Hello, I'm up late and I am wondering: How dificult would it be to DIY my own SAK scales out of deer antlers? My plan is to take up hunting and spending more time in the woods, I carry a Swiss Champ and I've been loving it since I got it like a month ago and if I stumble across any discarded deer antlers, and or if I take down a deer some day, I'd love to make actual antler scales for my SAK.

How dificult would that be? Have any of you ever done this? And if so, how did you go about doing it?

If anyone has any suggestions, questions or general tips, I'd love to hear them!

This is probably a pretty obvious answer, but I'd like to avoid, if there are any, downsides maintaining a SAK with WD-40

Why didn't the Atlanta gang take any weapons, like the heavy machine guns at the CDC, from the abandoned military instalations on their journey?

I guess they don't know how to opperate them but they could've taught themselves right? Plus crates of ammo would probably also be near by.

I don't focus much on PVP on multi. servers, I tend to just build a 2x2 and farm tomatoes since that's a part of my characters story, since I tend to play like that.

​

I just don't know what weapon would fit me though, I tried the Hawkhound and Schofield, and the Bluntforce and Masterkey, all felt alright, the shotguns were amazing against people, but rifles fit the character more. Now I opted with the makeshift spruce rifle, since the damage is better than the 2 rifles and the ammo is easier to obtain.

​

I'm going for like a hunter/farmer mix type of character, what weapon would you suggest?

My sister gave me a pine plank, which I now don't know what to do with. Was thinking of cutting it up into smaller pieces and trying to carve something out of each one, is that a good idea?

This post is just about my observation and to gather more opinions on the matter, hopefuly y'all understand 😅 I might be completly wrong but like I said, that's what I noticed while being here.

I've been in this sub for about a month now I think, and I can't help but notice the divide of people here. Of course, what unites us is the respect for and appretiation of Vic. SAKs, but the noticable devide of people remains. I'm of course talking about people who really USE their tools, and people who collect them.

To be clear, I do not find anything wrong with either of the groups, since people spend money to support a brand we all love, but I am wondering what peoples opinions are about how other people use and treat their tools.

I myself am more on the users side, but I do like to maintain my Camper with regular sharpening and cleaning and I will replace the scales as soon as the factory ones crack or get more damaged than scratches.

Tl;dr: What do you think about people collecting SAKs and not really using them, and the other way around
