Hi all
Just thought I'd make myself known
Having Just acquired an Cybertool lite as my latest SAK for christmas after a 10 year gap since my Swiss Champ, I found these forms and have started to read about modding etc
Thus far I have/had
Red Camper/Camping - no longer own. Binned it last year as I thought it was too manky/ far gone. That was before I found out you can recondition the things
Had hard use - I made Airfix kits when I was younger, didn't really look after it and it got covered in paint. Sorry now as it was my first SAK at the age of 12 after "borrowing" my dad's for so long. Also it was a gift from my parents.
As I say I wish I had kept it, knowing what I know now. Might have to get another to commemorate it but wont be the same
Red Explorer - Still got and has been my everyday / go-to knife. Still in reasonable contition, but could probably do with sharpening and a new set of tweezers/toothpick.
Black Swiss Champ - Show off piece. Has come in handy a few times and still, "like new" - reserved for special occasions - left the grubby jobs to the Explorer
However at the moment I don't know where it is *scowls*
Newly Acquired :-
Cybertool Lite - I work with computers a lot, I thought the bits would come in handy and it is lighter and easier to carry than the champ. Currently unused as I just got it. Nearly bought a Leatherman, but saw this instead. Might try and get an adapter to fit my numerous other bits from various socket sets.
On it's way :-
Soldier - cos I always wanted a "Big" knife lol. This one might just be a "Collector" though, can't see me having any need/want to be out and about with it. Not that I'm Rambo but still.
Wants:
I thought my Champ was the daddy lol I then Saw the XLT.
(Yes I know theres the XAVT but the price for that is loony tunes)
Had the opportunity on a new Mauser a few years ago but didnt snap it up... wish I had, so that or a Walther if I can find one that is not too "used"
Modding questions:
Where do people go to get new Scales ? I'm in the UK if that helps ? This will probably be about the extent to which I go. Anything else will require someone doing it for me (disability and lack of um tools lol)
Anyhoo thats enough of me rambling for now.
Pics - cant at the moment as not near my kit...
Cheers
