Free SAK climber/Huntsman if you take scissors out for me

So,

I'm going to pick up a cheap 91mm SAK for the scissors. If I end up taking it apart, I'll end butchering it beyond belief. So, my offer is:

I'll drop ship the SAK to you

You'll take it apart and mail the scissors back to me. If you're feeling really nice, I won't object if you sharpen and clean them up.  You can keep everything that's left.

Let me know or PM me if anyone wants to take me up on it

For ease of logistics, Id like to keep it US based.

You should be able to do this in like 2 mins yourself with minimal tools.
1) Get access to a wheel grinder or a dremel with a cutting disc. (or even a flush cutting pair of heavy duty pliers)
2) pry off both scales from your huntsman. This will expose 4 sets of rivets.
3) Locate the rivet that acts as pivot pin for the scissor tool. grind/cut/snip off that rivet flush with the liner.
4) Pull out the brass pin from the opposite side, or punch it out using a nail.
5) your scissor has now been freed from the SAK. Done!  :cheers:

+1.  :cheers:
It's really easy to drill/file out the rivets if you don't care about doing it carefully (as you won't be reusing the rivets or the liners on the outside)
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

Thanks.  SAKs are new to me.  I thought I read you needed special tools to work on them.  I didn't want to ruin the other parts for someone to be able to use, but if its safe to just grind them off, I'll give it a go.

Have a look at the stickies in the mod section TH - with a bit of ability and basic tools SAK's are very mod-friendly. Also, we're all here if you need help/advice.  :salute:

I’d be happy to give this a go for you if you really don’t want the SAK. I own all the tools to make this work.

I found a pair of Vic scissors cheap enough it wasn’t worth the effort.
