Victorinox Ranger with classical look: brass bolsters and melamine scales
on: November 08, 2014, 07:54:25 PM
I just want to show it to you. I made it yesterday. Plan was to build a knife with three layers – blades, openers and shears, but then… Nail cleaner and wood saw are soooo pracical…. I couldn't resist.
SAK with classical look is something  I wanted for a long time. Thank you for looking.

VERY nice work, I'm a great fan of reconstructed SAKs using other materials for the scales.
I have a whole series of Recruits in various metals. plastics, woods and some other materials. I think I need to add a brass bolstered example to the parade.

Sorry for the thread necro, this is a really stunning mod! I'm just trying to figure out what the extra pivots are for, or are they just decorative?

Either way, it's beautiful!

Possibly they hold the wood to the brass bolsters?
