I too would like a pioneer/soldier with scissors instead of the awl. And if someone could cut slots for tweezers/toothpick, that would be awesome.
You would have to cut part of the aluminum away but I think it could be done. I'm just wondering if the holes would line up between the alox slabs and the two piece back spring needed for the corkscrew. Not sure.
I think at least adding scissors would be pretty easy. You could just remove the wood saw from a Farmer and replace it with scissors. Does anyone know if it would be possible to put Wenger scissors in a Vic?

I've built several custom SAKS, you have to take care in selecting the correct parts to match the scales/frames. I have built several Pioneers with Scissors, but have yet to add the corkscrew. The issue is that standard 91MM springs are a bit short ~2mm for the pioneer frame so the challenge would be to find or make the correct backspring to support the corkscrew.
ScottK thanks for the info. I really only wanted the Alox because of its sturdyness but I checked out your site and am really digging the tactical saks. Wouldn't mind one that matched my PT. I'll email you with details of what I would like, I'd like to hear what you think.
Go over to SOSAK (www.sosakonline.com) and look up a guy by the nickname of "Scibeer." He lives out in CA and puts together custom SAKs. He put a pair of scissors in a Vic Farmer for me. It's my favorite EDC SAK.
