Anyone mod Swiss Army knives?

SVTFreak · Mar 19, 2025

So, I picked up a Cybertool M at a bit of a steal. I always carry a multitool at work and been thinking of adding carrying one elsewhere. But, none fit the bill perfectly. So, the cybertool is close. I’m thinking of removing the large blade and replacing with a file, and maybe even the small blade to replace with a nail file. Who is the go to for doing or even learning Swiss army mods so that it is as good as factory? I am handy with tools (I build cars after all) but I’m not perfect lol.

I'm rooting for you !
Maybe post also in the Traditionals forum and Multitool forum .

I have and use a whole lot of these. For file / saw I can recommend the SA Ranger and I like the Mountaineer size wise / compact .

Good luck with this and keep us posted if successful. I travel (via air) a lot and like to always carry a bladeless multitool, but the pickings are slim. I'd love to be able to remove sharp blades from a SAK and replace them with something dull.

For the record, my main EDC was the now discontinued Leatherman Style PS, but I've switched to the NexTool Mini Multitool - 9 in 1.

JDieseljoe69 builds them out. I haven’t seen him on for a year though.

Send him a DM, worst is he won’t reply back.

Thanks. Might try that.

In the Multi-Tool forum there is a thread on changing the tools and other mods. Might be a place to start.

Spikediesel might be able to help or at least give some direction.

Thread 'SAK Mods! Post your pics, questions and ideas'

Let this be a thread for anyone to show off a Mod they built or had built, ask a question about modding, or share modding ideas and dreams! Hopefully mods fall into their own category of multi tool/multi purpose knives so this can stay here and not be moved to tinkering.

here’s a few to get the ball rolling!
