Show off your Sak mod's!

[pfrsantos]

I see you've started giving your hands the same distressed-stone-washed look as your blades 

   

And so true 

As long as he doesn't get alox scales on them, it's all good!

a different solo

I like that.  What's the CF like to work with?  I can get an 8" x 6" piece for a reasonable amount in the UK and quite fancy giving something like that a go.

Used up some leftovers and made another 91mm Solo.

Main blade on a Scissors backspring.
Spalted Silky Oak scales.

  I never worked with CF but I've heard of some folks that had an allergic reaction to it (obviously not everybody will react the same way), and is good to wear a mask because as far as I understand it can be carcinogenic. Not much help but that is all I know about it.

[hiraethus]

Repurposed my Deluxe Modeler as I wasn't using the pliers - added a saw layer to make a Ranger plus mag/phillips.
Still 6 layers but fits much more easily in my pocket and goes really well with a Skeletool or Style PS.

Thanks WWW. After working with some G10 I know a mask is definitely a good idea.

I like this one!  I bought a beat up Ranger that I haven't decided what to do with yet, trying to find the best way to use the saw/file.

Laser or hand engraved? Either way....

Here's my second mod. I had some parts left over from the SwissChamp I used to mod a Compact into a Yeoman, and had been planning this "companion" for it.

It's all teeth and jaws, so I think I'll call it the Orthodontist.

[captain spaulding]

I really like the tool selection on that one. Good job.

Perfect for unfriendly blade area.

Now that's an unusual toolset    - A real workman's companion
I'd call it the Benchmate and have it on my workbench (if I had one  )
But I like your name better - Much wittier
Although I would not like to pull a tooth with those pliers 

[PTRSAK]

Bought two Executives a while back each with a broken backspring.
Pulled both of them apart, picked the best of the tools and built up one knife. The blade has been sharpened, but not to the point of losing its shape and the other tools have some wear marks, but it gives it a bit of that anitque, "olde worlde" charm

It's an early model 74mm with 1.6mm pins rather than the 2mm of the later ones.
Also has the old single leaf, black scissor spring.
Bolsters are 7075 T651 Aluminium alloy and the scale inlays are Truestone Turquoise.






 

[enki_ck]

Nice work and cool to see more Turquoise models.

[papercut]

Very keen!

[Nhoj]

Nice work!

[ironraven]

THAT is a gentleman's knife.

[willfcc]

With the intriguing "discovery" of the Vic Engineer, I was curious if the in-line Phillips SD could be modded into a Technician SD like some have done with the can opener?

[ironraven]

Grinding it down to be more like the glasses screwdriver on the wengers? Hardest part would be not pooching the temper, but you'd have to keep the nail nick or reshape the liner and scale so you can get to the tip- easy to make, but not sure it would be user friendly.

[ivan_partizan]

Just to be different I've taken some custom scales (thanks to Jerm) that were designed to be used with screwed pivots and "devolved" them to peened pins.

From what material you do it?
