Ok, here' s a funny little mod I did to an older Victorinox Classic of mine:

First I simply switched the battered red scales with some newer blue ones of a Victorinox Classic SD(the regular classic model doesn' t have the screwdriver tip on the nailfile btw. and only comes in red scales).
Then came the real mod: Since the regular Classic doesn' t have the screwdriver tip that the SD version has, I just took the Classic and rubbed the tip of the nailfile on an old whetstone of mine until it was just as flat as the screwdriver tip of my SD models.
Then I rubbed the sides of the new screwdriver on the edge of the whetstone until they were almost identical to the regular screwdriver tip on my Classic SD.
Pictured is the Wenger version of the Vic Classic(which doesn' t have my screwdriver mod YET, the modded Classic and a Victorinox Rally






I tested my new screwdriver on ALOT of screws and can' t actually tell any performance differences between mine and the SD models(and the pictured Rally):thumbup:

Excuse the crappy pics and tell me what you think!
 
I've done the same mod to a Vic Cadet, used a file and diamond stone. Can't remember exactly why, maybe I was just looking for something to tinker with.

I guess I didn't need the nail file tip so much and it became easier to reach small screws in confined spaces when there's an extra driver tip at the end of the nail file bit, in addition to the one in the can opener.
