new guy - SAK Mod // thinnest scale ?
on: January 12, 2018, 10:07:22 PM
Hi all,

just discovered this great forum and the gorgeus Mod Section :-)

Im about to modify a small and simple SAK Bantam (1 layer) next week.


Question is following: whats the thinnest scale i can build/mount on a standard Bantam without modding the rivets ?
I want to create my own micarta and get a very thin package, hopefully near to a Alox in thickness.
I know, its quite impossible without major mods...original scale should be 3mm thick...do you think 2.5 or 2mm can work too ?

Would be cool to hear from you :-)

Maybe wrap the SAK in cling film/ saran wrap and then mold the micarta too it
remove the micarta and sand it down until the bushings show through the micarta (I'm thinking black micarta here)
Glue the micarta back on and varnish
You will end up with black micarta and brass highlight bushings  :drool:

can't get any thinner than that  :salute:

 :cheers:
