Changing SAK scales

[bobnery]

Hey guys I know they basically just snap on and off, but do you have any tips for changing out scales on SAK's
Thanks

go carefully! the older ones are solid and may be more brittle, the newer ones have cavities inside. if you open all the tools you can see where the 3 pins are inside, giving you a view as to where to work your flat tool that your using to "gently" pry the scales off. one pin-pop- the next pin-pop- then the last. it's pretty simple, just remember the liners are thin so a lot of pressure could bend them some, but generally it's pretty easy. good luck
