Hello and welcome BP
Well, howdy there. Actually it's not DEEPEST Mexico, just 1000 miles south of the border. Me and the little woman moved to wonderful Todos Santos, near the end of the Baja Peninsula 8 years ago and have been busily retired since then. I didn't know that I had a "carry" knife 'till I started reading this cool forum, but I've always has some kind of knife or other. Last 10-15 years it's been a Tinker or something similar.I freaked out a couple of months ago and started bidding on SAK lots on ebay, winning quite a few. Unfortunately these are all shipped to our old home place in Mendocino, CA, and I can't get my hot little hands on 'em for another month or so, when we travel back to the States. I've done a few experimental scale "makes" and found it's pretty fun and easy to do. I've been a woodbutcher for 50 something years and making scales out of our local mango, teak, eucalyptus, ironwood, etc. it really neato. It's challenging to be working with such a precision thing as a Swiss army knife - like, in thousandths rather than 1/16" as in wood. So, here's a question - where can I get the small parts that make up the interiors of these cool knives? I'm looking for 91mm parts like pliers, metal saw/file, brass studs (rivets?), etc. I know a helpful member is gonna say "just tear one apart and use those parts" which I may have to do but if possible would like to get those little bits and bobs without thrashing yet another descent knife. Thanks much, guys. I really enjoy this forum. Also, checkout the FaceBook forum called Cellidor SAK'sCheers -Yager
