Great step by step tutorial on a useful modification! I did this myself, but went with the shorter tweezers filed to a point. Another great mod you might like and also on Felix's channel is turning the can opener into a hook knife using a dremel. Doing all of these to a Huntsman or Ranger gives you an incredible amount of utility in a reasonably sized package.
Been using that twist tender for a few years..I put shrink tubing on mine which will keep it from fraying and can be used as tender as well..love the channel❤
Thank you! To the best of my knowledge I think it's the Compact and champion as standard and any that have the plus in the name 🙏🏼 you can buy new scales on ebay\etsy
Awesome video! Super cool mod. Thank you for creating this tutorial!!! I see what you mean, throwing it in the floor makes all the difference. Lol that was gold! I didn't know about the secret 4th slot.
I took an old Ranger and made it a plus scale by doing exactly what you did but I had to carve out the entire length of the pen to make it fit. Not a professional job either but it worked just fine.
Curious question, does the smaller Firefly fit into the original tweezers then you get a smaller tweezers (such as those found on Victorinox Traveller) to fit that extra slot.
I have a Swiss Champ and a Victorinox Jewelers' Kit. In the kit there are shorter Tweezers that fit perfectly inside the ''Secret'' slot. So the Firefly ferro stick goes to the Toothpick slot, the Toothpick goes to the Tweezer slot, and the old long Tweezers go back in the kit. I will have to sand down the head of the toothpick, but it is full-sized.
" what I like to do now is... Throw it on the floor. " 🤣 Great tutorial though, and it will give many a Bushcrafter / Prepper a nice little mod to do to their SAK.( assuming they have one of course - which they should do ) .
Instead of cutting the big toothpick and modifying it, couldn’t you have replaced it directly with a new small one replacement that is sold for the small Swiss Army knives?
I did this myself with my Huntsman. I could’ve gone for the Fireant, but wanted to keep my glasses driver. I tried to include my mod fix on Instagram, but RUclips didn’t like my link! 🙄
Now that was really neat! Good job! Appreciate you taking the time to share this with the community! Hope you have a great weekend!
Thank you! Cheers!

What tweezers do you use ?

That's a great idea!
Loved this mate!
And the fact you did it all with a SAK is awesome!
How do you know what Knives have the plus scales ?
Thank you!

Really fun and useful project, enjoyed this one quite a bit. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it Jake 🤘🏼🤘🏼

I knew that was the way to do it 😂😂 thanks Eric
What r all your best modifications on one of your Swiss Army knife
Making my own is the best mod
I took an old Ranger and made it a plus scale by doing exactly what you did but I had to carve out the entire length of the pen to make it fit. Not a professional job either but it worked just fine.
Now that's cool!
Great trick for an additional tool. Thanks for the wisdom Slippy.
Thanks John! Glad you enjoyed it 🤘🏼
Great modification to the scales, buy why not but replacement ‘small tweezers’. They are cheaply available, and keep the toothpick where it is.
The small ones are still a little to big
@@TheJoePiper the Firefly only fits in the toothpick slot.
I was going to do that too but like Sawyer said the twisters were to big
Will the tweezers from the victoronox sd fit in the small slot?
That's a great mod👍Well done, buddy!
Glad you like it

Technically yes, but it's angled the same as the tweezers
@@SlipjointSawyer That's a bummer. 😟
Is that an aftermarket pin you have in the pin slot or something you've made?
Aftermarket
Nicely done mate good job 👌🏼
Thank you! Cheers!

Awesome
How do we determine if it’s a plus scale with the extra tool slot? Can this also be done on a Compact?
The Plus scale has the pen and pin slots.
All.plus scales have this
Very cool hack on your SAK!👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Thanks 🙏🏻
Excellent. Just Excellent. Thanks Slippy
Glad you enjoyed it
Cool project and explained very well. Cheers.
Thank you! Cheers!
Very useful and easy mod. Thanks for sharing this :)
Glad you like it!
excellent thank you

Glad you enjoyed it brother! Thought about editing it out, but I was laughing so much I left it in 😂😂
now that is very cool- my SAK saw is very differnt than yours though
That was the metal file 🙏🏼 thank Kathleen
Do you have a video on making your cork screw tinder? 💥💥💥🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💯💯💯😎🤘
Hey brother! It's actually purchased from tortoise gear!
Great video 😊
Appreciate your support Michael
@@SlipjointSawyer you the man 👍
💡I think the Victorinox mini-chisel would be perfect tool to excavate that opening instead of using a file.
Good idea
Interesting mod. You could cut a “v” in the end of the toothpick to make it a tick-remover.
Nice idea MB
@@SlipjointSawyer Was this one of Felix Immler’s hacks? I remember seeing it a while back…
@@MB_EDC the hidden slot, yes!
That awesome Slippy! I like to through shit on the floor first too!
Fantastic info/video brother!!
😂😂 thank you Randy 🙏🏼
Cool 😎 👍👊🤟
Thanks Will
Maybe SAK could replace the marginally useful tweezers/toothpick with a stylus so as to facilitate pecking out text messages on a cell phone?
That's a great idea!
Great mod!!
Thank you
I’m just looking at that file and realising it looks too long for that SAK to be legal UK carry
File on the SAK is 100% fine to carry, I've never had an issue
Instead of cutting the big toothpick and modifying it, couldn’t you have replaced it directly with a new small one replacement that is sold for the small Swiss Army knives?
Still a little large
@@SlipjointSawyer aaaah I see. Then it still needs modification. Thanks!
I've give up on needing a toothpick. SAK's are toothpick makers! I can turn anything into a toothpick with my SAK
That is true
I'd rather modify the ferro rod and let the toothpick in place. 😊
Good idea
Cool
Thanks for watching Jeff
@@SlipjointSawyer you’re welcome.
