Thank you!
The scales are back from the anodizor (my son in law). See post 132 above. The coat should greatly improve the scratch resistance.View attachment 1663260View attachment 1663261

If I wanted the pliers to stand out 1/8” taller to open easier, what would you recommend? I was thinking a little jb weld under the working end?

Thanks for the reply. Great knife btw
This is a 91mm custom Ti SAK from ALM in Poland. The innards are Victorinox. The scale piercings are interesting. My son in law anodized the scales.View attachment 1671052View attachment 1671054
Vic makes a spring replacement kit, but it only contains the newer (double) springs.View attachment 1671079

I bought one of these a few months ago, it makes the once agonizing process enjoyable now!
I did new brass liners and rivets. Initially I was thinking equal end, but I didn’t have enough material at home. Ended up with elk horn as bolster separated with a brass liner against pear wood. I have now bleached the wood and starting to fill the pores (not in pics). Pretty funny project, will try to do another in the near future
*almost forgot, it was a Alox 2 before. And even if it’s not a kitchen knife, it’s entirely made in one

Very very cool!!
Tnx B. Means a lot coming from a pro like U
I have done a oxalic acid wash on the blades to darken and matte them. And I did try to make them look stone washed, but did not use ceramic shards but regular sand. Did not quite do the job... Better luck next time I guess 
Thank you so much
Now that I know some misstakes, the next will go smoother I hope 
Number 2 in the making.
This time in Oak wood & Elforyn tusk
starting to look like something...
I´m very happy with the fitting this time. No gaps around the back spring, and no blade play
The blades are left shiny on this one. I may give them some extra polish to really bring them to life. Hopefully there will be
a finished pic in a few days
The only power tool used is a drill, everything else by hand. And just like the last one, "kitchen made"

I am giving the Oak some treatment. Smoky Oak gives a nice contrast to the brass and tusk I think
