Lessard removes the rivets and modifies the entire chassis to accommodate hardened steel Torx screws. “This in effect gives you a 3-layer SAK in a package size of a typical 2-layer.”īut whether you’re looking at the plastic or thinner alox SAKs, they all come riveted together. “It gets thinner by approximately 0.125”, about the thickness of a tool layer,” Lessard explains. It can support a pocket clip and doesn’t require separate liners like the standard SAK Cellidor plastic, slimming the entire product down. Everyone likes the look of this high-end material, but advantages go beyond style. But since acquiring a CNC machine, he has upgraded to titanium.
Lessard used to make custom aluminum scales for the SAKs he worked on. “I make custom titanium and brass tools that are not available on the stock platform, like forks and combs.” Lessard can also add some options you won’t find straight from Victorinox. “Customers get no tools they don’t need,” he tells us. As a highly skilled modder, Lessard can mix and match tools to your preference during the customization process. Swiss Army Knife users sometimes dream of a perfect combination of implements for them, but usually, that specific SAK doesn’t exist. Lessard takes the basic chassis provided in off-the-shelf Victorinox models and turns them into unique, customized pocket tools. Place each scale in its previous position, and tap with the hammer until the Swiss Army Knife is reassembled.Robert Lessard, better known as SAKModder, is continuing to ramp up his aftermarket Swiss Army knife (SAK) modification service. (This becomes easier after you’ve inserted the first rivet.) Insert each rivet before gently tapping them into a secure position using the finish nail and hammer. Insert the rivets in the exact opposite manner that you removed them, maintaining a grip on the knife to ensure that all pieces are stable. Replace the outer unit on top of the knife, and ensure that no tools are sticking out along the outside of the handle casing. Reassemble each tool in its proper position with the holes correctly lined up for each rivet.
Remove the old blade and replace it with the new blade, making sure that you position the blade’s edge in the identical position of your old blade. Take note of the placement of each tool as you remove them on the way to your knife blade. Place the intact Swiss Army Knife on the work surface and carefully lift the outer unit facing up. Remove any extra pins from the knife in this manner while maintaining a grip on the pocketknife to ensure that the inner contents do not fall out.Examine the Swiss Army Knife and locate the remaining rivet connecting the two outer portions of the pocketknife.
