Pharmaceutical Spatula

[GigaHz]

It is real thin. I would guess about 1/2 as thick.

Do you happen to have a whole stockpile of these?

All your spatulas are belong to us.

The one and only. It came from an XLT.

  I bought it 

It's official, i'm going to make a mod, for the first time! 

Now to think it over, what will I make, what donors do I need, and how does it all work 

[Syph007]

The spatula uses the fishscaler backspring.

That's great! Do you have anything in mind? I'm very curious about your ideas.
I've got ideas for a 'laborant' in the working. As soon as I get my hands on a Spatula I'll have some DIYing to do!

I'm considering combining it with a Golfer II and a Tinker, thus making a 4 layer SAK with:
1) large blade/divot tool/phillips driver
2) scissors/hook
3) spatula
4) can opener/cap lifter/reamer

Very interesting loadout. I would add the fish scaler to complete the "interesting/unusual tools" SAK.

I see where you're going, but it must remain a useful SAK, and as minimal as possible. I'm planning on sharpening the insides of the divot tool to turn it into a proper fork

I already had your Mikov knife in mind

That's what the divot tool is for. It's going to be a fork

So you plan to make some sort of lunch knife? The Spatula will be used as a spoon I presume?

I was thinking of calling it the "Coffee Knife". Stirring my coffee with the spatula, using knife and fork for a donut, something like that 

But "Lunch Knife" or something like that may be more fitting.

Still thinking about it

Haha, but I prefer to be called Count Spatula when my modded SAK is ready 

[FInixNOver]

Let's resurrect this thread, as I'm also looking for a spatula.
Many times, I find myself in the situation where I need to stir a coffee and would prefer to avoid to use those plastic thingies, which are really bad for the environment, and will, most likely, end up in the ocean.
Like it has been said, buying an XLT just for that tool is very cost inefficient.
I wonder why no one has had one custom made... Maybe in titanium or something.
This would be a good challenge for Syph007
I'd buy one!

There are several of those war-stories out there. When I bough my first SAK 30 years ago they also gave me a booklet with Victorinox stories.
One was about a doctor on a plane ans someone choked. He used the small blade to puncture the larynx to give the patient air again.
Lovely stories, stuck with me for all that time.

The great thing is that every SAK user has simmilar stories. I do. Except I don't go around punching people in the larynx with my small blade. 

EDIT
Just found this on the Victorinox website:
So, no dice. Unfortunately


Yes that is why they made the rescue blade on the 58mm Saks.  The angle was better for emergency trachritomies.  This was back when they made a lot of customs advertising Saks for pharmaceutical companies that they would then give to doctors for free to promote their drug or company.

You've gotta think Eli Lilly pharmaceuticals for that.  I don't think a single one of their older ad knives lacks a Wharncliffe blade. I've got a Schrade watch fob knife with that blade as a secondary. "Schrade Walden" stamp puts it at probably having been made in the sixties.

So I realize these options are arguably less fun than a custom SAK, but if I were really keen on having a reusable coffee stir, I would probably (a) just use the big blade on whatever 91 mm SAK I happened to be carrying, (b) carry a Vic Fisherman or Angler and use the fish scaler as a stir, or (c) add a Case doctor's knife (with spatula, obviously) to my EDC.

The fish scaler was first to my mind. Somehow I didn't think of the main blade! 

Otherwise, you could go right off SAK base and carry a teaspoon or spork. I have a teaspoon in my lunchbox as a general dining utensil: it replaced a fork and dessert spoon. I have another teaspoon in my shoulder bag. Indispensable when the need occurs.

You could even drill a hole in the top of the handle and attach it to your knife - even carry it from its own belt or pocket hanger.  

[Fortytwo]

How many knives do Victorinox require for a special order. It would be interesting to order basically a Swisschamp XLT/XAVT minus the Swisschamp parts to only get the "rare" tools for modding...

Sounds like you need a hobo knife 

[Sawl Goodman]

Too bulky and fiddly. Plus a teaspoon makes eating spaghetti more interesting (not that I’ve tried it!).

[FInixNOver]

Thank you for your replies!
I really would prefer the spatula, but I guess I would be satisfied with the fish scaler.
So, my question is, does anyone have a fish scaler later to sell? PM me if you do.

They are super rare!  After this build I'm down to only 30!

[FInixNOver]

Wow! Who, in their perfect mind, would have the need for a dozen fish scalers in just one SAK?!

Have you folks thinked to mod main blade as spatula


Only Tools Matters

[FInixNOver]

The main blade is one of the thickest layer you can have in a sak, so it's best to keep it slim, and the wood saw, metal file and fish scaler are the slimmest!

But i think its easier to mod blade than those and beside saw and fish scaler is slimmer on head than spatula only option beside to blade is prolly file but there you need to remove teeths of file first
