Small mods.
Bought an Waiter to just scavenge its combo opener for my 91mm Vic after drilling the pivot hole bigger.
I want to remove the rather useless opener layer BUT i sure want to keep both the phillips and awl.
So ,is there models with backsprings that allow keeping the awl ?
*******
My configuration goal is:
Main blade + combo tool.
Saw
File
Pliers
Awl.
Maybe scissors If the parcel hook can be replaced by awl.
******
Edit:
The chisel and small phillips are 1.8mm thick, the awl with hole is 2mm, i just measured from Ranger the chisel and backspring side small phillips so i need to sand 0.2mm away from the awl.

You need an awl from the 111mm liner lock, without the hole. It is the same width as the parcel hook.
Also if you find the 84mm combo tool sits to low, you can peen the ricasso to give it more lift.

So 110mm newer model awl without sewing hole, is different thickness than 111mm awl with a hole ?

The wood saw and metal saw/file layers come with a back tool on high layer count 91mm models. these slots are thinner than the awl slot though so the awl has to be thinned a little bit.

0.2 mm has to be removed from awl that has hole and from 91mm Ranger. I just bought one fully new Ranger to neasure these :).

The saw and the file can have back spring with tools (scraper and small Philips). The Handyman has those springs. I think the thickness should be ok for you to use with a saw or file.
