You are the ultimate Victorinox legend Felix! I just used your method to change the scales on my victorinox handyman to the plus scales with the pen, and I was able to remove the old scales with absolutely no damage! Thank you!!! I love these workshops!

He’s a bit of an expert. He did write a couple books about it.

Invaluable help. I solved a problem with no fuss thanks to this video. My 4y son messed around with my knives, and managed to insert a pair of Leatherman tweezers from his Style PS into my SAK slot. They are smaller than victorinox tweezers so they fell deep in and were impossible to take out. Thanks to this video i managed to unlock only one rivet (the one closer to the tweezers slot), take the Leatherman tweezers out and click the rivet back in. Opening one rivet only allowed me to have my sak back with the scales holding fast as new. Thanks Felix

Thanks for the instructions, Felix. So easy, even a dummy like me can follow.

I think it is great that you give credit to other creators you learn from. More people should do this.

Thanks a lot for your comment...

By the way, there is a much easier way to remove scales without damaging them, and subjecting them to water submersion. Take 2 rice bags (used for heat application), place in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds to get good an warm (40-50C). Place one on a counter, the knife in the middle of it, and place the other bag on top. Let sit 5-10 minutes and then remove like in the video. Almost zero plastic is removed and much simpler (to me at least).

That certainly simplifies the process in removing the need to clean out all the water from the tiny spaces inside the knife AND eliminating the need to relube the pivots!

I suppose you could also use a ziplock bag to submerge the knife without getting it wet, if you didn't want to go and buy those heat bags.

Great to have you back Felix! When replacing the scales on a knife with a corkscrew, open it out before putting the knife in the vice. The corkscrew stands slightly proud of the scales, that way you get even pressure.

I personally tried it just now with a hairdryer. Works just as well and takes less time to heat up.

Thank you Felix, you have the answer as ever!

Thank you for this really useful guideline. I did that with ruby plus scales for my deluxe tinker. But instead of using a vice for reassembly, I soaked the new scales in the hot water, too!. Then, after quickly drying them, I could mount them by just laying the preassembled knive and scaless on the desktop between two paper towels and pressed from above like reanimating...worked with little pressure like a charm. No gap, no scratches, no danger of applying to much pressure.

Thank you Felix! Just recently bought your book Whittling in The Wild, and changed out the scales to plus today! It was as easy to do as the instructions in this video! I was lazy and failed to check the temperature in the water, so if the old scales are warped, that' my fault lol. Thanks again for the easy to follow steps as always :)

Thanks for this video I'm getting ready to customize some of my collection and this is a great help!

I just happened upon this video in my feed. It couldn’t have come at a more opportune moment. Just yesterday I had a look at my wife’s white SAK which I gifted to her 30+ years ago. The scales are all discolored from sitting in her various handbags with cosmetics over the years. My intention was to clean them up with 1500 & 2200 wet/dry sand paper then polish them. This will make the process much easier! Thank you!

He’s back! It’s always nice to start the weekend with your video. The hot water is a good tip. For putting the scales back on, you can also use a bit of wood between the vise and the knife to even out the pressure. Or just push down on it with your hands on a flat surface..

Sounds like a good tip! I just changed mine today by sticking a skinny screwdriver hook into the toothpick hole and twisting it just enough to pry the scale up. Then I slid the can opener from another swiss army knife up under it and slowly pried it up. Came off pretty easy! Now I have plus scales on my Climber!

Whoever knew it would be so easy. Thanks for sharing.
