The darned EzAwl needles are longer than I remembered, so I had to modify on the fly. One consequence was that I used the scrap of cut-off handle as material to make a hollowed, knurled cap. Not much room for me to slip a lanyard in the cap now, but it's possible.<br><br>Added info: Tossed these on the balance. The blade collet and collet sleeve are not altered - "factory weight". Cap and body are machined from original handle.<br><br>Cap - Aluminum, 24 grains (1.6 grams)<br>Body - Aluminum, 112 grains (7.3 grams)<br>collet - Aluminum, 41 grains (2.7 grams)<br>sleeve - Steel, 87 grains (5.6 grams)<br>saw blade - steel, 63 grains (4.1 grams)<br>guard - Aluminum, 14 grains (0.9 grams)<br><br>Total - 341 grains or 0.78 ounces Av. (22.1 grams)<br><br>As I said, fairly lightweight. I imagine that two blades and the needles will bring total weight to about one ounce (28.3 grams) or a little less - I will post final weight later. TGA<br><br>Here are a few pics for now - these should give the general idea of where it's heading:<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>The knurling on the body is so-so for looks - I did not want to crimp down too hard and alter the inside diameter of the body. The knurling on the cap is full-depth.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Scouter Tom
