My modded LM Charge Tti

This is my new edc multitool, my modded LM Charge TTi:




The first thing I did was loosening the screws a litte bit to make it easy to flick the pliers open onehanded (never understood the need for special onehanded pliers) while still retaining enough tension to keep it neatly closed. Then I exchanged the plier head with a wave second gen, because i don't like the cap crimpers.

I also got rid of the integrated lanyard ring to get a second quick release point. I want to be able to use the pocket clip at the same time as the lanyard.

I added a thumb stud to the serrated blade, i tend to use this more than the straight edge (to save the edge for finer work). It was originaly meant for a buck, but after some time on a wheel grinder, it doesent snag on my pocket. I made it almost half the original size, and only kept the grooves on the side where my thumb is actually gonna catch them. This was something i only wanted to try out for fun, and i suspected i would take it off after a couple of days, but i really like it and think i will be keeping it.

I also switched the large bit holder (it broke, entirely my foult) and tried to anodize the titanium scales. This doesn't show in the pictures, i only tried one scale, and my method (involving several 9 V batteries) didn't work that well, i only got a slightly purple color before the voltage dropped to low. I will try again as soon as i get som better way to get the right voltage over time. I want them bright blue.

If it is doable i want to try to fit in a wire stripping tool from S.O.G. (maybe replace the large skrewdriver). Maybe also switch the pivots with something thats not security torx, and maybe with lubrication grooves in them.

I also want to add a small harpoon cannon for whaling

Most of these mods i "stole" from Metropolicity.

PS: i think i'm not supposed to direct-link pictures, but nothing else seemed to work with image shack this time

Here is the newest modification; i made the large screwdriver into an awl. I know it's not perfect, but i made it using a grinder holding the LM by hand, since I don't have a mill or sophisticated tools. I tried it, and it works really well for wood. I might try to make it smoother and with less visible tool marks, but that's only cosmetics, not function. I will try to polish it using valve grinding paste (it's the only thing lying around, and the store is closed until tomorrow, but i cant wait).

and the other side:

Thanks! I will try it out in the following days to see how it holds up, it got pretty warm during grinding, so i hope i didn't mess up the tempering... For now it feels like it's as strong as before. I have seen a lot of people drilling a hole in their home made awls, like the ones on the factory made ones, but i will never use this awl for sewing, and i feel it would weaken the steel too much and I'm not sure i would be able to get through without de-tempering the blade, and I don't think I have the knowledge or skills to get the right temper again.

The awl has worked wonders, and I have only been sharpening it once. I used it mostely for plastic, wood and plaster. If i had a mill I would definitely make it hollow-ground, but this works for me. I really wish I had some real metal-workin tools though.
