But I can't be without a pen & tweezers, more so tweezers. I don't like having multiple of the same tool, so two SAKs would be repetitive to me. I also don't want a swiss card. Ideas?

If you get an Alox Pioneer and a basic cellidor-handled Classic, it won’t be two of the same tool, because they’re different sizes, and they each have features the other doesn’t. And why not just carry a Bic pen in your pocket? Or instead of the Classic, maybe a Manager (is that the one with the pen?).

Custom scales ? I believe there are several makers who can sort you out with both . Swiss Bianco might be a good place to start off the top of my head
 
They are indeed. I know there's titanium scales around with tools, hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge of possible mods will chime in .
 
I think the only viable option for now is by custom mod/scales. Look up Syph007 on MTO, he does wonderful and innovative scale work for Alox.
 
I had the same issue ( toothpick and tweezers for me ) and just decided to get a cadet and pair it with a classic in my watch pocket.
Then I got a pocket toothpick and started to spit it with a LM micra LM squirt or Sebertool M4.
I would try maybe pairing one with a small multitool and a Fisher bullet or stowaway pen.
You'll have pliers which you won't have on an Alox Vic, and if it doesn't have tweezers the pliers on said tools are often precise enough ( go American though, the little Chinese Gerbers are garbage)

I hadn't thought about a mini multi! I own a leatherman charge tti, vic swisstool & spirit, swisschamp, minichamp, hiker and huntsman lit . I think the uncle bills tweezers may be purchased by me. I have a bullet pen already lol
 
View attachment 1334951 View attachment 1334952 View attachment 1334953 View attachment 1334954 Here is a 91mm Ti SAK with a swinging tool drawer containing a pen, tweezers, FerroCerium rod, and wooden tooth pick.
I much prefer the T-PIK Stringless Dental Flosser to the SAK pick. It is curved and tapered and can push and pull to dislodge stuck food. I also prefer the Uncle Bill's tweezers to SAK tweezers. They have a finer point and can exert more pinching force.
My Money Clip (the red knife) has a scissors and a real file. My 91mm Custom Ti Waiter has a saw and skeletonized handle.
I usually carry the tweezers and pick on a caddy. The Money Clip carries inside of the bills in a pocket. The Waiter is in another pocket, but I am considering putting a pocket clip on it.
I am a pen collector, so I carry at least 2 pens in shirts with 2 breast pockets so they don't beat on each other. The drawer knife has a pocket clip, but I seldom carry it.
 
I carry my Pioneer X in a slip and I can put tweezers in it. When I carry my Cadet I carry a Classic SD or Jet Setter.
