Jason, do you do repairs on SAK mods? I have one with a broken Torx screw and I can't get the piece out that is left behind otherwise I would get a new screw and do it myself. If you can't could you maybe suggest someone?

I'm sorry Bill. I don't work on SAK's. Maybe just an easy out bit from about any hardware store would get it out for you? Have your tried that?Jason, do you do repairs on SAK mods?

Seriously, if you do decide to offer those I'd like the opportunity to nab 1 for my father. He's an avid whittler and it'd be perfect for him to slip in his Sunday-go-to-meetin' pants and not be suspected by my Mother, lol. (she fusses about him carrying knives to church)

The screw is a number 6 Torx and the threaded part is less than a 1/16 of an inch. Not sure I could find and out bit for some thing like that. I will continue my inquiries - thanks for getting back to me.

I learned a couple new tricks today! My first time doing jigging and a contoured shield on this #93.

With a special radiused wheel cutter for my dremel that I got from MSC Supply on recommendation from Manny Saldana.
So here she is all finished up! GEC 93 recovered with jigged black paper micarta and pinned and contoured houndstooth shield. I'm really happy with how this one turned out! Thanks for taking a look.

Outstanding and clean work Jason, that jigging looks great with the shield and knife pattern.

Maybe your greatest achievement, at least the one I saw. The jigged Micarta covers and the shield are superb. All that on a great pattern. You made there an exceptional knife.
