I didn't really intend to start a collection but here I am haha
Some honorary mentions:
The opinel is one of my very first knives and has been with me for over 30 years.
Below the opinel is a birth-year 91mm Golfer, which I recently bought because... why not. Came with original box and seems to be unused.
Modded Leatherman Rebar for more heavy duty work.
Hey guys, just showing of my latest build: a Yeoman built from a Compact.
I recently bought two used Compacts for 50€ and while one was almost as new the other was absolutely filthy and scratched up.
Since I had to disassemble it anyway to clean it I decided to go for a Yeoman build with some parts I had left over from a donor champion.
The scales and Victorinox lanyard logo are custom 3d printed parts which I'll probably touch up in the future. I kinda dig the green color but I don't like the 3d printed look so I'll sand the scales down a bit and put a clear vanish on which has yielded great results in the past.
The scales are my go-to custom model, featuring all plus scale tools with an additional slot and a LED light.
Things to improve the next time: I think I peened the middle pin too tight as the combo tool scratches the blade when closing it.
Hey guys this is my modded Leatherman Rebar. It's the result of my search for the perfect multitool for me. It started with a Leatherman Bond, which I still kinda love, especially it's size and how it felt in hand - however it didn't cover all the tools I wanted. I then started looking for used Leathermans and settled on the Rebar to which I then added all the tools I could fit.

Hey guys, last time I showed of a "Fieldmaster Compact" that I built as a gift and I was referencing my own EDC Compact as inspiration, so I thought I'd show you that one too.
Two layers is really the sweet-spot for me personally so I wanted to keep it as slim as it is but at the same time I wanted to add some more useful tools - because if there's still space why waste it?
The corkscrew had to go, I've never found myself in a situation where I said "damn if only I had a corcscrew with me.." A phillips screw driver on the other hand is very useful to me. It's not great as a backside tool but it's good enough to change the occasional toy battery or other small stuff.
So here is the result, a Compact with phillips screwdriver and custom "plus plus" scales including a small Leatherman screwdriver in the "hidden slot" and a small LED light on the other side.
Because I don't like the 3d printed look I sanded the scales down a bit and sprayed on some cheap clear vanish. Even though the blue-ish grey filament is only my prototyping filament I really liked how it turned out so I kept it.
I've been carrying it for about half a year now and I'm quite happy with it.
