Doh you are right, I forgot you wanted brass! Stay tuned for a brass liner swap out and update.

No hurries

Edit: actually I prefer nickelsilver. Brass is fine too.

crackout · **Reply #872 on:** February 20, 2013, 04:28:11 PM

You're aware that the stock liners are nickel silver?

Wootz · **Reply #873 on:** February 20, 2013, 05:10:43 PM

Thin stuff, I'm worried about that with an extra scissors layer.
Might as well go the extra mile and start over..

A blue cadet with scissors and a pocket clip! Knifekits sells these very small steel clips that just suit a cadet size perfect I think.

Robert, is that your anodizing? That blue is spectacular.

Beautiful mod too.

I get the impression that you are able to manufacture brass liners. Is that possibly true?

jrp316 · **Reply #875 on:** February 20, 2013, 06:22:11 PM

I believe that's the factory anodizing judging by the shield still being a contrasting color. All of Syph's anodized scales that I've seen here have been solid color throughout (though he may have a few irons in the fire for that too). Still, as I said before, that's a great shade of blue there.

Syph007 · **Reply #876 on:** February 20, 2013, 07:05:58 PM

Yep that's Vic blue. Mine is very slightly darker.

And yep I make my own brass and colored Al liners. Brass always looks nice IMO. The anodized colored liners look good for accent too. Black scales with red liners is an awesome look.

I have to agree. Black scales and Red liners looks tops.

I think Black Scales with Blue Liners would look great as well. Wouldn't stand out as much, but I think it would look good. Dang I need a Syph Custom.

Just for reference can you PM me a General price on a 91mm with scissors and colored scales (undecided on color) and colored liners (undecided on color)?

enki_ck · **Reply #878 on:** February 20, 2013, 08:22:25 PM

Now we're talking.

That looks really cool. I like darker shades of blue much more.

Syph007 · **Reply #885 on:** February 25, 2013, 01:25:03 AM

I finished my 100th custom alox SAK build tonight, and it is a big fat 5 layer monster! The spring tension in this sucker was significant. Popping the final scale on required my bench vice.

I tried so many different ways of fitting all these tools in, and this was the best I could come up with. Only the electrician blade is a bit hard to get to with the inside nail nick, but the rest are all good. I wanted to put the eblade with the phillips but it was way too long and hit the phillips head.

I will recommend the customer to sheath carry, or get reinforced pockets!

PTRSAK · **Reply #886 on:** February 25, 2013, 02:25:00 AM

What a beast.

Should have been some commemoration of being 100^th mod.

If you'd had your crystal ball working and predicted the colour of scales it was going to be you could have got #100 engraved on the panel before Anodizing.

Oh, and stunning work as usual.

captain spaulding · **Reply #887 on:** February 25, 2013, 02:32:18 AM

Congrats on the 100th.

Looks great as always. 5 layers is chunky.

That's one awlsome tool!

Looks a tad on the heavy side though.

Mr. Whippy · **Reply #889 on:** February 25, 2013, 03:25:37 AM

Wow! I would have never thought the bottle opener and inline Phillips would work together. Extremely cool!

crackout · **Reply #890 on:** February 25, 2013, 03:30:38 AM

I guess this thing eats other SAKs.

jrp316 · **Reply #891 on:** February 25, 2013, 04:05:35 AM

Did you end up using center drilled Ti rod with this one or your pivot trick?

Ah no I haven't tried that yet. I just went with my spliced pins again.

enki_ck · **Reply #893 on:** February 25, 2013, 07:34:39 PM

It's not THAT big.

You can do BIGGER.

It was getting a bit out of hand to try to find the main posts of this thread so I put together some links of highlights since I started. With enki's help it's now in the very first post of this thread.

It should help for some key point navigation.
