I just installed the latest version of the scalpel holder - a fantastic addition to Arc, and an incredible testament to your craftsmanship and precision. Thanks so much, Kristen.

I asked for just this on Reddit a few months back, and you certainly did not disappoint.

This one has been a serious challenge. There are so many nuances and I had to scrap a lot of parts along the way.

I'm glad to hear you're happy with it. I've made a number of design adjustments that I think improve the look. I've also refined my finishing processes a bit to bring it to a nice polish.

In daily life, I find more useful a scalpel rather than a can opener. Very nice Mr. Kristen. However, I was expecting to see how the saw blade fit well after you added the extra shim... Nice video.

Great video can’t wait for mine to come 🔥🔥

Yes….you came through…waiting for mine to arrive soon!…thanks for posting…gives me sometime to study it..

You're welcome. It was your request that nudged me to make it happen. I'm working on making a video section on my website. I just got these latest scalpel holders in. I'm working on finishing them up and assembling the packets now.

Awesome work

Ha! In my experience, Leatherman will still warranty tools as long as you put everything back to stock before sending it in. This mod is 100% reversible. No tools were harmed in the making of this video. ;)

huh

probably should've watched this before attempting, now all my parts are loose on my desk haha

Followed your install, and my scalpel barely hits the pliers and bends a little bit. Do you think I should put a spacer right there? Or just not worry about it? Yours seems to clear the pliers fine.

If the edge of the blade does not hit anything, it should not be a problem. Scalpel blades have enough flex to bend out of the way. Feel free to email me some photos of it though.

My Arc wouldn't hold close after reassembly, turns out my magnet got flipped.

I've had that happen. Just when you think you're finished. 😅
