How I made this custom SAK (Dragonox Evo Huntsman)

Your work is incredible. Impressed you do so much by hand instead of having to use jigs.

Thank you! Jigs would probably be faster, but I do prefer hands on for more precise work.

wow, nice build! love that "switched serated" blade (on the solder 08, i'd rather have a unserated long part, and a short serated, than the normal standard version)... also - ever thought about getting the spring for the dragonfly-mod mass-manufactured? wonder why there's no custom-scale that offers 4 tool-tunnels (tweezers, toothpick, pen, firefly ;) - at least i haven't found one (only that on the plusscales, one can open the 3rd tunnel)

[@FittoSurvive]

Thanks a bunch! I have not looked into having the Dragonfly spring manufactured. It would definitely be worth looking into. I have not found any custom scales with the 4 slots. But somebody should really make a titanium set with the 4rth slot.

[@Heracleetus]

I've watched two of your builds so far and I'm thoroughly impressed. I'm a bit confused about the placement of the blades, though. They seem to be set up for a left handed one-hand-open. To me it looks like if you switched positions of the blades, each one would be more easily accessible. But considering your skill and meticulousness, there's probably a good reason for doing it the way you did. Awesome work!

[@FittoSurvive]

Hey, the reason why the Dragonfly in this build is placed as it is, is to make the original blade more accessible . If I had placed the Dragonfly closer to the right side, then the original blade would not be accessible at all. But, I have placed the Dragonfly on the right side on other builds.

Hey, awesome work. You've inspired me to try to make my own modded SAK but I can't figure out the Spyderco spring. On this 91 mm build where does it come from ? The scissor spring on other 91 mm models doesn't look like that or is it from a 93 and just filed down ? Can the original blade spring be used also ? Thanks in advance

[@FittoSurvive]

Thank you. Glad to hear that I have inspired you to try your own. I use the older scissor spring that does not have the parcel hook on the back. The original blade spring can be used, but then you will have to grind the Dragonfly blade down.

The initial information came from VicSpains channel & not from some anonymous source.

I have a fair number of the other small models that are due to be discontinued too & am considering buying some more of them whilst stocks last as well as some more of the already expensive 85mm Delmont range as they will make great future gifts to friends & relatives.

All I can suggest to you is to scour eBay for used SAK's that have some of the tools you are frequently use in your orders to buy for their parts and I have seen a number of SAK's listed cheaply because they have bent or damaged blades or other tools, making them good only for use by a skilled modifier like yourself.

Very nice work, as always. Amazing videography too, by the way. But I have to ask, why do you glue the scales on with epoxy? Never thought they needed to be glued on. Is it exclusive for mikarta scales?

[@FittoSurvive]

Thank you! Means a lot to me, especially after 5+ hours of editing. 😅 I use epoxy on all of the custom scales that I use. While some custom scales will "snap on", they do not stay on very well. The original plastic scales conform to the brass grommets when attached using a vice. This makes them snap on and stay on. After market scales are usually made of hard materials that will break off the edge of the brass grommet when being snapped on instead of conforming to the grommet. Hopefully that made sense. 👍🏻👍🏻
