    Thank you for your excellent masterclass on how to build oneself the perfectly configured SAK.
    The liners, titanium scales and acid etching combined to create a unique and exquisite visual appeal, its truly gorgeous!
    The addition of the OE saw hugely enhances the tool and the durable acid etching further protects the metal.

    Do you have any suggestions for a simple mod like changing out standard 91mm scales on a huntsman for modified plus scales (to have a third "toothpick" slot so as to carry a Firefly)?
    I heard that the new scales may not reliably stay in place. Don't want to glue them in case I want or need to replace them.
    Just beautiful painstaking work, btw. Really impressive!
    Thanks!

      A simple mod that many people like is to sharpen the flathead screwdriver/bottle opener into a chisel. It can be done without disassembly.
      The third tweezer slot can be opened on the newer plus scales. If you buy the original plus scales in new condition, they should snap on without any need for glue.
      Titanium or other custom scales really do need some epoxy just to make sure that they don't come off.

      I cut down an 58mm size toothpick for the hidden channel in the plus scales I put on my modified Huntsman. In addition to adding the Firefly rod in the Toothpick slot, I've added the fire ant sized tinder spiral on the bottom of the corkscrew & a mini-screwdriver to keep it in place & the cherry on the cake for me is that I've fitted my Huntsman with the SwissQlip for comfortable pocket carry.

      @@FittoSurvive Yes its my GoTo PTK ( Pocket Tool Kit ) I own several Huntsmen including the Morse Code logo one that I bought from Tortoise Gear as a collectable, one I've had for a while bought new with regular Blue Sapphire scales & now fitted with a SwisQlip and my newest one a TSA confiscation bought on Ebay for $15.90 plus shipping & refurbished by me with Blue Sapphire ( my favorite scale color ) Plus scales on which I used Felix Imlers directions on how to open up the hidden channel for the toothpick, naturally I also fitted it with a SwissQlip. My alternate PTK is either the EvoGrip S17 ( also with a fire ant rod & tinder spiral on the corkscrew ) & the EG S18 with a Firefly rod in place of the toothpick. IMO the toothpick is of little practical use, in fact I've only ever used it to push out the battery on my Midnight Manager ( my default keychain knife ) . When I'm not carrying the Huntsman say for going out for dinner I carry either a Pioneer or a Cadet as a Gentleman's pocket knife.

According to the study, 25 minors die every week after being shot. And 91% of children killed in 2010 in rich countries by guns are Americans."

Analysis shows that the United States is home to the highest number of obese people in the world. What kind of person continues to promote the use of spoons that have wrecked the lives of so many innocent children and adults?
      Doesn't that sound absurd? Absolutely! It is supposed to! Our problem is not the right to bear arms or the simple fact that firearms are readily available in America. A child who wants to end his life or the life of another person will not be stopped by the absence of firearms. They will use knives or drive vehicles through crowded areas or find other ways to cause the harm they intend to cause.

      It is almost comical to debate American rights with someone who is not a US citizen. If your country prohibits firearms and that is the way that you like it, then I am glad for you. 👍🏻 Our right to bear arms is an important pillar of our freedom. An armed society, is crucial to the existence of a free state. Great Britain wanted to reign over the United States and not provide the colonists with the minimum that citizens deserve - a voice in parliament. The colonists were armed and able to throw off such tyrannical government and establish a government that gives liberty and justice to all. If you have never tasted freedom, you can not understand my words.

      I agree that America has a problem, the psychological condition of young people in America and the world is dire and even that is an understatement.

There is no friction between a responsible citizen carrying a firearm and being part of an intellectual, modern society.
      I did not attempt to disqualify you from the debate of gun rights nor did I intend to demean your countries freedoms in any way. I only meant to say that you really have to experience the second amendment to be able to understand the value of it.

      Good question. G10 is a high-pressure fiberglass laminate. I have not had any trouble with rigidity of the structure, especially after you put the scales on.
