I knew he was gonna replace the scales, but when he pulled out a deer antler.. I was like 'DAMN!" amazing job, and the result is so good you can't tell what this tool has been through
Outstanding job, sir. To others who may do this with your own knife, a word of caution; don't get too generous with the epoxy, a tiny dab will do. Too much, & excess can flow from around the rivets & into the accessory groves on the back of the scale, & your tweezers & toothpick will no longer fit. I've been carrying a Swiss Army Knife as my EDC for 37 years, & I learned this lesson the hard way. The internet has made acquiring replacement scales & parts infinitely easier than in past years, & the selection of aftermarket offerings is surprisingly diverse.
Its funny. I got the same knife, when i was a boy, fifty years ago. But mine looks like new. I never used it in all those years. Your customising is great.😊😊😊
Look very good.😎 I also agree with others about some way of putting on a Swiss logo. The question is which one from which manufacturer and which series/year(s). Early on there were 2 manufacturers of Swiss Army Knives. Victorinox was founded in Switzerland in 1884 with a patent for the original Swiss Army Knife issued in 1897. Wenger was founded in Switzerland in 1893. Victorinox was located in a German-speaking area. While Wenger was located in a French-speaking area. The Swiss Army contract eventually was split 50/50 between Wenger and Victornix. So Wenger began to produce Swiss Army Knives from 1908 thru 2005. When it came to sales to the public Victorinox marketed itself as "Original Swiss Army Knifes" while Wenger marketed itself as "Genuine Swiss Army Knives." On April 26, 2005, Victornix bought out Wenger and eliminated their competition. The Wenger brand was kept intact until 2013 when it was completely merged into Victorinox. Today, the last remnant of the Wenger brand is the Victorinox-Wenger knife. It features Wenger’s original logo and classic 7 functions. Original Wenger products can be found on the used market for the discerning enthusiast who desires a quality Swiss product from the past.
Absolutely love it. I’ve been wanting to get upgraded scales for my favourite Swiss Army knife. You have inspired me to try and make my own. Thank you.
Great to see you fixing up the knife , I have carved antler over the years and many years ago I was advised to ventilate well a wear a dust mask because there is a fungus that grows in antler that can grow in your lungs . Please advise viewers to take precautions.
Nicely done. From a new fan in Pennsylvania, USA. Now, I'm off to my garage to work on a very well worn 30+ year old SAK that has traveled with me to a dozen countries. I hope it turns out half as nice as yours.
Ive always loved my SAK's. Maybe it's Nostalgia from Boy Scouts, or MacGyver, but they really do come through when you need them. The scales look great!
Nice restauration, love the "custom scales" :) hint: if you want to reuse the celidor-scales, soak the knife in about 50°C warm water for a few minutes, scales get soft and go off without being damaged, and can be reused without epoxy
Ah yes, this is how i put my +scales on. I could even modify it with one more slot where i carry 4 extra Zippo flints 😅. The +scales are great and came with a needle, tiny screwdriver you can twist in the corkscrew, pen, lanyard and ofcourse the standard tweezer and toothpick. They even have semi transparant scales which are kicka** because you can see all the tools. Got mine from Etsy.

This was way more effort than that cheap Swiss Army Knife deserved. Result turned out nice! I think the crappiest part of a Swiss Army Knife are those flimsy plastic scales. You fixed that.
What an amazing work experience and passion for restoring an old Swiss army knife 🔪 I loved and enjoyed watching the knife 🔪 restoration surgeon with appreciable skills 👌.

❤ Nice,the only thing I dont like are the white parts of the scales.I apply carefully some leather stain (before you assemble it again) and it looks like the rest of it.If you put the knife after mounting and glueing the scales into the baking oven,at 55',for 4 hrs,you have a 60% higher glue power.

Such a cool idea using antler!
Thanks!
The waiter was brand new Man. The video should be "change of scales"
He legit held a lighter to it to do a "restoration" video😂 but the scales he made were pretty cool, gotta admit
Totally Agree.
Its funny. I got the same knife, when i was a boy, fifty years ago. But mine looks like new. I never used it in all those years. Your customising is great.😊😊😊
Why didn't you use it?

I’m surprised by all the negative comments on this very skillful and creative modification/renewal. Great work!
Look very good.😎

From now on, I’ll always think of this video while looking at my Swiss Army knife!
))) Thank you for watching the video.

I glad you liked it!
I’ve got a 32 yr old “camping” with well worn red plastic bits, this has given me the inspiration to do something.
Nice job. I liked the tracing 'trick', clever.
Thanks!
Beautifully done mister good job
I like the antler scales best. Great work.
Дуже цікавий ніж,ще такого не бачила,робота як завжди чудова!

How'd it turn out?
Now THIS is what attention to detail looks like 👍😲
Wow! I thought you were crazy when you pulled out that antler. That looks awesome!
Great video! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻хорошая work! 🏆 I suggest everyone watch!!!
Ive always loved my SAK's. Maybe it's Nostalgia from Boy Scouts, or MacGyver, but they really do come through when you need them. The scales look great!
Nicely done! A piece of art 🎉
Very nice job. One of a kind. I want one.
Nice modification👍
Great job!
I never realised that antler was that hard to saw.
The end job was well worth
it 😊

Good job. Of course I would like to see the coat of arms of Victorinox on the handle, maybe inlaid, but it's so good. Like.
Great restoration 👏👍 Congratulations and Greetings from Belgium 😉🇧🇪🖐️

I came for the toothpick restoration. I was not disappointed.
Great job as always. I thoroughly enjoy what you do. Your fan from Arkansas, USA
Thanks for watching my videos! I am very pleased

Oh Man💥 I cant believe you did that in stag ! Wow" it turned out Fantastic !!! "Very Nice"
That is amazing!
Superb workmanship!
Beautiful restoration! Well done! From Indiana, USA
Might be more useful if the materials used were identified .
You do good to bring this wonderful little knife back to Life thats Amazing well done !
What a lovely job you’ve done, and an excellent video.
Thanks for watching my videos!
The ‘Waiter’ is my favourite model 👍🏼
Finally, something legit. The metal does not rot or rust because in the name of "Victorinox", Victor is the founder and Inox is the strong metal.
You made it from a standard Swiss Army knife to a ^ custom Swiss Army ^ knife.
He just wanted an excuse to put antlers on a Swiss army knife. It was fine
Nice job. I could smell that deer antler being sanded through my laptop.
Excelente restauración, y customización de la navaja Swiss Army, mu buen trabajo..!!
