Simple Edc : Vic Minichamp Mod ?

i was thinking to add full serration to the emergency blade (so it become fully serated blade, kind of saw blade), and cut the cuticle pusher become a big flat head driver (or prying tool, or picker tool?)
but, are these good ideas ?

Simple Edc : Squirt PS4 Mod ?

Just finished adding V-grind and serration on the small knife of PS4.
It looks good, and works better

next will be adding Squirt S4 ruller (and nailfile) + squirt E4 3D Phillip head in place of PS4 file.

but the question then : should i do this mod in Squirt ES4 or in PS4 ?

well, basically i have both, PS4 and ES4 with torx assembly screws. this opens up a lot idea for modification. still thinking..thinking..

Simple Edc : Piranha vs Pocketwrench ?

After few months carrying and comparing both, i finally choose Pocketwrench as my wrench edc and let Piranha go.

Reason behind this decision were:
- my Piranha is metric one, with some limited wrench size, Pocketwrench can do more
- the open end of Piranha flexs with heavy use removing tight screw, Pocketwrench does not flex at all, thanks to the metal loop
- i never use bottle opener, but i do use (and like to bring) ruller
- i missed the double screwdriver bit in Piranha, but after adding a long double screwdriver bit (and rubber o-ring) in Pocketwrench, i never miss it at all
- prybar? rarely use it, yet Pocketwrench have it
- price? i can get two Pocketwrenches for a single Piranha
- size and thickness are the same
- Pocketwrench have better ergonomic when tightening screw, bigger screw = longer arm = more torque. On Piranha, this can vary depend on screw size.
- box ripper notch in Piranha was never mean to cut something. once i grind it sharp, then it work as it is. rarely use it as i always carry another pocket knife.

So, Bye-bye Piranha...
