Subject says it all.  I have a few 84mm knives on hand... and a few on the way... Now, I find that I just can't bring myself to break up an otherwise good-quality knife.

If anyone has a 84mm SAK with a good scissors layer (but the rest of the knife is donor-quality) and is willing to part with it, please let me know.

Ah, a dilemma I often find myself in.
Only good users here I'm afraid..........but have you seen Syph007's thread on 93mm scissors into a 84mm frame???

Yeah, I have seen and I might like to try it myself someday, but you kind of need 84mm parts to use as a template.  Its kind of hard to grind things to shape without something to copy.

Side idea: I have a friend with access to a CMM machine, I think it would be nice to use it to accurately measure the 84mm scissors back spring first so that it could be reproduced for use with the 93mm scissors mod... Again, need at least one apart to do that too.  I remember Syph saying somewhere the back spring is more valuable than the scissors.

I'll keep trolling eBay.

Another option is grafting in Wenger scissors.

It's a bit more involved, but the end result looks like it was meant to be there.
