Replacement SAK Scales

[ALR]

I am looking for replacement scales for my VNOX Huntsman. Anyone have any sources?

Thanks

You can also order new ones from http://www.pizzini.at/. I put white scales on my Ranger pretty easily. I'm pretty sure you can also get green and blue.

I have an older SAK that has the good quality metal tweezers, not those crappy plastic ones. Are those still available anywhere? I'm kinda scared to carry the knife, because I might lose those. It's kind of a keepsake from my dad, but I do like it. And the scales are worn, but in a good way, that I like. Maybe I should just buy a new SAK.....

I've never seen a Victorinox SAK that doesn't have metal tweezers....

Frank: Could you please elaborate a bit on how you put the new scales? How were the old ones attached in the first place? Were they epoxied to the metal? How about the spaces for the tweezers and toothpick?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi folks,
I have the Victorinox 91mm scales in red, blue, black, white and camo. But the white one will run out.
Victorinox allways had metal tweezers.

They're just pressed on, no epoxy. I put the little screwdriver on another SAK into the t & t slots and pried the old scales off. Then you tap the new ones on. The t & t slots are molded into the scales. After you tap the new ones on you just slide the t & t back. The first knife took me about 10 minutes to do. I was tapping real softly a little at a time evenly around the knife with a little brass hammer. The second time I just whacked it a few times and was done in less than a minute.

Thanks a lot for the info. I was always under the impression that the scales were glued to the metal.

Frank: How do I specify that I need the scales with a third slot for the pen? Are those the ones with a "+" next to them on the list?

Will those standard 91mm scales fit even the big 91mm models like the SwissChamps?

I think so. You might want to email Pizzini to make sure. The website has changed since I ordered mine. I think all of the 91mm models are the same. I'm not sure if the replacement scales have a hole for the straight pin.

I've replaced the red plastic on many in the past.Did some in cocobolo,water buffalo and desert ironwoodand a few other woods.Even one in stag.You guys should try it,and please don't ask me to do it as I am way too busy.Dave

The 91mm scales fits every 91mm Victorinox.
Yes the "+" means "with slot for pen" (I will change it with the next update and will write it clearly).
The scales with slot for the pen have also a hole for the pin.

Do they sell different colored scales for the 111mm lock backs? I would like some in black.

Nifrand, the Euro is the new European Union currency which is roughly equivalent to a US Dollar.

So far we sell only the 91mm scales. But I will ask for the other too (58mm and 111mm). If they are available I will get it.
