I'd take a Ranger 57 and swap the silly curved blade for a small whittling blade. I'd add a gripper for a replaceable 4mm ferro rod (slot in like the toothpick) and add the tweezers

The ranger is almost all the knife I need most of the time - one hand open locking blade of proper Bushy size, bigger saw than most SAKs, tin opener etc. it does need the little blade though.

I wonder if anyone could make me one up....and a pouch...with a firesteel, small compass and silver grip tweezers....

Red,

Have a look over on SOSAK, here, as there's specialists that can build SAK's to personal spec'.

Their workmanship is beautiful, as seen on the custom builds I've looked at.

I really like my alox farmer. Perfect... or at least it was until my mate snapped the tip off prying wood apart... So I more or less stopped using it, and now i've got the confidence to reshape the tip I cant find the blighter! Also had a trekker, but found I wasn't using it as I favoured the smaller size of the farmer, so I gave it to a friend who is really into outdoor stuff but didn't have a decent knife. Now he's got a clipper and a spoon knife too!

Send it back they will replace/repair it under the lifetime Warranty
