Stuart thanks for your thoughts. I'd would love to see a picture of the changes you've made for some inspiration.

Here you go mate, the only change I've made so far is to alter the small blade to a wharncliff style to make it better for doing fine detail when woodcarving (it's a great little kohlrosing knife) and for fiddly/delicate jobs in general.

Cheers,

Stuart.

For bushcrafting I like to square off the underside of the can opener to use as a firesteel scraper. I don't do this on any SAK that has a woodsaw, because I just use the saw spine as a striker.

Dave

risk of closing on your finger must be quite high with that?

This is one of the advantages of the alox models with the awl/reamer that deploys out the end and has a chisel grind on it.

I have to admit there's a knack to holding the saw itself, rather than the knife handle, in a sort of strangled hold.
