Hello Everyone.
I am working towards modding my first SAK and I have a couple of questions.
First a little background about me since I am new to the forum. I am a CNC machinist by trade. I am also into 3D printing and robotics.
I had a SAK that my Grandfather gave me years ago but it was lost to time. I recently picked up a Deluxe Tinker which is great but It is missing one tool. I feel it needs the metal saw / file. I picked up a used mountaineer which has the saw to be used as a donor.
I want to use torex screws for the knife so I can take it apart when needed.
I am still reading the forum but my search came up with these pivots
https://www.alphaknifesupply.com/shop/125-knifemaking-hardware#125-pivotsThey are too short. Is the standard practice to stack them with a setscrew? Is there a source that sells longer ones.
When drilling / reaming the tools, are there any that can not be drilled out to 0.125" ? It seems like there will be very little material left on the awl and back screwdriver.
Finally is there a good solid model or dxf of the 91mm scales? I plan on machining my own set out of brass and don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to.
