WilliamR I think I saw somewhere that the Brass Pins used on the 91mm knives are 2.5mm and 2.3mm, is this correct? If so do any of you have a source of supply for this material and is a particular grade of Brass Alloy required? TIA
MichaelRothenpieler WilliamR handelsübliche Messingstifte, gibt es als Stangenmaterial in Baumkronen oder Amazon Du musst nur die alten, original Messingringe verwenden, die beim SAK von Hause aus dabei sind. Ich weiß nicht, ob man die nachkaufen kann
29roadie No you want 2.5mm and 2.2mm pins. I buy them from Amazon. 10 or 20 long rods in a package. You can also buy the brass rings/bushings/rivets whatever you want to call them from various sellers on Etsy and I think I saw them on AliExpress also. Also two different sizes of course.
29roadie MichaelRothenpieler Yes they are called something different every time I see them referenced around the internet. I wonder what Victorinox actually calls them? Maybe @Jessica might be able to ask the powers at be so we could once and for all call them the same thing? I just list all the names I can think of here because I don’t know how the translation is going to go. Unfortunately I don’t have a link sorry. I have a number of new sets of them but I can’t remember where I got them. I pull apart so many knives that I always have lots to reuse. I will use new ones if I’m putting a high torque knife together like something with a CyberTool driver or watch case opener.
WilliamR These are Rivet Caps. Sadly a US company so no good for me due to shipping etc. https://sakparts.com/products/6pcs-brass-rivet-caps-tool-parts-for-91mm-victorinox-swiss-army-sak
SCTwist WilliamR $20 for a set for 1 knife seems ridiculously expensive. I'd look for a repair knife on ebay and drill out the pins carefully so that you can reuse the rivet caps. You then have a few spare parts as well (liners, springs, blade(s), etc.
MichaelRothenpieler SCTwist sehe ich auch als vorteilhafter an. Die Messing-Stifte kann man auch einigermaßen gut aufbohren
WilliamR SCTwist I posted the link in response to Michael’s question. I don’t need any. If I decide to modify a SAK I’m confident I can do it without damaging the rivet caps.
