I call it the Machinist

[u/JJYak695]

I built this as a gift for my best friend who owns 2 manufacturing businesses; mostly machining parts of aluminum. After watching him run CNCs for a number of years I choose a toolset I thought would be useful for not only for everyday tasks but to also run a business, and while inside the shop operating manufacturing machinery… his favorite color is also blue. Pretty proud of this one, outa the few SAKs I’ve built this turned out to be the best one yet.

Yea someone else mentioned this in my other post. To be honest, I didn’t realize there was a difference with the reamer. I saw a bunch of other sak models has the reamer in the small blade location and thought it would be perfect for this build. So far so good, theres no play or anything like that, install was seamless. Maybe it’s not “correct” but it seems to work.

Did you have to thin the spacer that’s typically there for the small blade?

I did not. While it is slightly thicker than the pen blade it was still within the same range of all the other tools that share the same footprint, and less than 0.010” thicker than spring overall so I just sent it.

Good to know, I was planning on doing the same thing soon.
