Hi its been about 9 years since I joined the forum, and I finally decided to rebuild a SAK. Ive searched and read all I could find... but my luck never fails, and I now need to ask questions LOL. The knife is in a ziplock baggie, and Im not sure which springs go with what etc. I should have documented it better, but it popped apart rather briskly.... :D

Does anyone know of a diagram anywhere that shows what tools go to what spring/spacer etc?

Ive got brass rod on order right now, so I cant play around and puzzle it back together very well. Ive thought about using a caliper and going by thickness as a start, but if I can learn a better way... Im open to that. ;)

Thanks in advance for any info.

It started out as a champ, and Im taking the saws and fish scaler out (along with corresponding back tools), the rest goes back the same.

Everything is polished and ready for pins..... if only I knew how it went back together..... :eek::D
 
Look at the same model, I had that problem with an alox I am trying to put a clip on

Cool, thanks for the idea! I can now figure out the spacers like that, the springs were/are confusing without that pic link above.... :D
Ive assembled a few knife kits before, but never a folder much less a SAK. Im debating on keeping a saw in lieu of the scissors, and ordered some new ruby scales for it. Im just hoping I dont ham fist it and over peen the rivets.... :p
 
With help from this forum, and sosak I was able to do my first big mod. I turned a swisschamp into an explorer. I had the champ for years, and just never carried it. I screwed up and over peened the rivets the first time, and damaged bushings and outer liners drilling it out again. Not to mention running a center drill into my thumb...LOL
So I had to buy a junker off of ebay to use for parts. Tuned out well, good snap, and smooth on pretty much all tools except a couple. I learned that I should have buffed the bearing surfaces. So all in all, hole in thumb aside, it was a good learning experience. So thanks again guys! :D
