Hello, new here and trying to post. I am new to modding, this is one of my 2 layers. Small blade and saw on one layer and an integrated pocket clip. I am in the process of making some leather scales for it. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]
I attached the file to the scale while the knife was apart, but with a little care you can probably do it without taking the knife apart. I used a 58mm nail file but any file of a similar size should work.
I fig while open (of course) drill and tap, then use like you said probably any file should work if done right, and then just fasten on, use some what is it thread hardener?
Might consider rit dye for the magnifier. You could turn it red, just need a use a candy apple or bright red.
My 93mm Explorer has just received new red liners and a nail file.
That looks super nice! Something I haven't seen here Only thing I would change would be countersunk screws, maybe.
Thanks!It's a matter of taste, but I prefer button head screws on Alox scales, they look more like the original pins.
I like that! can I ask which backspring you've used for the saw and did you need to modify it at all?
I keep getting small breaks around the edge of my peens, do I just need to slow down? Any tips?
I am getting inspired again. I have parts just lost the interest when I mangled the bushings.
I sometimes have the same, but I don't know for sure what causes it. I suspect the quality of brass may be involved (for me it happens more often with the 2.2mm brass which is a greener tint than my other sizes).Anyway, I don't have a definitive answer but slowing down can't hurt. Also, you might consider leaving less material before peening.
My latest mod is a Spydernox with, yes, Econo Scales.
