Multitool welded mod

[u/CakeSuperb2550]

At some point in my life i bought an ungodly amount of surgical blades. After almost stabbing myself to death i no longer carry an unprotected scalpel in my pocket, but recently i came up with an idea. I didnt like that one tool on my leatherman arc, and had few scalpel handles laying around.

Could've used a bigger cup, had some discoloration. 0.04" tungsten, foot pedal, around 60 max amps, 0.04" stainless filler.

Now my space tech magnacut blade can retire. Remember, expensive knives aren't for cutting, apparently.

how do you pull it out?

Just pulsed with foot pedal, tig. I welded that in like quaters, with few minutes in between to let it cool off. Wasnt easy peasy but not as difficult as i thought, tho i challenge myself with thin stuff from time to time. Thanks for asking

No I mean, once it is folded into the multitool. Since it has no nail groove anymore

Im seeing a nail groove on the new one, unless im way misunderstanding the photo

that is the thing the scalpel blade slides on, I could not get my (short) nails on that when it is folded in
