Hello,
I've never modded any SAK before but I think it is time. I own Pioneer X, Harvester, Electrician and Companion Slim. I wanted every special tool within "normal" handy thickness, thus I won't go over 3 layers. I know this is impossible to fit all I want in one folder but most of them will. The question is if I can? Why?
I wonder if I can put Pruning Blade instead of vile Bottle Opener. I know it will be backwards with nail tick inside but it will be next to scissors' pivot so pot of place to open. Can I use a backspring with two long even ends, same as the one for blade and reamer? I did notice that the spring end under Pruning Blade is probably the same as from Blade.
Using the same spring, can I also put Electrician and Pruning blades in one layer?

I got them knives still untouched and won't do anything until being sure any mod I want will work flawlessly.
 
The pruning and Electrician blades are the same thickness, but both are thinner than the main blade and require a catch bit to share a spring with it. You *might* be able to put them both on one spring if you use catch bits on both ends, or thinned the spring to fit them. I've never tried it, so I can't say for certain. Replacing the bottle opener with a pruning blade is another of those "maybe" things. It's been a few years since I had any apart.
