I have been using this expedition for almost a month straight now (two days short) and I tried to use different SAK's but this one ends up in my pocket rather fast anyways and I really think I found the tool set I want/need for EDC. The woodsaw and inline Phillips gets a lot of use.

But I need to repeen one of the pins, it was a bit to big and pushed the straight pin out a bit and caused the scale to loosen, I tried to file it down a bit but took away to mush so now the pin won't stay as it should. So new pin and a set of new scales and I think I'm home

I've found that preening to achieve good snap and making sure that it won't come apart enough to introduce a wobble in the tools eventually is the hardest part of SAK modding for me.  :think:
Perhaps if you spent less time preening and more time peening you would have more success.  :pok:

I found a suitcase shop with a spirit, a wave, a charge, and... A kick and a core. They must not sell many tools for them to have discontinued models.  ::)
Didn't buy anything, due to the LM sticker shock(a Kick for €57? :twak: )

Well if it's longer than his other leg I wouldn't worry, he'll just go around in circles.

Guess who forgot to take pictures during work time?.. But I changed the scales to yellow plus scales and remade one of the pins..
