I’d love to see somebody make a Victorinox scale where the shield is actually an LED emitter. So the shield would house a hidden emitter beneath it. Wouldn’t that be sick? Even if it was just to make the shield light up, or the shield itself, could be a glow in the dark plastic, so that when you light up the light behind it when you’re done it still glows.
That bladeless build would be a perfect backup for travel. Perfect build gets the most use out of the size, and looks non threatening as well with stock scales
TSA has thousands of confiscated knives that people forgot about when going through security checkpoints at the airports. My wife had a Victorinox knife in her purse she forgot was there. As soon as they saw it on the X-ray machine she thought she was going to jail but security just let her drop it in a box with all the other things people forgot about. You will loose your knives if you try to fly with them. Don’t try you’ll be disappointed when your knife hits the bottom of the collection box. My wife was just glad they let her go.
If you really don’t want to lose it, you can pay them to mail it to your home, but if you’re in a hurry good luck because the forms take forever to fill out.
Did you ever tried making the grips out of paperstone? Amazing material for knive grips. I did this on a real steel 127 II with some grooves in it for more grip
Happy Easter Sunday Maestro FtS, all your modification jobs create a fully working tool set that is also aesthetically pleasing to look at. I especially like the 93mm Pioneer based SAK.
beautiful knives!! I have a question; How do you get the acid wash so black... I just did one last week and my wash came out more grey in colours. I etched the parts two times each for 90 seconds.... did I etch them for too long or too short a time... or do you have a trick to share? :) Imo the minichamp just has too many blades to be carrying at once... The first black and green one is almost perfect! All I would do was change the small serrated blade out for the combo bottle and can opener from the compact.
So Yea I want all of them haha😂 The mini champ would make for a killer office carry, I carry a standard or alox one myself. The blade-less cyber tool would make a perfect bag multi tool.
still can't get over the fact that victorinox renamed some tools they've implemented in the minichamp, bc they were not allowed using the tool-names pharmacologists are using... nice work with the knifes! how did you reshape the ruler into a woodsaw?
That is weird, but I guess that's all part of the nuisances of business. 🤣 I used a dremel and diamond needle file to make the wood saw. It is tedious... 😅
@@FittoSurvive ok and obviously beyond my paygrade... too bad, hoped there's an easy way... yeah, scalpel, powdershovel, bottle-seal-opener - it's not like these things are free available on the market, certified and uncertified manufacturers... and suddendly, the tools and their special shape make sense, right :)
@@FittoSurvive I actually owned the dragonfly 2 with the emerson wave it was nice until I lost it lol. I bent the pocket clip and tried to fix it but lost it about a week later. I looked and the blade is the same dimensions as the other dragonflys. I bought the handyman and really like it. so I'm tempted to try and mod it. I'm hoping to shave down the spring to match the blade profile. how do you decide when you need to cut the blade instead? what are your thoughts on modifying the smaller blade to become a lock for the large blade?
@@andrewfelldown Yes, the Emerson Dragonfly has the same dimensions. If I place the Dragonfly where the original blade goes, then I have to reshape the Dragonfly. If I place it on a layer of it's own, then I have to shave down the spring.
How do the w3rktrieb scales come off? When I undid all the screws on mine they were still firmly stuck on. I contacted them and they said there was some sort of spring tension to overcome? Did you experience this?
@@thomast6823 Hey, you might need to lightly pry the scales off. This is because the scales are not held on necessarily by the screws. The screws just provide the tension. The scales are held in place by the tension that is on the pins. Here's what you need to do to remove the scales. 1. Unscrew all three screws on one side. 2. Open one of the tools (on the side that you unscrewed) 3. Rock the tool left and right (not open and closed). After you rock the tool left and right it should "pry" or force the scales off. Hopefully that helps you.
@@FittoSurvive thank you so much for your detailed response. I did manage it, but then had the difficulty of putting it back together again! Not helped by the fact that one of the screws went walkies while I was doing it. Now I know I can do it, time to get a spyderco blade in there! Thanks again!
Is there a way for me to contact you to purchase tiny bits of accessories? I'd like to buy a corkscrew Phillips glasses driver, 3 tortoise gear tinder fluffs, a pin near the base of the corkscrew and a tortoise gear toothpick replacement firesteel. All to fit on my Ruike LD51. I know I can buy all these separately off Amazon but they come in extremely large packs that are expensive (about $80 just for the times I listed) and was wondering if I could somehow purchase these items from you for less? Just thought I'd ask here since I didn't see an email contact on your website.
Hey, I am currently working from overseas. So, mailing the parts back to the States would end up being really pricey. When I move back to the States, I will be able to sell small parts and such.
they just discontinued the Cybertool S - it has blades (i believe two) but essentially is one just one layer bigger... (but bladeless/TSA-conforming would be great)
@@michaelkeller5008 I know about the Cybertool S but I think this one is a step up from that: this techie SAK has pliers instead of the bottle and can openers (much more useful while working with electronics). Plus all the other Cybertools are way too big for my liking. I'd rather have 2 SAKs (geared towards 2 different areas of use) with 4 layers each than one giant brick that may have every tool I ever need but too chunky to be practical.
I hear so many people talk about not being able to carry a knife on the job. It makes sense to create a full-size a blade-less multi tool with scissors. The miniChamp looks like it has bat wings, something from batman’s utility belt.
5:41 That's true, in European Union you cannot fly with ANY blade at all on your person/carry-on baggage. But I've smuggled mine Victorinox Manager through airport security so many times 🤣
@@FittoSurvive The EU rules ate more strict, but European airport security is much more relaxed than TSA. My friend had unopened energy drink can in the Rome airport and nobody noticed. That's all security theatre.
Bladeless tool set is nice if you carry a premium fixed or folder. No way I am letting TSA decide if they keep my custom sak. Check it or leave it home.
Great builds, again... One suggestion... Since you are actually into modifying tools, a good one is to hook-shape and sharpen the inner flat part of the can opener to get a small hook blade (this is from Felix Immler here on TH-cam... Check it out!). It adds nice functionality to the best tool from Voctorinox, and one could think about grinding off also the lower "can edge grabbing" part for better use of the hook blade, however loosing the can opening functionality, but... Well the real functions of the can opener nowadays are small flat head, emergency Phillips head, and scraping/prying with the sharpened edge, who cares about opening cans? 🙂 Cheers!
Thank you! Yes, those are great mod ideas. I have seen Felix Immler's video. He has some really brilliant ideas. I have done several of his mods before. I have to say, I have never used the can opener as a can opener. 🤣🤣🤣
@@FittoSurvive lol yes, in victorinox world that is more a "scales removal tool" than a can opener, but overall, again, it is actually my preferred tool
@@FittoSurvive idk why it’s avoided because it seems like a simple thing to do, it’s just another dividing plate with a bending part for liner lock. I assume it’s because in people’s minds a sak is the legal to carry slip joint? But then again there’s the 84mm evo series that it has locking blade. Not a practical one but it’s lockable. I think he who makes the first 93 mm linerlock would be the pioneer in the sak community
Как всегда отличная работа😊. Приятно смотреть ваш канал. Я не знаю английский язык. Перевожу через переводчик. Удачи вам в ваших проектах. Привет из России😊❤ Сибирь Новосибирск.
Love the double blade configuration on the mini champ - But the black against the green, beautiful!
Really glad to hear that. 👍🏻 The black and green really does look awesome.
love the scales with the torque screws.
They really are nice.
Superb customization. Best Regards from Portugal.
Thank you so much. 😊
I love those truss style scales, they look awesome 👍
Yes, they really do!
Love the simple bladeless Cybertool. What is the width on that one?
Cool. 👍🏻 It is 0.85 inches wide. (21.7 mm)
Beautiful works as always! 👏
Thank you!
I like them all. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like them!
You became a real artist my friend! Outstanding work! 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
There all great but that 3rd one has got to be my personal favourite!
Awesome! Thank you.
Great tool sets I love the last one with the bite driver , it would be great with the File / bit driver / pliers / corkscrew . Super DIY
Thank you! Yeah, that would make for a great toolset. 👍🏻👍🏻

They should fix something up like that for a midnight manager
3:29 Isn't the clip in the wrong place for tip-up carry if you are right-handed?
Yes, it is. This pocket clip was pre-attached by the scale manufacturer.
I love the idea of customizing the ruler!! What tool / method to accomplish this?
I used a dremel cutting wheel and a trianglular diamond needle file.
These are so sick! If that Cybertool had k390 and pliers added it would be about my perfect tool. I love all of these, though. Great builds!
Looks awesome as always😊. I almost did my manicure with those pretty colors on the small knife 😅
Thank you! That would have been funny. 👍🏻😁
Would honestly love to have a bladeless toolset SAK made eventually. Great to see how it ends up looking.
It's interesting the demand for the bladeless SAK.
It would be popular, since many carry a locking blade anyway. Victorinox does accept suggestions…
Check out the Jetsetter models. All 58mm bladeless.
I love the bladeless option here!
Is there a modded nail clipper SAK? I'd love to see what could go where the small blade and file are 🤔 😁
I have modified the 65mm Nail clipper before. But I only added a Spyderco blade. I didn't swap out the other tools for anything else.
Man, those are great looking knives!
Thank you. Trying my best
TSA friendly is such a well needed option! Nice!
😁👍🏻 Thanks!
That bladeless build would be a perfect backup for travel. Perfect build gets the most use out of the size, and looks non threatening as well with stock scales
Nice built. Congratulation.
Thanks. 👍🏻😁
I really like the blade less option. I think the 58mm has the coolest scales.
The bladeless Cybertool is a handy toolset for sure. I was really pleased with how those scales turned out too. 👍🏻😁
Very nice... have you ever made a 93 lumberjack with the alox handles?
Or microfarmerX ? With the alox handels?
Thanks.
I have never made those models, but both are pretty straight forward. So, they would not be difficult to make. 👍🏻

Love the bladeless cybernox with scissors and wrench-if only they made that option from the mothership!
Brillant, you work Is excelent, really . I liked all the video. Very, very well. Regards Jorge since Buenos Aires .
Thanks a bunch. I greatly appreciate it.
Love the blades tool set. How much would that configuration cost but stonewashed with flamed titanium scales
Do you mean the bladeless toolset?
@Fit to Survive yes sorry
@@leedavies4725 It would cost around $300 depending on the titanium scales that you choose.
@Fit to Survive thank you will be after one soon 🤙

Try heating your acid in a hot water bath. I have found that the warmer acid gives me better results.
Serrated small blade is genius! Thought I had tampered with SAK’s for the last time…obviously not 😂
😁 It does give it some extra utility.
So Yea I want all of them haha😂 The mini champ would make for a killer office carry, I carry a standard or alox one myself. The blade-less cyber tool would make a perfect bag multi tool.
Thanks! I completely understand you. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the double Honeybee blades, but after I made it - I really do. 😁
is the normal steel fine for camping
Very nice man! I love you work!
Do you sell them?? 😎
Thank you! I appreciate it. I do accept custom orders. Check out my website for information on how to order one. www.f2scustoms.com
Show them all, best decision 👍🏻
Trying my best, thank you!
So I don’t get my hopes up you should include end price on each build..these would be amazing when I win the powerball…
Yeah, I should have mentioned the cost for them.
Have you done anything with creakote to prevent corrosion?
I have not had the opportunity to work with cerakote yet. I would like to get into it, or at least find local shop that can do it.
Do u know the new victrorinox swiss spirit box cutter? that replace can opener. Are u able to source the box opener?
Yes, I am familiar with it. I have ordered one, I will be working with it later.
@@FittoSurvive want to ask: is the 93mm SAK use the same size as the 91mm can opener or 83mm can opener?
@@yanlucky7 The can opener is very similar in each size. The pivot bore is different though.
Is G10 strong and stiff enough to replace the steel liners? How long will they last?
G10 is very strong. The original liners are actually just aluminum. So, the G10 outperforms the original aluminum liners any day. 😁👍🏻
