Taking a page out of Dutch_Tooler's book, I was going to build a mega 93mm SAK...
... I mean, I actually did it, however, I'm not sure about keeping it like this... :dunno:
The same way I don't see myself EDC'ing a Swiss Champ on a regular basis, I'm also having difficulty to wrap my head around EDC'ing this build.
It came out bigger than I'd like it to be, even if it has all the tools I wanted it to have.
I'm considering the possibility of splitting it in 2 smaller ones, 1 with the absolute necessary tools to keep in my person at all times, and 1 with the remaining tools to keep in my backpack. I know... It defeats the purpose of building it in the first place... :facepalm:
Decisions, decisions...

Indeed they do. However, since I'm using M1.6 screws it also needs nuts.

As for EDCing the 93mm, yeah, well, er... mine is a tad heavy and I'm sure yours is too (what with two main blades). I do occasionally pocket it though. Such as today (by pure chance).

IIRC I didn't mod the spring except for increasing its tension slightly by bending it a little bit more using a vice and vice grip (with cloth in between the jaws and the spring).

Now I'm confused... You used a main blade spring for this layer right?
Maybe the tools you used are from an older model, without the weird shape in the Phillips...

This is what I did to mine, but I took too much unfortunately... :facepalm:

Very nice FlnixNOver :tu: :tu:

As for EDCing the 93mm, yeah, well, er... mine is a tad heavy and I'm sure yours is too (what with two main blades). I do occasionally pocket it though. Such as today (by pure chance).
Nice! I'm still tweaking mine, as in, not 100% completed yet.
By any chance, do you have pictures of the modding you've made to the Phillips layer spring? Mine is a bit loose, and I'm wondering where I should have taken less material...

Sent from my Redmi Note 5
IIRC I didn't mod the spring except for increasing its tension slightly by bending it a little bit more using a vice and vice grip (with cloth in between the jaws and the spring).
Now I'm confused... You used a main blade spring for this layer right?
Maybe the tools you used are from an older model, without the weird shape in the Phillips...

This is what I did to mine, but I took too much unfortunately... :facepalm:

Hmmm... Pretty sure I took something off the Phillips and maybe the magnifier, but I left the spring alone (yup, a main blade spring).

One should generally beware of grinding the springs as these are heat-treated for hardness, and the heat treatment dissippates when you apply heat again, such as when grinding. This might explain the loss of tension too. In any case the surface will now not be as hard as originally, and the Phillips will probably cause wear on the spring's surface.

I used a file to take out the material, so, I don't think it lost much in terms of hardness, but, nevertheless, I may work on the Phillips instead, and use a new spring... I'll report back once it's done.


Almost forgot... Thanks for sharing the knowledge! :cheers:

Hi Samek,

Beautiful work!  Would you mind sharing your technique for making the rivet heads of your pins look so nice?  It almost looks like they are formed. 

Any tips you could share with a rookie?  :)

Thanks,

Myron

Honestly there isn't much to upgrade the led.

It's a 3 mm led. 20,000mcd seems to be more common but I did order 30,000mcd but they didnt arrive yet. They are very inexpensive.

Once disassembled it's about 2 bends in the wire. Then replace the batteries.

It actually works like a little flashlight now. They will get less bright over time, but they should last for a very long time.

I wish is was a better story.
