Just found out this was a thing, yours is flipping fantastic. It baffles me that Victorinox doesn't offer a custom knife build where you pick a model and the tools and colors.
@@FittoSurvive When you modify these stainless steel blades, (whether it's the Spiderco or SAK blades) by taking the grinder to them, do they have to be re heat treated or anything? I'm in the process of wanting to make a simple 2 bladed, slipjoint style SAK and want to grind down one of the blades to a sheeps foot
Super nice tutorial mate! Thanks a lot for your contribution for those as myself who can't afford a hand made custom spydernox and would rather try to make one by themselves! Would love to see more about anodization! Getting better on video making, congrats buddy!
Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. I will include a video about anodizing, but the process is VERY complicated and requires lots of different chemicals.
Anodizing titanium is easy. There are a ton of videos here on Yt showing how. I link some AA batteries and 9v's to really dial in the color I'm trying to achieve
I took out 2 of my Victorinox that's been in my drawers for I don't know how long and now I appreciate these things and carry it with me all the time thanks to you!
I love the work you did with it. I would have chosen a different color for mine. Instead of the light green, I would have went with blue, but that's me, lol... just the same, good job!
I've recently seen your minichamp modification and said that was the coolest video I've seen in a while, but I think this takes the cake. Keep it up man🙌
Just a technical tip. The saw needs to be narrower behind the teeth to prevent binding in the cut. This is called set in a saw. Victorinox emulate set by grinding the blade to taper slightly from teeth to spine.
Impressive, it went frictionless (lol). I imagine you did encounter some issues but the way you customized the already existing tools into a saw and a serrated blade with such ease is really impressive !
You make my imagination race, my OCD completely freek out ! I've been to your site and I'm having trouble with navigation. I wish you had example prices on some of your builds to give an idea on expenditures. Great work on all that you do, thanks for your time.
It is possible to add the saw. You will need a donor knife, longer brass pins (you will have to make them), and you will need an extra liner. Unless you are looking for a project or new hobby, the easiest method would be to buy a Victorinox Huntsman. It is on sale now for $31: amzn.to/437Uy2v
Depending on scale/liner thickness you can sacrifice either the tweezer/tooth pick an open the hole a bit then you can add one of the micro led lights that are used for light up fishing bobbers/illuminated arrow nocks
Thank you! I have thought about adding 2 Spyderco blades on a 91mm SAK. Like the Spyderco Byrd Robin 2 blade replacing the original blade and a Spyderco Dragonfly on it's own layer. I think it will be really cool.
Very nice. I don't think I'd have access to the resources to modify any of the tools on a victorinox. But maybe in the next few months, I can stonewash the tools on a minichamp and throw them on some custom scales and liners.
Thank you! Yes, I can reuse the original aluminum liners. But they cannot be acid etched because aluminum does not react with the acid. I am looking into getting a system set up for anodizing the original liners. Then, I can choose just about any color for them.
This was amazing! You have really got a talent. We all want cool knifes now. 😀👍Coolest thing I've seen so far. Want a purple one.💜😀👍Oh. And ALL my shelves are perfect!LOL
I'm not going to say that it may not be easier for you, but I'd like you to consider what I say about the sharpening process. When flipping the blade the burr will fold the same way each time and it could make the sharpening process longer, additionally when the blade faces up, you can end up removing more abrasive than necessary. Just some thoughts for you.
I appreciate your talent and enjoy these videos. Thanks for posting them. Now, what's your opinion of silver colored covers with gold colored liners and spacers, and the tools retaining their factory finish? Good or too much like jewelry?
Thank you! I am glad that you are enjoying them! I don't have any options for silver and gold. 🤑 But, I could do titanium scales with brass liners. I think it would look great together.
Well done job! I am impressed! The first thing I would change in Viktorinox is the ring, my own ring is strong, but it is too small, but I would like to tie the lanyard directly to Viktorinox, without using a small ring that can unbend.
Thank you! Maybe a cellphone lanyard would fit through the small keychain loophole? A paracord lanyard will definitely be too large to fit through without the ring.
@@FittoSurvive apparently I did not quite write it correctly, I would like to hook the lanyard to the metal part that is attached to Viktornox itself, without using a small ring, since I do not quite trust him
You’ve bastardized that victoinox. By the end it looked like a victoinox and a spider had a baby but drank nothing but alcohol during the entire pregnancy.
I have a website where I showcase all of my work and there are links there to order one. My current waiting list is about 41 weeks though. Here's my website: www.f2scustoms.com
Hey boss awesome builds you just keep getting better and better my dude you love to see it! Need another 91mm build video soon; you don't see a lot of modders in that space but I understand because the 58mm offers so much versatility and can utilize many 91mm tools😎🙏 Thanks in advance bud keep killing it my guy these are extremely helpful👏👏
I have some ferrocium rods from Tortoise Gear called the Firefly. It replaces the toothpick and even has a glow in the dark tip. Is that what you were talking about?
In more detail can you describe the saw mod? When filing do you go one way missing one Inbetween each time then on the other side do you file the other way? Hopefully that makes sense
I wish I could do this. Not only is this more advanced than my capabilities will allow, but they’re so small! A family member is trying to empty out my dead grandfather’s basement workshop (he was a mechanic post ww2) so I keep going and grabbing as much as I can since it’s vintage tools & more galore. Now I look like a hoarder but I don’t mind, she just rather toss out anvils, vises, and any tool you can imagine pre-1980 so she can fill it with her TjMaxx TRASH. Anyway, I’ve been staring at 15 various brands of multi tools similar to Swiss Army and folding knives in small/medium sizes wishing I could just rearrange them in a way that’ll suit my needs. Like Frankenstein them so I have 5 as opposed to 15 since these are newer I’m guessing 80’s/90’s?
Hi there, amazing build. Can you please provide a link for where you source the brass washers that go on the brass rods? I am having trouble buying them online. Thanks
The brass washers are hard to find online, I have to harvest them from knives that I disassemble. But, seems like I saw a seller on Aliexpress selling them. Don't know how good they are though.
Wow! That looks amazing! But I would make a notch on the die for a more convenient blade ejection to make the spyderhole easier to access. How did you make the titanium dies? If this is a CNC milling machine, it was possible to provide a notch for the spyderhole.
What's the "spring model" (which Victorinox model it came from for the Spyderco blade so it can "snap"... ?? Sorry for my English , hope it's good enough
Hey, the inner diameter is 2.5 mm for the two on the outside and 2.2mm for the one on the inside. I have never had much luck finding them. I harvest them from other Swiss Army Knives if I damage one during disassembly.
These I carefully removed during disassembly, when I do damage them, I harvest them from other knives. Some of the comments here have mentioned being able to find them on Aliexpress.

That thing is awesome. You do some really good work. Quistion for you I an trying to do a similar build and notice the honeybee hole is bigger then the 1/16th hole of the regular blades. Does this affect anything or is the play taking out when you reinstall the springs? Thanks for any info and a great video.
Amazing work I’ve always knew about victorinox customization but what you did is amazing between the amazing planning and craftsmanship this is one of the if not the coolest custom knives I’ve ever seen keep up the good work. You got my sub! Also if you have any suggestions on some starter mods for my full size champ I’d be glad to hear then
Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed the video and the knife! Simple mods would be replacing the scales with some titanium scales and maybe adding some colored picks and scales. Disassembling the knife is always a big dive, but once you do it then there are all kinds of mods that become available. But expect to ruin the first knife that you disassemble. 😂
Great insider of the process 👍Do you also ReSharper the scissors? Mine struggle to cut through paper after acid and stone washing them. Also I would go with the anodized aluminum science the carbon fiber face won't be visible
Thank you! No, I do not resharpen the scissors. Haven't had any problems with them being sharp. If I am not mistaken, the Victorinox scissors are supposed to be self sharpening. You are correct, if I do the carbon fiber liners it will just be greyish-black.
Interesting project but I would have still used steel as the layers to brace the tools, using the G10 only as the outer case and keyed the surface inside for better epoxy adhesion, G10 is resilient but I would only use it for scale liners or maybe a thick spacer rather than the actual structure to a functional tool, the best part was sneaking the spydie blade on
The original liners are aluminum, which is not that much more rigid than the G10. But I completely understand what you are talking about. Keying the outer liner sounds like a very good idea! I will have to try that. Thanks for the tips!! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@FittoSurvive I use worn 36 grit 2x72 belt cut into 8" lengths, but some 80 or 120 will be fine on small pieces of liner material, obviously careful of the dust etc
Your grinding will go much smoother if the wheel is centered and balanced on the shaft. If you have a lathe, make a proper flanged arbor with a bored center-hole and tight-fitting register. Once you've done that, you'll be able to dress that CBN wheel properly, truing it up and getting rid of that glazed surface.
@@FittoSurvive As long as there's not any unusual geometry, I can send you an arbor if you take some calipers or micrometers and measure the diameter of the shaft, diameter of the hole in the grinding wheel, thickness of the grinding wheel at the shaft, and approximate length of the unthreaded portion of the shaft. It'll look like what Shop and Math made in his video titled "arbor for diamond wheel". If that's a diamond wheel (not CBN), I'd recommend using a Norton white wheel instead if you're using it for grinding any type of steel, since diamond dissolves into steel at high temperatures.
@@elonquemattheson6151 I appreciate that! I'm going to take it apart and see if I can't figure out how to take care of it. 👍🏻 I'll send you a reply if I can't get it figured out. Thanks again! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Continue putting spyderco blades on those things. I will watch, just for the serrated one use a spyderco edge factory serrated blade. That would be dope!
The main reason for the G10 liners is just design. They weight about the same as the original aluminum liners. These G10 liners are about 0.1 mm wider than the original liners. So they add a bit more bulk.
The liners I made from a sheet of G10. These scales I bought from China. Unfortunately, there is not a place to order individual Victorinox parts. They have to be harvested from other Swiss Army Knives.
This is hands down one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
Wow! Thanks a lot.

Very interesting. I will look more into that. Thank you for the tip. 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent point, most European saws put a slight bend to the tooth. I usually see the taper in Japanese pull saws like the Silky arborist saws.
@@DravinD81 Definitely interesting. Can't say that I know what you are talking about, so I will have to Google it and learn something new.
It's Designe is so cool and saw,blades they are ultimate and a Swiss knife key chain made it so cool and hats of again too for your efforts
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed that! 😊
Gorgeous. Would fit nicely with a Lion Steel TiP lanyard bead.

The little detail you did that helps when attached to a key ring. You put the tweezer side on the ringside. This prevents them dropping out.

This is pretty awesome but I’m kind of curious if you could reuse the regular metal pieces instead of using the G10? Or even acid wash them as well?

I am nerding out right now on your craft. So awesome. I have subscribed for sure!
Cool! Glad to hear that. Thanks for the sub.
damn man, that saw making trick is pretty cool. I'll be sure to try this out sometime!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed that!
I am ready to start my mod. Just need to decide on tools and scales. I know that I want the blue liners
Can you do anodized blue?
Cool. I'm sure it'll be a fantastic project. Yes, I can anodize the titanium blue.
Most beautiful victorinox i've ever seen
Awesome. Thanks!
Great insider of the process 👍Do you also ReSharper the scissors? Mine struggle to cut through paper after acid and stone washing them. Also I would go with the anodized aluminum science the carbon fiber face won't be visible
Thank you!
No, I do not resharpen the scissors. Haven't had any problems with them being sharp. If I am not mistaken, the Victorinox scissors are supposed to be self sharpening.
You are correct, if I do the carbon fiber liners it will just be greyish-black.
It looks amazing dude, it looks like something you can buy at a store
Thanks a lot! Appreciate that. 👍🏻
That mini saw was cool!
Thank you! 😁
great video!
can you also show us how to fit a dragonfly blade into a 93mm spring?
Thank you.
I have not experimented with the 93mm range yet. But, when I get into that, I will make a video.
That's reeeally nice. Clean video for a clean mod. Thanks from Germany.
Thank you! 👍🏻😁
Your builds are amazing whats the price range on these, the one that suits my needs is the huntsman
Thanks. A custom SAK starts around $300 and goes up from there.
you sir now have a new subscriber.. loved the green man
Awesome!! Thank you. I like the green too. ☺️
Looks lovely...what thickness G10 are you using for liners please? 1mm?
For the 58mm SAKs I use the 0.7 mm G10.
This is actually so creative.
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
Interesting project but I would have still used steel as the layers to brace the tools, using the G10 only as the outer case and keyed the surface inside for better epoxy adhesion, G10 is resilient but I would only use it for scale liners or maybe a thick spacer rather than the actual structure to a functional tool, the best part was sneaking the spydie blade on
The original liners are aluminum, which is not that much more rigid than the G10. But I completely understand what you are talking about.
Keying the outer liner sounds like a very good idea! I will have to try that.
Thanks for the tips!! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@FittoSurvive I use worn 36 grit 2x72 belt cut into 8" lengths, but some 80 or 120 will be fine on small pieces of liner material, obviously careful of the dust etc
@@WessexBladesHandMadeKnives OK. That makes sense. 👍🏻 Thank you.
That's look awesome. Wish it was actually available to buy, I would definitely get one of those
Thank you.
Check out my website for information on how to order one. 👍🏻

@@FittoSurvive didn't realise you sold them. Do you ship to the UK
@@michaelgatford6194 I ship worldwide via FedEx.
@@FittoSurvive that's good to know
That is pretty fricken awesome! Truly amazing work!
Thank you! I appreciate that.
Your grinding will go much smoother if the wheel is centered and balanced on the shaft. If you have a lathe, make a proper flanged arbor with a bored center-hole and tight-fitting register. Once you've done that, you'll be able to dress that CBN wheel properly, truing it up and getting rid of that glazed surface.
I don't have a lathe, but thank you! I will look into that.
@@FittoSurvive As long as there's not any unusual geometry, I can send you an arbor if you take some calipers or micrometers and measure the diameter of the shaft, diameter of the hole in the grinding wheel, thickness of the grinding wheel at the shaft, and approximate length of the unthreaded portion of the shaft.
It'll look like what Shop and Math made in his video titled "arbor for diamond wheel".
If that's a diamond wheel (not CBN), I'd recommend using a Norton white wheel instead if you're using it for grinding any type of steel, since diamond dissolves into steel at high temperatures.
@@elonquemattheson6151 I appreciate that! I'm going to take it apart and see if I can't figure out how to take care of it. 👍🏻 I'll send you a reply if I can't get it figured out.
Thanks again! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Man this is sick asa knife maker I've been wanting to do something like this for ages cheers
Thanks!! I appreciate it.
Continue putting spyderco blades on those things. I will watch, just for the serrated one use a spyderco edge factory serrated blade. That would be dope!
Awesome! Thanks. Yeah, I will have to do a serrated Spyderco some day.
So could you use on a 91 a dragon fly replace the large blade and a honey bee to replace the small blade
No, unfortunately I can't. The pivoting part of the honeybee is smaller than the pivoting hole of the 91mm.
Is there any advantage to using g10 liners instead for aluminium? Less weight? They seem to add bulk to the SAK
The main reason for the G10 liners is just design. They weight about the same as the original aluminum liners. These G10 liners are about 0.1 mm wider than the original liners. So they add a bit more bulk.
This is unbelievably cool man.
Thanks.
would it be possible to add the honeybee blade to a classic sd instead of a mini champ?
Yes, it is possible. I have done it several times.
Where did you buy the liners and scales? Also is there a website to find specific victornox tools if I want to make a fully custom tool?
The liners I made from a sheet of G10. These scales I bought from China.
Unfortunately, there is not a place to order individual Victorinox parts. They have to be harvested from other Swiss Army Knives.
I wonder if you could fit a usb drive in a Cybertool lite and enclose that in the traveler lite lcd-display scale.
Hmmm... Not sure, it would be interesting though.
