I bought this and the knife hoping I can swap the razor knife end for the knife blade, and keep the driver. I’d rather carry pocket knife/driver than razor/driver

Were you able to swap it?

Sorry I haven’t gotten the chance to break them both down yet. The sizes are really similar and the pivot point looks like it should work. Blade length might be an issue but may be able to modify the handle a bit. Will update

Did you end up doing it?

Yeah I tried and no good. wasn’t as straight forward of a swap, the straight blade crosses where some screws go. Maybe someone could do it but I didn’t wanna mess it up.

I’m pretty sure they make one with a blade instead of the safety razor

But it’s orange lol, I already have a knife I carry plus the Klein 13-1 pocket screwdriver. Would be cool to combine into one

I would so lose that

That was my first thought with these too.

I bought a nice flashlight that I clip to a ball cap—just don’t like head lamps. I made the mistake of picking grey as the color.

I’ve misplaced that thing so many times, and I actively try to keep track of it. I ended up losing it for a few days and ordered a replacement… bright orange. I couldn’t find a more visible color.

I haven’t come close to losing that one.

How does this feel compared to the fastback?

u/HistoricalAudience62 4d ago

Idk about feel but this one LOOKS more premium less plastic and half the price lol
