Explorer mod

My beloved explorer had the perfect toolset except the nail file so I sacrificed the small blade that never got used. Ground the edge off, broke the edges all around, and hit one side with a diamond bit to rough it up to about a 1200 grit and then superglued 300 grit on the other side. It’s now more functional than the factory nail file

Understood. We gotta use what we got on hand most times. I liked your approach.

In true SAK style, using what you have when you need it.
