Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: Explorer Challenge May 2024

« Last post by Buzzbait on Today at 02:05:03 AM »

Day 5: The green Explorer was mostly just eye candy and pocket filler today. But I did get to use the large flathead to open up a can of dark wood stain I’m using on a new spice rack.

It's wonderful to see my favourite thread still trucking along. It always brought me a smile. It's great to see members from when I was last here still posting regularly, & others new to me appreciating this most quintessential of SAKs.

Hi former TonySal - you've transformed! Lucky it's just your handle & that I'm on my laptop. Reading on my phone where I can't see signatures, your new username had me stumped.

That's OK SG. Had the new phone, old password, etc, etc. So the new me- USCG Sal = retired USCoast Guard. The only thing I could think of when I had to invent a new name..

Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: Fish Scaler to Serrated Blade?

« Last post by psyjohn on Today at 01:57:49 AM »

I tried to do that once with a scaler I had left over from a custom I was building. As others have said the steel is too soft. Also the teeth on the scaler are too wide. As you file it into a blade you wind up with more of a weird looking saw than a serrated blade.

Swiss Army Knights Forum / Re: Pioneer x defect or design?

I haven't had any other issues with the 93mm awl but every single one of them makes that same mark on the edge of the scale. My first colored Alox was a blue Pioneer and when I noticed that mark I felt like you do. Now all my Alox SAKs are colored, except my Soldiers, and I've grown to be awlright with the tiny nick on each one. I love the pretty ones but I buy them to use them. As they age they each develop their own character, but it always starts with the awl mark.

The Break Room / Re: Any EU members up for a EU GAW box ?

Here's how it works: Frenchephaistos gets hold of a suitable box, fills it with goodies, and mails it to the next in line. Let's say AndyAaron gets it. He looks over the contents and decides what he thinks is cool. When I had the boxes making their way across the States, it was understood that you had to put stuff in if you removed more than one item. (I put at least one item in for every item I took out, sometimes more.) Andy AndyAaron would then repack the box and send it to the next MTo'er. The Stateside box kept growing in size. It's pretty cool to see how it grows, and you have to wonder who claimed the stuff you put in...
