We’ve all got or seen an old SAK somewhere about, if it’s in need of some TLC has a read of this and give it a go to create something new but rather cool.
My dad gave this Spartan to me back in 1992 and I’ve been carrying it on my key chain for my daily use. Although I have many others SAK’s with me, this one seems special to me.
Bent old scale
Faded logo – can some one tell me what generation logo is this?
Chipped off the small blade
The inside of the scale – I glued it with Dunlop glue long time ago.
Made a rough cut.
Drill thru PCB
Pasted with double sided type to hold in position

The white color area looks like not fully bonded with resin.
The next morning it turns to this ugly looking chocolate bars
More grinding on the center area to compensate the warp phenomenon.

Next, I will find myself some time to get all the blades and tools polished to mirror finish.
