Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: Don't degrease SAK with acetone,,

For people like me with dry hands, the nylon in way more slippery. Especially in winter. The cellidor actually grips my hands.

Great pictures everyone and a brilliant start to the Micra challenge, this is going to be a good month 


DAY 2

Wife agreed to taking the primary school ducklings they hatched.....


so during my lunch break yesterday and a sleepless night, I created a hard wood (oak and red wood scraps run up on a table saw) frame and wired it...the Micra helped finish the edges (removing that sharp sawn raw edge with the blade) and removing the odd staple gun rouge staple with the flat head screwdriver.....just need to finish the roof and hatch to get in. 

We collect the ducks on Friday morning.... hopefully I will finish it in time 

Might be a wasted effort as we have stoats nearby...but still looking forward to it.

Swiss Army Knights Forum / Leather slips for SAK’s

« Last post by Swisster on Today at 05:58:43 AM »

Just got this from TahoeLeather and it’s the nicest slip I have owned. Very high quality and it’s nice that no brands or branding has been embossed into it. The metal rivets give it a nice extra touch. It fit’s this Cadet well and covers the whole knife.

I would agree. That makes me wonder if nylon is somehow less sustainable (to use a current "green" buzzword) than Cellidor. Of course, I'd awlso like to see them bless us with Micarta, and maybe G-10...

I think you are correct, Cellidor is supposedly 45% cellulose, so relies less on petroleum than a plastic like nylon.  I have some G-10 scales that are solid and textured, much prefer the feel in hand, that would be cool for vic to add.

Three nice colors!

I am planning to slide through this without a  purchase. I am, I am going to really try.

Got 2 SS models.  The one in hand is 4/13!

Ouch , just slice my thumb on the blade checking the date code 

 Correction, it’s SS with tint of bright red thumb prints
