SAK Mods! Post your pics, questions and ideas

yup I’m with you! Perhaps a micro Farmer X?

here’s the mock up for the awl..

That looks pretty cool! What does it look like when closed? The stock on the awl looks slightly thicker than the nail file. Does it create a bigger gap between the blade and the scales on the backside?

Are those posts internally threaded barrels? If so, what is the barrel diameter and the internal thread size? Thanks.

Very nice, especially due to the non crinked Solo blade, good job using that!

View attachment 1546593 Thanks for the info on the threaded 1/8” barrels. What do you use in the 58mm knives as far as screw and barrel sizes go? The one I have looks like it is barrelless.

I follow Bob Lessard’s guidance and use Stainless 0-80 screws or Brass pins.

You saved me from taking the knife apart. Do the blades pivot on a threaded screw? Thanks!

Yup! Here’s the direct quote from the SAK mod master:

“It was serendipitous when I realized the OD of 0-80 thread was 1/16 inch, the pivot size for 58mm tools. I would not have tools pivot on threaded pivots normally, but on these tiny guys it really isnt an issue. I did tests and they work just perfect.”

Having a blade swing on a threaded stainless screw would be at least as good as an unthreaded brass rod.

Pretty simple mod, I suppose, but I swapped Stayglo pocket clip scales from SwissBianco onto my One Hand Trekker. This knife lives in a pocket on my kayaking life vest.

I’m thinking of selling a kidney...

 

[Spikediesel]

Haha! You guys here on the site have been extremely supportive and I am very thankful! For that reason I try to post anything I have for sale here before anywhere else on the internet.

Dropping these in the knifemaker’s for sale section tomorrow at 3pm eastern
