Good resource on basic modification- to disassemble and put back together:

Tools/supplies to modify:

Brass rods 2.2mm:

Brass rods 2.5mm:

Sak Plus Scales:

Rivets:
I found a seller on Ebay. Supply is often limited, so may be sold out; keep checking back. Otherwise, Ebay most likely remains the best place to look for other sellers. If you are careful you can reuse the existing rivets.

So glad you did this video! I feel inspired.

I have some thoughts for you about the pliers. I initially thought that they were not useful, but here is what I've used them for:

Picking up dead bugs.
Picking up live bugs, but be careful because apparently some kinds of bugs can disattach their leg and crawl up your arm. This turns out to incur damage to the Swiss army knife for some reason.Something to do with the velocity with which it hits the ground I believe.
Picking up dead mice.
Picking up broccoli that jumps out of the pan and now is sitting too close to the cooking fire on your gas stove. Hopefully you washed it after the mice and bugs.
Picking cotton out of a medicine bottle when it has gotten shoved in too deeply.
Stripping wire after you cut the insulation
Magneting your rovyvon a 8 flashlight to
Pulling little splintery pieces off of a log when you need some tiny tinder to start a fire.
I hear it's good for getting cactus barbs out of dogs, but I've never had to do that
Getting a tea bag out of the water when it fell in with its string or if it didn't have a string

I would be thrilled for a step by step. I tried this once and could not peen the rods to save my life!

What is the point in removing the blades ?

Victorinox pliers are not useful for me at all similar to the small plier based Leathermans. I EDC a surge and compared to those pliers the SAK pliers might as well be tweezers
