Gentleman's SAK

[ZDP-189]

My third knife. Customised from a SAK. Thuya scales cut and drilled to fit, soaked in Danish oil for 2 days and sanded to 2,000. Note that I chose not to seal the fibre holes as that is the character and charm of Thuya. A Sterling silver chain and fob were also fitted.

Without chain



Chain fitted



BTW, a pic was already posted to another thread; same knife. The techniques used were exactly as Jason_01 recommended, except I used a plate sander instead of milling the back. If the holes are drilled accurately, the scales will fit securely without glue, but I used epoxy for extra security.

Comments and honest critique are appreciated.

Looks good, certainly a vast improvement over plastic.

Vnice Zeb, I'd've sealed the holes & brought to a charming satin polish, but that's just preference


Well done

Thanks, Col.

BTW, for the record, this was completed knife #3.
