I thought I’d share a trick/tip on how I have carried a needle and thread for years in my SAK. If this has been discussed before please ignore and my apologizes. Find a sewing needle that will fit in the gap between the inside of the hook and the back spring, take a couple of feet of sewing thread and tightly wrap it around the entire length of the needle, leaving only a 1/16th or so of the needle point exposed. Take a couple of thin/short strips of masking tape ( I used only a 1/8 or so or this strip to cover the pointed end) and secure the thread end in place with one and use the other to cover the exposed needle point.
Be aware of the amount of tape used as it needs to fit in between the liners of the SAK. This carrying method has worked great for me. Just remember it’s there if you ever need to use the hook ( I never do). Hope this helps somebody! -Jon
