Modified SAK picture thread

[Fletcher Knives]

Let's have a modded SAK picture thread. Everybody post your modded SAKs. Custom scales, custom models, etc. GO! Sorry, I don't have any pictures yet. I'm in the process of getting a few to customize.

Nice!
Do you find the Alox models harder or easier to mod than the celidor versions?

 

[theonew]

Awesome :thumbup: A saw and awl, and choice of six different blades to use. Looks like a great wood working knife. All, with a bottle opener for when you're finished

I ground the serrations off my Boy Scout version Adventurer and made it more of a sheepsfoot. This is better for opening boxes for me:

I think this may be useful for those who want to replace lost scales. I've done it in other knives (non SAK) and some have come out a lot nicer.

After the scales fell off I molded some on with two part epoxy putty, the worm grove jigging was molded in before the epoxy set. once it sets it can be worked on with files, sandpaper, dremel. etc. I painted the scales black which has worn off with use, It may look better after the paint falls off more leaving better color contrast with the jigging.

The mountaineer slim is really a cool piece. I have long favored having a file on my knife/multipurpose tool. I have been considering making a Mountaineer Slim with the bit system from the Cybertool series. Alas, it has been a project which keeps getting put off. None the less, I like your mods.

 

[Gareth UK]

Thanks Houdini. My Mountaineer Slim is almost identical to the Marlboro Trail Guide; http://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Trail+Guide but with an additional small screwdriver.

These modded SAKs are very cool. How would a guy learn how to make these mods?

 

[Gareth UK]

Here's a link to my basic "how to" guide for simple layer mods, if you look at page four there is also a list of the parts and how they can be fitted together. A simple set of hand tools, a drill and a vague idea of how they work and you should be good to go.

There is also this one on how to do a quick swap on the Phillips and corkscrew.

Why not post your guide rather than a link?
