I have found my perfect sak. It's the best tools in the smallest package since the invention of the socket set. I even love the logo being on the back, does anyone know if these scales are available anywhere?

I'll keep trying to search for one but I doubt that will come to fruition, so it looks like I shall have to mod one. What's the smallest amount of saks i'll have to dissect to create this? An apprentice and a deluxe tinker?

Scales with the shield on the reverse normally have advertising on the front. To make your own I think the easiest route will be to pull apart a DofE or a Compact and a Mechanic.

If you have said knives kicking around or can get cheap second hand that's good. Otherwise its about as cheap to just buy that one from Tim and save the hassle

I've already tried Tim, he doesn't have any available. how difficult would it be to move the sheild to the back? just a case of drilling a few holes or slightly more complex?

Not really doable. I can probably find you a reverse shield scale from my bits box if you want one. Yo may need to get the brasso on it though

Found a blue one, needs a little buff but its not too bad at all. Blue OK?

Blue would be superb. Thanks again.

how I wish I could buy off ebay.com, but I suppose it's good for the wallet

Anyone from Germany willing to help out? My German is non existent.

HawkeyX · **Reply #11 on:** March 30, 2011, 08:15:47 PM

sorry - click on the english flag. They will speak your talk.

Sadly though it seems you can't buy from the site. $:-\$

sousterre1 · **Reply #13 on:** March 30, 2011, 09:00:51 PM

All I have to do it appears, is start a company that requires the loosening of wedged staples and they will sell me one.

Neil · **Reply #14 on:** March 30, 2011, 09:11:41 PM

Get on with it then

Aloxfan · **Reply #15 on:** March 30, 2011, 09:30:53 PM

If you email them, will they let you purchase online? we really need a group buy on these.

It sound like it would be a fair bit of work trying to get them to part with them, is money not enough for people these days

I'll need to see pictures of the staples you plan to remove first

HawkeyX · **Reply #20 on:** March 31, 2011, 01:20:33 AM

I purchased off them a 2-3 months ago.
Although they say you need to be a company, when I emailed them asking if they could just sell me a knife or two they were more than happy to do so (never hurts to ask).
Cant recall the price or postage cost now, but yeah, you can order and buy off them!

sousterre1 · **Reply #21 on:** March 31, 2011, 01:23:33 AM

Well that's all the convincing I need, anyone else in?

njfist · **Reply #22 on:** March 31, 2011, 03:44:18 AM

yep, I'll take one...

Yes, our company name is Multitool.org.

Count me in for 1, 2 or 3.

sousterre1 · **Reply #25 on:** March 31, 2011, 02:38:52 PM

I'll send them an email later on today.

jazzbass · **Reply #26 on:** April 01, 2011, 01:23:35 AM

I'd be in for one. I tried to contact them about getting a dozen or so through my company and never heard back from them. Maybe you'll have better luck than I.

kirk13 · **Reply #27 on:** April 01, 2011, 02:03:34 AM

I'd be very interested,if theres still a chance of getting one

Aloxfan · **Reply #28 on:** April 01, 2011, 06:36:21 AM

It appears you can checkout online. What payments do they offer? I can only imagine shipping being high to send it across the Atlantic.

HawkeyX · **Reply #29 on:** April 01, 2011, 06:41:47 AM

They sent me an invoice quote and accepted visa payment for me. Shipping to NZ was about standard to what it costs me to purchase from ebay US sellers I think.
