Show off your Sak mod's!

I'm not worthy to follow those beauties but I'm proud of my mod nonetheless

. I call this one E.R.N.E.S.T. (Emerson Repair N' Emergency Sharpening Tool). It's got everything I need for maintaining and sharpening my EDC folder in the field. I've even got the magnifying glass for inspecting the finished blade edge. If I had to do it over again I'd probably skip the corkscrew and move the awl to that outside spot, but I'm happy with it either way. This is my 3rd mod and I learn a bit more each time about what I want on my EDC SAK. At this point it's complete enough that I'd honestly rather leave home without my Emerson than without my Vic.

Yep! Partner it with a saw and fixed blade and it covers all your bases in the woods and gives you a last ditch fire starter to.

very nice Dumdum, and welcome to the forum.

nuphoria · **Reply #2137 on:** May 05, 2012, 05:39:17 PM

Cool... what did you get the tools black with?

tattoosteve99 · **Reply #2138 on:** May 05, 2012, 06:55:43 PM

Very nice! That looks like cerakote although I could be wrong.

DumDum · **Reply #2139 on:** May 05, 2012, 09:00:02 PM

It's black oxide, called hot bluing. I think Victorinox was doing the same oxide in e.g. Sentinel or Trekker.

Awesome mod DumDum! I was planning to do the same with some Alox scales, albeit more low-tech. I was just gonna spray them with black matte rustoleum

tattoosteve99 · **Reply #2141 on:** May 05, 2012, 09:23:47 PM

Wow hot black oxide. Very nice. Matte paint don't work

. I've already tried it. I wish they made a paint that would actually stay on.

Hmmph, that's a bummer. There's got to be one, I don't want to have to resort to making my own little anodizing station at home

Here's a nice SAK that I modded

I put a deep carry clip and made the rescue blade a wharncliff shape.

I sold it.

I will make one like it again one day but with a tip up clip.

JAfromMn · **Reply #2146 on:** May 06, 2012, 05:32:44 AM

^ I messed up but I sold it to a younger guy who said he planed on using it so that helps

A little

It just gives you more reason to make something else. Every cloud ...

Syph007 · **Reply #2149 on:** May 12, 2012, 01:39:42 PM

Rahmed, those scales look familiar!

Looks like you put them all to good use. What are you using for a plier spring? Is that the stock one from a 91mm?

nuphoria · **Reply #2150 on:** May 12, 2012, 05:23:37 PM

Lovely new shinies....

So, anyone got something cheap I can scavenge some pliers from please?

I have lots of decent donors SAKs to trade, or cash money. Need a mod done and can't find pliers!

Sure

Plier spring is home made by hanes

I changed my Electromechanic concept a bit... now that's it!!

I love that name, Electromechanic. Mind if I use that?
