Adam Savage: Giant Swiss Army Knife Repair!

Surprised this wasn't posted!

Adam does a one day build to repair the moving display SAK in his shop, I've followed tested for awhile and seen the display in the background but never knew it was missing a blade!

Thanks for that, I enjoyed seeing the insides of a ginormous display SAK.

BTW I'm not a qualified electrician, but I suspect that the green wire with a yellow stripe was probably meant for a simple earth connection (as a safety measure), not for some kind of fancy thermal cutoff sensor.

Always love watching Ama's one day builds and tha display model is so cool  :tu:

I had to cringe a little bit when he referred the the can opener as a blade and the bottle opener as the can opener multiple times  :whistle:

Watching his Hell Boy Samaritan build ,the amount of hyper precise machining is insane, that would be one satisying prop to handle  :ahhh

Mr. Elsener forgot to put "technically, these display knives are still owned by Victorinox so you're not allowed to own one" in the letter.
