Title: The PST 1.5.1 adding the saw
Post by: Poncho65 on March 15, 2017, 08:30:18 PM: Well I have carried my PST 1.5 lately and finally made myself go and cut a SOG saw to fit into my PST :D

I have had it marked to cut for months :whistle:

Compared to a couple other PST/PST II parts to see what needed to be cut away for sure :tu:

I cut the back off and then went to making the pivot end match the factory PST end of this blade :tu:

Next I took a diamond stone and a sanding block to clean it up and make the finish a bit smoother and more eye pleasing :D

Next into the PST and see if it fits :think: Yep looks pretty good :tu: Now I mark the nail nick position with a Sharpie :cheers:

Cut the nail nick in :tu:

Now to see if it can cut :cheers:

Tested and works :dd: Now to see the finished PST 1.5.1 :woohoo:

And a comparison to the Rebar and it's saw :cheers:

Post by: cody6268 on March 16, 2017, 02:19:29 AM: Nice job! That's something I want to do, but I haven't found a busted PST or PST II to do it to. My PST II still works fine, and I see no reason to mess with it. I'm thinking about trading an intact PST for a friend's which has had one of the plier pivots disappear (which was replaced with a nut and bolt).
Title: Re: The PST 1.5.1 adding the saw
Post by: Poncho65 on March 16, 2017, 02:44:42 AM: What started this was that I bid on a PST II and got it for cheap but the handles were messed up ::) and I also had a PST that I didn't care to take apart with a couple issues ;) :D

It is a very great EDC anyways and now it is more so with the saw :dd: Not really much else that I would need on it :think: Especially since I carry a SAK anyways :tu:

Nice mod, a saw seems to be lacking in the PST range. I like the shape you made it, I think Mr Harley will have something to say about the decapitation. :D

If you do another, do the bottom bit first, that will show you how much needs to be taken off the top.

Cheers,

Pete

Thanks Peter :salute: Most definitely will do the pivot end first and then check for fit :D

I like the look of the other one better but it takes a little more effort getting out if it gets pushed down to far :whistle:

This one would likely stay in if I got it put in and was easier to get out and still fit like the other one in the pivot :D
