Thread 'Finished my SAK "Carry Test" - unexpected result.'

Feb 2, 2025

I spent months looking for the perfect SAK. Always wanted a "real" SAK but never picked one up. Finally I decided on a Ranger with "Plus" scales (so I could get the pen). It arrived around Thanksgiving. Nov-Feb. It's been 5-6 weeks now of EDC. I concluded that the 5-layer mid-size SAK simply doesn't offer enough utility to offset the size, weight, and bulk. I'd been carrying a little keychain Classic SD for decades, and upgraded to the Classic Signature when it was released (now discontinued, I understand). IMHO the Classic Signature is far superior for EDC than the Ranger SAK...

What happened to ”meet my needs perfectly”?

Work in progress: wire clip on PioneerX

Since you do liners in G-10, you should try to make the springs in G-10 as well, could be a really cool light weight mod

I thought it was going to. But in practice, it just didn't work out. :-(

Just a simple wood scale replacement.

Copied over from maintenance forum where I posted originally:

Hello everyone. 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.

Id also like to maybe delete the little key ring. And maintain the plus scales.

in my opinion I’d swap out the knife layer for a file layer and switch the hook with one from a compact that has a nail file in it. This configuration would keep the same thickness. Deleting the keyring is pretty straightforward as well. Looks like you’re on the right track for a great mod that fits your needs.
