Carved SS scales on Ranger SAK
on: May 13, 2014, 08:15:54 PM
Some years ago, while visiting a leather goods shop in northern Mexico, I traded a new Explorer SAK plus $15 dollars) for a new Ranger with carved stainless steel scales. I have never carried it as it weighs a lot. In retrospect I wish I had covered the difference in cost (about $90 dollars at the time) to acquire the one (a Climber, I think) that had similar scales but carved in silver. I understand some silversmiths in central Mexico were doing these scales for the shop, albeit in very limited numbers.

Nice carving on that one! Maybe too heavy for the pocket but would be great in a custom leather belt sheath also hecho en México... :tu:

Well that's something different and very interesting. Very nice work on the scales. :cheers: And at that price it's a steal. :D

Including cutouts for the scaletools... wow. If everything is handmade (no CNC) I'm impressed.

That's different and very cool.

Congrats for finding and buying such an unusual SAK.
