The Complete Magnetic System for Versa58

The Versa58 Magnetic Kit unlocks magnetic capability across the entire Versa58 platform. Build standalone tools without a SAK, add magnetic quick-swap to your Swiss Army Knife, or both.

MagMount plates attach to Versa58 scales, enabling them to magnetically connect to each other for standalone carry OR to snap onto MagDock for magnetic quick-swap on your SAK.

MagDock is a Versa58 scale that attaches mechanically to your 58mm Swiss Army Knife. Its embedded magnets create a docking point for other Versa58 scales that have MagMount plates attached, enabling instant magnetic swapping and satisfying fidget-friendly connections.

Together, they give you three ways to carry: mechanical attachment (default), standalone magnetic builds (pen+light combos, keychain tools), and magnetic quick-swap on your SAK (instant access, removable work light, fidget satisfaction).

Important: Versa58 scales need MagMount plates to connect magnetically to MagDock. Without MagMount, scales will not attach properly to MagDock and could fall off.

Compatible with 58mm Swiss Army Knives with Cellidor scales.
Not compatible with Alox models.

MagMount Only

Includes:

2x MagMount plates (opposite polarity)

Best for: Users who want standalone magnetic builds (scales connecting to each other without a SAK) or who already own MagDock and need additional MagMount plates.

How the Magnetic System Works

Three ways to use Versa58:

Method 1: Mechanical Attachment (default)
Attach Versa58 scales directly to your SAK using the patent pending mechanical attachment. This is the default method, no magnets required.

Method 2: Standalone Magnetic Builds (MagMount)
Attach MagMount plates to two Versa58 scales so they magnetically snap together. Build pen+light combos, clip+storage setups, or any pairing for keychain or pocket carry—no SAK needed. Fidget factor is strong.

Method 3: Magnetic SAK Attachment (MagDock + MagMount)
Attach MagDock to your SAK, then attach MagMount plates to other scales. Those scales now snap magnetically to MagDock on your Swiss Army Knife for instant swapping and fidget-friendly connections.

Why Add Magnetic Capability?

Satisfying fidget factor: Crisp magnetic snap and smooth rotation feel great in the hand
Quick-access functionality: Pop off Pocket Flare to use as magnetic work light, remove Flash Drive for instant file transfer
No tools required, fully reversible

Standalone versatility: Build compact keychain tools without carrying your full SAK
Instant reconfiguration: Swap modules magnetically in under a second

When to Use the Magnetic System

MagDock (on your SAK):

Quickly detach Pocket Flare to use as magnetic work light during repairs or camping
Remove Flash Drive for instant file transfer without removing entire SAK from pocket
Swap modules based on daily tasks (pen for office, light for outdoor use)
Enjoy satisfying magnetic fidget interaction throughout the day

MagMount (standalone builds):

Build compact pen+light keychain combo for minimal carry days
Create clip+storage setup for gym bag or travel kit
Pair any two scales for purpose-built tools without SAK bulk
TSA-friendly carry (leave SAK at home, bring magnetic tool combo)

Important Compatibility Information

MagDock requires MagMount to function properly.

Versa58 scales cannot attach directly to MagDock. They must have MagMount plates attached to connect magnetically. Without MagMount, scales will not align properly to MagDock and could fall off.

The system works like this:

MagDock attaches to SAK (creates magnetic dock)
MagMount attaches to scales (enables magnetic connection)
Scale + MagMount snaps to MagDock on SAK
For standalone builds: Two scales with MagMount plates snap together (no SAK needed)

How Versa58 Expands the 58mm Swiss Army Knife

Your 58mm Swiss Army Knife is already a highly capable compact tool.

Versa58 expands that capability with modular scales and accessories that integrate without permanent modification.

The Magnetic Kit adds instant-swap versatility and standalone build capability to that system.

The Swiss Army Knife remains the core platform. MagDock becomes the magnetic interface. Modules attach when needed and detach instantly.

Build Your Magnetic Setup

The Magnetic Kit works with all Versa58 scales:

Versa58 Pocket Flare Scale for quick-release magnetic lighting
Versa58 USB-C Flash Drive Scale for instant digital access
Versa58 Pen Scale for writing on the go

Versa58 Clip Scale for pocket carry and keychain versatility
Versa58 V Scale for multi-use storage slot

Frequently Asked Questions

Which configuration should I choose?
Complete Kit if you want both standalone builds and SAK magnetic capability. MagDock Only if you already own MagMount. MagMount Only if you want standalone builds or already own MagDock.

Can I use MagDock without MagMount?
No. MagDock requires MagMount plates on other scales to function. Scales cannot attach directly to MagDock.

How strong are the magnets?
Strong enough for secure daily carry, easy enough to separate intentionally. The magnetic connection is tuned for both functionality and satisfying fidget factor.

Can I still use standard mechanical attachment?
Yes. The magnetic system is optional. All Versa58 scales attach mechanically by default. Magnetic capability is an add-on, not a replacement.

Will this damage my Swiss Army Knife?
No. MagDock installs like any other Versa58 scale with no permanent modification to your SAK.

What tools are required for installation?
None. MagDock attaches mechanically like other Versa58 scales. MagMount plates attach to scales in seconds.

Is this fidget-friendly?
Yes. The magnetic interface creates smooth, crisp, tactile interaction that many users find highly satisfying.

Can I add more MagMount plates later?
Yes. MagMount plates are sold separately if you need additional sets for more scales.
