Cheers!
The yellow looks good surprisingly enough. I like the idea of extra visibility
My scales were pretty scratched after about 20 years. I replaced the red with black….Sweet!
The 3D printed burnt orange scales are fire! Really love that shade and the improved visibility for those times when you need it is a welcome feature.
Thanks I sell my scales on Etsy check the out here www.etsy.com/listing/1096549518/victorinox-3d-printed-custom-replacement. If you looking for the to the yellow vic, I got that one off ebay. Cheers!
thank you for the tutorial. Im gonna sure replace an explorers scale with these.
No problem 👍
Warm up the scales with a hair dryer (or warm water) before removal and mounting!
Heat makes the Cellidor softer, and the scales come off with less damage (so they can be reused better), and it's a lot easier to press them on properly when they are warm.
Awesome idea - not sure why I didn't think about that. For anyone else reading this - Try this before implementing my c clamp method. Thanks for the tip!
@@BernardoBerndsen That’s what SHE said! Nothin but ‘tip.’ 😂
I use a small portable blow torch! Works like a charm. Burns them right off! Bahahaha!
Thanks for the video! Just got some replacement handles for a used SAK I picked up and this is exactly what I needed.
Glad I could help!
Thank you! This was incredibly helpful. I got the yellow and black versions with the pen & pin. I'm super happy with the upgrades! Oh, and I have the same DeWalt clamp. That worked perfect to ensure a solid placement
Glad I was able to help, I’m all about the little extras too. Cheers!
I enjoy your video thanks
Thanks! Its very helpful, i thought there only certain SAK can fit the pen. Cheers!
Thanks for the tip cause i had a gap in mine and needle kept falling out
Glad I could help!
Cool! Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I'm digging that yellow think I'm going to change mine
Big fan of the yellow myself!
Thank you for your demonstration. Often, I have wondered what the technique for is removing the scales.
Oops, at 7:18 you said add a flint. Actually, it is adding a ferrocenium rod, a.k.a. ferro rod. Recall, flint is stone used as a striker on another rock or high carbon steel. It is the ferro rod or steel sparking not the flint. Yes, anything hard and sharp scrapped on the ferro rod or high carbon steel, will cause both to spark.
You are correct, I miss-spoke. Good catch!
Nice! Where did you get the mini rug? Very cool.
Hello, very interesting video, I become your nineteenth subscriber signed ZITO from AKE
Thanks man! Great to have you!
Yo! 100th subscriber
@viperion18 Great to have you and Thank You So Much for the Support!!!
It would be nice if the scales had additional storage or capabilities. I saw someone modded their SAK to hold a high strength string and a fish8mg hook inside the scale. If it was slightly thicker, you could add a small ferrocerium rod or other item.
That's an interesting idea, I think I've actually seen that mod before too. If you are looking to add a ferrocerium rod check out Mini the Fireant or Firefly made by Tortoise gear. Might be something you'd be interested in. They are 2 mini Ferro rods that are made for swiss army knives - Cheers!
what kind of swiss army knife did you use to get the first side off? the silver one.
My Tinker deluxe - but note that the little blade is included on most SAK models - cheers
Can you buy a scale for the victorinox 580? Its 65mm and u can only find 58mm scales. Please help
That's a tough one, you can probably find some custom 65mm scales but note that they roughly cost the same price of a new 580. I have seen some metal ones before but not many make them and I cannot recall seeing any stock Vic in 65mm.
I have 2 rangers, both red, I'd like to change the scales on my newer one, do most new scales come with the needle hole (under the corkscrew) plus is it possible to get scales for it that will take a pen, or do you need to have a knife that already holds a pen?
Yes most new scales come with the needle/pin hole and also yes, the plus scales have a pen slot. If you look on ebay you'll find some seller that will sell you a package deals with everything, mico tools and scale. good luck
@@BernardoBerndsen THANK TOU 👍
I do have a question about the extra scale parts. Do they have one for the explorer as well?
Yes you should be able to purchase the same scale and use it on a explorer model. Both of these knives are 91mm and share the same scales. I hope that helps, cheers!
@@BernardoBerndsen thank you
No scales on your Etsy site :(
Just checked I still have a few left. www.etsy.com/listing/1117642389/victorinox-swiss-army-knife-scales-3d?ref=listings_manager_grid - cheers!
You missed opening the hole at opposite end of pen and tweezers and hole for extra pin.
You think yellow is the best hi-vis colour?
I do like hi-vis but really it's up to your liking. I have many in different colors, and the different models help keep them apart. Cheers!
@@BernardoBerndsenjust wanted to be able to find my knife when I inevitably drop it in the long grass while camping! Lol
I fucking hate victorinox' snap-on celidor scales. Even if you do warm up the scales they tend to age like ass and come off 2-3 years after the scale upgrade.
You could try a little super glue. Super glue is brittle and if you use a little in the rivets they’ll usually allow for removal if needed. Cheers
They are PINS, not needles.
