. This site just documents my results. I hope you enjoy the visit. By the way, I also collect calculators and slide rules. And I created an interesting simulation of the Prisoner's Dilemma.

And feel free to email me at [email protected] was the first custom knife I built from 2 Classic SDs.A normal CSD has 1 layer, with a and file opposite scissors. The blade and file each half thick, like scissors. So you can add the second half as a thick layer with an extra blade and file. That's what I did, but I changed them both. The second knife became a tool for cutting into blister packs, and the second file became a bottle opener. I filed away a key attachment for a perfectly smooth tool. I thought it would be great to have a metallic SAK with a toothpick and tweezers. doesn't sell anything like that. In fact milling metal goes beyond my tool, but I was able instead to create scales from multiple layers of aluminum. Obviously, the inner layers grooved for THT.Aluminium is a little heavier than the plastic stock scales, but it's still a very light knife. Victorinox makes just a pair of knives at 74 mm. The executive has 2 , scissors, file and orange peeling (which is actually very good for its stated purpose, although rather useless otherwise). Usually it has two layers, one with scissors opposite two blades. Another layer is for file and peeling, which are usually opposite each other. But it turns out that the bottle opener Rambler (58 mm) is twice the thickness of the file and peels. So you can move two about them to one end of the layer opposite the opener for on the other end. The aforementioned construction required three donors - two leaders and Rambler. Obviously, Rambler provided a bottle opener. The 2nd Executive provided an additional 1/2 layer of springs. What's what enough to put together a classic SD, and it's an executive without file and peeling. I put brass scales on it to make an attractive and very thin Executive Lite. I like Rambler - a classic SD with a bottle opener and a decent Driver Philips. As with the aluminum knife above, I built brass scales from several flat layers. Brass way (weight) is heavier than aluminum though, so this pretty knife has some heaviness to it. Brass looks great to me! I tried to replace the SD scales with a single layer of brass. The result is good and subtle, although I miss TST.I actually use toothpicks and tweezers often, so I built a holder just for them! This allows me to carry any knife or multi-tool, and still has TRT at hand. Remember the 74mm Executive with the transplanted Rambler bottle opener on top? I added a deep pocket clip to it and it became my EDC. As far as I can tell right now, if he doesn't have a clip, it's not an EDC candidate. The clip is sterling silver and it's actually attached to the scale. This let me add it without having to disassemble the knife again. But for durability, it would be better to be a solder to the liner, or to be an integral part of the liner. We'll get to that last idea in a bit. Next up is Frankenkniff. It started as my two old 91mm SAKs. Both had the usual can opener and bottle opener and an old style awl without an eyehole. Both had two blades, but the small blades had different profiles, one of them more of a drop point than the other. One with a drop point is a small saw blade and Phillips, the other scissors and corkscrew. I've always found Phillips to be more helpful than a corkscrew (think I screw more than I drink), but unfortunately that knife was in bad shape. One scale disappeared, and the open liner was heavily nicked and scratched. Worse, the tip of the large blade and the fastening key broke. But the other opener was in very good shape. So I decided to just try replacing the corkscrew with a good opener for Phillips to beat one. Unfortunately, it didn't work! Tan Phillips was thicker than the corkscrew! That is, that the main blade of this knife was equally thick tan, as they were part of the same layer. A similar layer of the best knife, with 2 blades and a corkscrew was simply thinner. So if I wanted Phillips, I had to hold the appropriate two blades, though that the main tip of the blade was broken! Well good. I reground the review as shown below. I was discussing what to do with the saw. Indeed, it's not a very useful tool, but I decided WTF, it's subtle. So Frankenkniff has blades, Phillips and seen from one knife, and scissors from another. I forgot which one contributed to the openers and awl, but they were identical. I also decided to replace all liners with copper, just for fun. And finally, I added a new black plus scales. The rest of the knife with blades, openers, scissors, corkscrew and awl, but I also gave him brass earbuds. Frankenkniff in the wild. Colorado, 2017Victorinox sells knife with money clip, but it's much bulkier than this brass-clad Classic SD. To make it as thin as possible, there are no liners, only brass scales, and one of them has a tongue that I add up to make a holistic clip. I made a few of them to give as gifts. Here's a pair of brass knives. Using a tapered bit in my Dremel tool, I have beveled holes in the sides. This provided enough lips that peened pins can be sanded flush and still hold the knife together. It's not the strongest build, but I won't plan to put a lot of stress on these little guys. In case you're wondering, this is what's inside the classic SD. There are four pins. Two anchor springs, and two are rods for tools. There's only one layer. On one side are two folded springs, one for the blade and one for the file. On opposite sides are two more folded springs, both for scissors that are as thick as a blade and file combined. Note that one spring carries an attachment to separate the ring to attach the knife to the key fob. When assembling a knife, you can choose to put it on both ends. Victorinox usually puts it on the end of the blade, but I usually prefer the scissors end. And that's how it looked inside one of the donors for Frankenknife.While spring in a layer of saw pinned so that it can only bend at one end, spring in the other two layers to actually swim. There's a slot under the shoulder feature that includes a pin that prevents springs from moving along. But they are free to bend perpendicularly at both ends and in the middle! They are just trapped by 3 point turning ends and center tools. When the flexing force is applied at one turning point, the other two act as brackets. Clever.And this blade/scissor layer inside the 74mm Executive. The two springs are interconnected, so only one hand has to be fastened, leaving room for three instruments. A small blade is half the thickness of a large blade and scissors, so it requires a spacer. Meanwhile, the peeling layer and file has 2 springs, each pinned at one end like the 58mm Classic. It is half thick, like a scissor/blade layer, above. Note that one of the springs in this example has a notch just like the scissors/blade layer. It's not in the other 2 executives I've sorted out, so I don't know what happened here. I've used 111mm soldiers since 2014 for this modification. I swapped the original green-and-black scales with an olive green G10 with a rough texture. The G10 is used quite rough and the clutch is very good. It's also a little thicker than nylon scales. As a result, the pen 3.5 mm thicker than the original soldier's pen. The green G10 is very close to the black G10 used for kit for 111mm soldiers I showed in the previous post. In the latest pictures it can be seen. Tagged G10, Soldier, Victorinox For this modification I decided to use Alox Harvester and exchange silver Alox scales with Black G10 with a rough texture. The G10 is used quite rough and the clutch is very good. This is the first time I've used the G10 and I like it. It's easy to work with and it looks good. The G10 is very close to the G10 used to convert the kit for the 111mm soldiers I showed in the previous post. In the latest pictures it can be seen. I thought the G10 version would be considerably lighter than the Alox version, but my balance says it's only 4g lighter. For my next mod I will use a green G10 with the same rough texture. Tagged G10, Harvester, Victorinox I got a soldier with a beautiful Damascus blade, made by Andre Perret a few years ago. The owner of this beautiful soldier asked me to add a saw because he wanted a farmer. This is the result... Comparison with the black Damascus Pioneer with 2010 Tagged Alox, Damascus, Farmer, Victorinox This knife was originally a soldier model of 2008 from 2013 with regular green-black double density scales. Now it's still a soldier model 2008 since 2013, but with black G10 weights and with a clip. The G10 scales are very good and very well made. They are set as original scales without glue. The clip is attached to the front scale with two tiny screws of the torso. The G10 is rough and gives a good grip. I bought this conversion kit consisting of scales and a clip from a knife and tool supplier. Tagged soldier, Victorinox The main model for this modification is the farmer. Two layers of scissors, a trim blade and a small blade were added. This makes him a great and very helpful friend. Tagged Alox, Farmer, Scissors, Victorinox Victorinox
