Custom passenger

[315]

My photos are terrible, but I couldn’t wait to share so you get what you get. Spikediesel found a NOS Explorer and did a scissors delete to basically make me a Passenger. I ended up going with blue plus scales. I think this will make a perfect traveling knife.

Thanks guys. When I was thinking about one of these I wanted something I would carry in my pocket. For me, anything more than 3 layers just seems to big. Since I rarely use scissors, and I have them on either a Classic or Rambler on my keys, the tools on the passenger seemed about perfect for a road trip or vacation knife. The pen gives me an extra little item I never carry on my person, same with the pin. But when you need one, they are needed now.
Now, if I could just find someone to make me a large Lumberjack, with bottom tools(corkscrew and awl) and add a magnifying glass and inline Phillips, that might very well be the perfect SAK

Very nice. Much like a Spartan Lite with the magnifier instead of a weak light, and a better Phillips.

Now the question is which is better: the discontinued Passenger or the Cybertool S? They both have the same tools except for the center layer. The Passenger has the inline combination #1/#2 phillips and the magnifier, while the Cybertool S has the 4mm bit driver with 4 double sided bits.

I'd love to hear from someone who has both.

Nice custom, by the way. Thanks for sharing.

I'd love to hear from someone who has both.

Having both and a few of each doesn’t actually make me qualified to answer. Lol.

I do not really have a Passenger in the EDC rotation or set aside for even possible use. Most are actual Alpineers and early clip points. But I do have a lot of larger knives and thinner mods that I do carry which have the mag/phillips layer. So no need for a Passenger to me, despite having them in my collection.

But I do have a CT-S that I use which is a bit beat up to harvest parts from…so I use it whenever my original CT34 isn’t nearby. Used it the other day on some customer-assembled furniture.

Both are useful. Up to the user to figure out which is ‘better’. I suppose for three layered knives, I prefer the Combo Tool and a ‘Compact’ format.
