The Herbalist - new SAK mod.
on: August 26, 2018, 05:27:58 PM
My daughter was 21 last week. She's a self taught herbalist and although she's been using a SAK of one kind or another for years (Climber and Explorer) while out collecting plants, I wanted to make her something specific.

So here is the Herbalist. Large safety blade, in-line awl, scissors, saw, mag glass and hook with file, wrapped off with bright yellow plus scales.

You can get plus yellow scales on the ebays Fuzzy, my friend - set you back about 12 quids.

If you're willing to take Deidre Mattingly to the pictures and supply a chippy dinner Darren can knock a tenner off.  :salute:

Had one knocking around and I figured that on the very small offchance that my daughter was stopped and searched a safety blade looks better. She's got plenty of other SAK's with normal blades.

I turned 56 last week. As a gardener I spend many a day weeding out all kinds of herbs and wildflowers, yet I know very little about them. I envy your daughter.

Now, Mags, ol' buddy, I'm just askin' here, not trying to stir the pot or anything......

Does your daughter have a tall pointy black hat?
Has she asked for a large iron cauldron for a Yule present?
How many times has she found a black cat in the local shelter that "really needs to be adopted"?
Does she think that Black Sabbath is a band that started out as a church choir?
Does she drive a vehicle with a bumper sticker something like this.....

That's some awlsome work you did there!! Congrats! I'm pretty sure your daughter is loving it!

BTW, the inline awl has a 3mm hole, right? How do you guys reduce the hole to use on a 2.5mm pivot?

Nice!
I awlways wondered how you guys included the awl in the 91mm builds without any modding, now I know!
Great tip! :cheers:

Although my herb knowledge is limited, this is one I do know, I gathered some this afternoon: Water Mint. It makes for a nice cup of tea. The plants are still young and only beginning to bear flowers, I´ll gather some more in the weeks to come.

Delicious.  Mint makes for tasty tea. Good for digestion too.
