Well guys, since I am addicted to SAK too, I got something for you.
And since it seems that it is impossible to get a 91mm Waiter, I created one of a Compact.
I removed the 2nd layer, though this is a quite expensive way to lengthen a knive 7mm
Some pics for you as a thank and return for your inspiration.
Merry christmas and a happy new year!
Jay from Cologne

Expensive but cool!

Very nice indeed!  I've done the (much less expensive) 91mm Gourmet (small blade not combo tool) and the single layer 91mm has a great feel to it.  :tu:
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

Hey, today I united the shoelaces of my wife by unsing the corkscrew.
My Waiter Plus did well, and so did I.

Do you mind to convert a Compact? It‘s not that difficult 👍

As said towards the beginning of this thread, The Waiter hits above its weight class. I still haven't ordered another after gifting but I clearly remember that selfish me on my shoulder whispering "keep it for yourself" in my ear :rofl:

Hello everyone, this is my first post to the forum, I wanted to share my "new" Waiter with rough wooden scales :).

I accidently found this SAK in my girlfriends junk drawer. It had those ugly-ass worn down white scales, but blade itself looked like it was barely ever used. She wasn't sure when or where she got it from and she let me have it.

I had some scrape rosewood laying around and decided to give it a try and carve out new scales. My goal was to do as much as possible with simple, EDC-type tools. Used mostly my leatherman wave for cutting and filing, and Opinel to carve. I only cheated with drilling, I used battery drill to make the holes for the pins. Didn't have the patience to do it manually :D. To my suprise, after some adjusting of the holes using flat screwdriver on my leatherman, I was able to pop both scales on the knife with a nice "click". I will propbly add some glue later on, but for now they sit surprisingly tight. Just gave it a wipe with raw hemp oil.

Looks rough, but I really like the result!

Actually I had no idea about the mini driver until I googled what you wrote (you mean the one you can insert in the corkscrew, right?). That's awesome!

I plan to file down slots for tweezers and toothpick to make it a proper SAK, and since I have to order tweezers anyway I think I'l go for mini driver too! Thanks a lot for the tip!  :cheers:
