    Every time I see your modifications for your SAK, it makes me wonder why Victorinox didn't think of that when when they designed the knife.

      Iirc in some locations one-handed folding knives are illegal. But I would argue most people have genuine non-murder use for swiss army knives like these and it isn't just the one-armed people who benefit.

    Good idea in case you really need it. Whenever I cut a bolt down, I thread the nut on first and twist it down to the head. It makes smaller bolts fit into your drill straighter, if that's necessary. But the main benefit is that when you remove the nut it cleans up your threads where you made the cut.
    I think a drop of removable Loctite on the threads before final assembly might not be a bad idea.

    As a lefty I apreciate so much this Sak modification! I think it could also work in 111mm Sak with slide lock without modifying the scales. It could make my old Work Champ even better.

    great video as usual, and a good modification for the SAK. I would NEVER do this to my Vic's, as this would void my warranty, even though the quality of Victorinox is so good that I don't think I would ever need to use my warranty. I can open my SAK with one hand now (without any add-ons), but it is slower and a little more complicated. I learn to open ALL my folders with one hand ever since I watched 127 Hours, because you never know when you will have only one hand that you can use to open your knife (even more times than if you have a boulder catch one hand), and I usually carry a fixed blade as my primary (almost ALL my fixed blades have a sawback, some better quality than others, but I really like my Carnivore-X), and always carry my Swiss Champ (usually anyway) as my backup, and as my primary, if I am NOT carrying my fixed blade. That said, I do have an inexpensive SAK, that I may do this to, just to see how useful it would be.

    This looks like an interesting mod, but I’m concerned about the blade being weakened. Maybe silver soldering a piece onto the blade would work better. I have a Swiss Army knife for use while kayaking, including if I end up in the water needing to cut things (e.g. rescue) where one handed action would be useful, but I also want a UK legal carry, i.e. It must not lock. I also have a Leatherman Crunch which I’ve considered modifying the locking blade to make it non-locking. Maybe I’ll spin up the milling machine and sort it one day.

    Awesome idea! I thoghut about it a lot, how to make it easier. There are metal glues which are stronger than welding, so it's not neccessary to drill out the blade. For example Loctite's epoxy weld bonding compound. Once cured, it is resistant to heat and moisture, including water, fuel, oil, antifreeze, and shop fluids. It won’t shrink and can easily be sanded. And I'm pretty sure other companies has similar products too.

    Nice modification Felix! Another option might be the Thumb Stud for Buck 110/112. This thumb stud requires zero modification to the blade. It fits over the spine of the blade and uses a set screw to hold it in place. It can be placed wherever it works best for the user. Ambidextrous. Can easily be removed with no marks or damage to the blade. The handle of the Buck knife does not need to be modified either, due to the height of the blade spine above the handle scales. The SAK handle might need to be modified. Also, the t.s. I am referring to only fits a certain blade thickness range. One would need to verify the thickness of the SAK blade BEFORE ordering that part. It runs around $6-$11USD depending which website it is purchased from. Thanks Felix!!
