How To How do I swap blades on a Skeletool

[mnblade]

I'm thinking of buying a plain-edge blade for my Skeletool. I'm a bit intimidated, though, about swapping in the new one. Have any of you folks done this? How difficult is it? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't done that particular swap, but I've done a few other mods. The blade is a simple liner lock, so there isn't any spring to fight. Just pay attention to where all the spacers and washers are as you take it apart, get them back in the same place as you go back together, it should be a piece of cake.

Just a thought, but you can probably unload yours and put that with the money you’d spend in the replacement blade and pick up a skeletool CX with the PE 154 blade already installed.
