You make it really easy 😂 I will try. I’d love to put the 93mm awl inside a 91mm tool, thatd be easily be the perfect tool for me since I low the awl inside the alox tools but I like to carry the mini pliers with me for small work
I have two Cybertool M knives, and would like to delete the pliers on one set. Thinner than the M, +scissors compared to the S. Also, I paid $24 for the second one, so...cost effective.
My ideal I really want to start with a swisschamp. Remove the fish scaler, pliers, wood saw, and can/bottle opener layer. And then swap the small blade with a combo tool. So first layer blade/combo tool. Second is scissors, third is metal saw/file, fourth is magnifying and Phillips. My dream. Possibly keep the wood saw but likely not necessary.
Tempting... I want a SAK that I can bring with me when flying. I'm thinking of starting with a Climber (I have two) and just removing the blades and the reamer, making a two-layer. Thoughts?
Great video. I'm going to make a 91mm with a blade, pliers, corkscrew, and TRY to take the philips bottle opener off of 58mm rambler and put it where the small blade usually goes. NO liners between the scales bc i got the alox scales, and have the slimmest best 2 layer ever!
Cool man! I don't think you can get away with no liner on the pliers though. Possibly on the blade side, but I am guessing the rivet in the pliers is going to hit the scale...at least without some grinding. Interested to see how it goes! GL!
@@decoyboat Ran into some issues but almost done. Its basically a mechanic junior with a corkscrew instead of philips, and a philips bottle opener from a 58mm instead of combo tool.
@@jackgindi7979 I'd love some 3mm OD pivot post ones, I just don't know how to get them.The only ones I have seen are M3 but that's the screw itself, so the post is like a 4mm
K&S sells a 2.5mm, but you can’t buy 2.2 easily at least in the US. You have to sand down the 2.5 or buy the size in between. It’s like 2.3mm equivalent or something like that. I forget the standard fraction size they sell
Hi! - And a happy new year! Do you have any tips for someone who wants to bother with the "stupid bushings"? I really want to make my own Yeoman (or possibly Scientist), I have all the parts (like the mag lens and in-line Phillips) and I have quite a bit of tools that I think will be sufficient for the job. But I haven't found a video/picture tutorial. Can you or anyone help?
I was just thinking I should do an online class and sell parts :) You should be able to figure it out though. Just use long pins from a donor knife. Be careful when you drill it, and you can reuse the bushings. Then just peen them back in place on the new knife. Just do it slooooooooowly, otherwise, you'll mess it up and be upset. Trust me on that one!
A center punch isn’t the way to go. In fact, this is exactly what a ball pein hammer was invented for. Peining is super simple, and since you aren’t trying to make beautiful round rivet heads (these will be hidden under the scales) you don’t even need a ball pein. Any hammer will do. Repeated taps is all it takes to swell the pin head into a rivet.
You need to be very careful and drill out the brass rod and keep the bushing intact. Go slow and drill the center and eventually the bushing will start to spin and then you can pull it off. Then you can reuse them and the rods, provided you are making the knife thinner.
You must work in government somewhere, somehow as only a true bureaucrat can talk this much and do absolutely nothing. "How-to talk a lot and do nothing" All show no go hand wave fest.
I’m not gonna lie; this is all I needed to hear. Felt like a buddy giving me the nudge I needed to move forward and do it. Thanks.
But you dont actually show us, its hard to visualise how to peen the washers. I needed to see it by itself 🤗
I jumped straight into the deep end on my first build. Acid wash and G10 layers. 😬

that's almost exactly my unicorn SAK right there, the only difference being i'd keep the wood saw rather than the metal saw
Tempting...

I made one with the cyber tool. A small knife. The magnifying glass and the pliers.
It was horrible! But fun and very practical.
Wait, you did the small blade and mag on the same layer??

@@jackgindi7979 Sounds like a neat knife! Now you got me thinking..... :)
@@decoyboat what do you think about torx screws instead of brass pins

What is the best glue to use on the scales?
Do you know of a source to purchase the brass rods with the correct OD? Great vid!

they took about 3 weeks to arrive but they are 2.2mm
@@jackgindi7979 Do you mind elaborating on which ones you got? I'm guessing the K&S 3/32 maybe?

My first build a CyberTool 41 8 layers 😕😕
Isn't a hair dryer easier than hot water ?
Wouldn't a centre punch be better to spread the brass pin head ?

How about using new rods. A
How to i get the bushings on the first side of the rods?
You need to be very careful and drill out the brass rod and keep the bushing intact. Go slow and drill the center and eventually the bushing will start to spin and then you can pull it off. Then you can reuse them and the rods, provided you are making the knife thinner.
@@decoyboat How do you get the bushings back on? Do you push with something? Hammering? Special tool?
