The AB/SKM "Do it yourself" are fully assembled EXCEPT for the spring and the pin that retains it
I think they are equal or Suoerior to the standard Stiletto

[junior]

i was thinking something that involves a little more assembly

At some point you'll need a :
belt sander
drill press
Dremel
and make things from scratch

oh yes,the kits are only a temporary scratch to the itch.

What's ya gonna use for scales on the leverletto ??

[junior]

i dont know, probably maple, its just the most available hardwood, i work shipping and recieving and always have these hardwood skids on hand, i know it sucks, but again i work shipping an recieving so you can imagine i dont make very much and its hard to justify spending money on rare or costly materials for a hobby ive just started. by the way is the channel width for these leverlettos 5/16 like the mikovs

[j.a.c.]

don't remeber this width off the top of my head. I just mark the scales and cut them tight , then slowly file em till they fit snug with out binding the flat spring.
check your p.m.'s

Junior,

If you have a lumber store nearby you can almost always obtain scraps for very little cash or even free. Doesn't take very much wood at all for a knife. DON't go to a Home Depot. A lumber only store will have some good stuff.

[junior]

thats a fine idea didnt think of it before, i usually try to avoid home depot anyway, just find that thier employees are douche bags

[butch]

I put a 1/4 router bit to the channel and it appear to be a perfect fit maybe a hair snug.
