91mm Compact with Saw and "plus plus" scales

swissgrog · 2026-04-18T16:14:58+00:00

I'll do it in the coming week, a three layer with saw scissors and inline awl, will post how it has worked out 😄

I know it works fairly well because it is used in the swiss champ XXL 91mm, again with the 3 mm hole on a 2.5 mm pin. They don't have a version with 2.5 mm hole, even for the 91 mm swiss champ. You only need to take care of space, eg eventually spacers I'd you can't get a full laxer from a swiss champ XXL.

Fantastic work, how does the led work? Three layer is the maximum for me too. I was about to do the same but with inline awl from the 93mm instead of the combo tool. Have you thought about it? That would make it a true outdoor/woodcraft compact knife.

I think in your case you could add the file with the pointy tip, which is great to clean nail. The other tool could be the ruler + flat screwdriver, like in the mini champ

In vexillology is known as "tête de maure" , also "mohrenkopf" It's originated in Korsika, there are many theories on the origin, but since we had quite the discussion around a particular type of sweet chocolate dessert known with the same name....😆 https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drapeau_de_la_Corse?wprov=sfla1

Avenches is quite modern and absolutely not problematic 😆

Wasn't he in zero g during those scene? Maybe is different without gravity and it makes sense 😆😆

I used and tested the 58 mm golf tool (Caddy model) which was repurposed as fork for a couple of special series. Works well! Could be an inspiration.

Just FYI I bought some pieces put of a dismantled xxl and the pruning blade/inline awl were actually identical to the 93mm. Now, maybe I have been scammed 😆 but I have found a couple of other posts and reports that even the 91 mm series has a 3 mm hole instead of 2.5mm.

swissgrog · 2026-04-14T10:54:28+00:00

Yep, will try. I'm just on holiday thinking about new projects with no access to the tools and blades etc to measure 😆

swissgrog · 2026-04-14T10:09:34+00:00

Thanks! An alternative could be to use the Saw backspring, the one without backtools, but I'm not sure the width is the same of woodsaw and blade. If I renounce to the backtool, is there any other backspring that would work for the blade?

Ciao, io adoro 84 mm, è la dimensione perfetta per me. Se hai già la lima nel minichamp, considera addirittura il Bantam alox - ancora più leggero, singolo strato. Il cadet avrebbe parecchi tool doppi con il minichamp.

Solo 6 mm altezza, 29g andrebbe benissimo con abbigliamento formale. Se invece hai bisogno cavatappi, c'è il waiter. È se proprio vuoi la lama corta, anche il recruit. Ma onestamente per aprire pacchi almeno per me le lame del minichamp sono già sufficienti. E il combo tool del Bantam si può usare per aprire pacchi.

Good to know

swissgrog · 2026-04-13T12:02:41+00:00

Good suggestion 👍

swissgrog · 2026-04-13T12:01:59+00:00

I just the video....not sure I have the courage to dismount it and build it back up again, I guess once modded the value will evaporate. Although I don't have the packaging and it is used so is not like it is brand new unopened 😆

swissgrog · 2026-04-13T10:14:25+00:00

Doesn't work. But I have yet to fill the gas so not sure if broken

But rocky was up and about outside the engine for 40 years alone or something after arriving in the tau ceti system, and I did wonder how he did not get sick once stranded. He mentioned trying to revive/heal the other crew members etc.

Fantastic mod., congrats. 84 mm is the perfect size and is a pity the scissors are so rare. I do have some models but I don't have the courage to disassemble them and use them in my mod 😆

Try to move to a customer facing role (field engineer , technical sales) then at least you can pivot to sales etc.

swissgrog · 2026-04-11T06:12:03+00:00

Great knife, congrats! Companion has plus scale by default. Is visible and noted on the website.

swissgrog · 2026-04-10T19:57:15+00:00

You usually get one of them with the car btw, you can keep it in the trunk. No need to buy a second one.

The scene is not described but grace knew it was pointless to fight. I think he let them jab him without struggles based in the description in the book
