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!
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
Erst mal Respekt zu deinem tollen und hilfreichen Kanal. Und dann will ich Dir noch Respekt dafür aussprechen, dass Du immer offen und ehrlich sagst, von wo Du Ideen übernommen hast. Das zeugt von persönlicher Größe!
So after watching a number of Felix videos I went our and bought a huntsman. Didn't realise it came without pen etc. Watched vids, did mod, chuffed. Now fathers day has just passed in UK and I now own 3 SAK (champ, huntsman and compact). 1 for backpack, 1 for jkt and one for EDC! What a lucky chap I am! Felix keep them coming. Your enthusiasm is catching.
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.
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 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!
We did a shout out to you on one of our videos where we forgot our spoons and had to make them from a tree. Your video saved the day and we had a blast doing making them in the snow. Love your videos! Life time victorinox people here too! Woot!
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!
If you happen to have a food dehydrator you can set the temp and bake it! They have a temp range up to 156°F and a timer. (These are good for drying 3d print filament too...)
Thanks for this video, I just ordered green plus scales to put on my 35 yr old Camper that had a chip off one of the scales for years! Great update for this oldie!
They should sell replacement scales, with modular tools. Like: A whistle A clock A flashlight A single-hand-opening slip knife A storage compartment for matches A magnetic scale that is made of ferro rod material Ect.
@@rescueraver I think it would revitalize their product. Now you have the time-tested design and strength of a 100yo+ product, with not only customized colors, but modular toolsets. :) Thermometer, compass, wrench set (hex cutouts), storage for water purification pills or matches, flip-up mirror, ect.
@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic I think it is one of those great mysteries of, Why has someone not done that before. For a tool that is associated with the outdoors I really think that Victornox might have either missed that one or may have researched it and found that it doesn't work for thier plans
Hello! I just followed your instructions and the scales on my champ popped right off very easily with no plastic residue left on the knife. Thank you for this video, and for all your videos. I enjoy watching them and have learned quite a lot.
The Guru is back - we can all relax and stop nervously sharpening our Victorinox knives - I have never tried that - I have always just popped the off and on until they don't - great tip!
@@FelixImmler Well I want you to do a review on the Farmer as its the best SAK in my opinion. So more people will know its advantages and disadvantages. Thanks so much for your reply Felix. Always a pleasure. 👍👍👍
@@RipMK747 How are you getting on with the farmer? I was going to get the farmer because of the alley scales in my opinion there better than the Red plastic ones so I might have to look into getting a new alox Swiss army knife my favorite victorinox is the fieldmaster it's got a great tool set just right for me so I'm really hoping that I can get a alox Swiss Army knife with the same amount of tools sorry for the long comment happy new yaer my friend
@@name5949 Happy new year mate!! Indeed the alox scales transform the SAK into a much tougher and premium EDC knife. It looks so damn cool too!! There's a new version called the "Farmer X Alox" with the addition of scissors which can be very handy just like the "Fieldmaster". Been EDC the "Farmer Alox" for more than 3 or 4 years now and its still my favourite knife of them all. Plus the reamer/punch of the Alox models are much better and its location on the SAK makes it so useful. Just go for it mate and you will love it to bits!! I would love to hear what you think of it when you have your new knife!! Cheers
@@RipMK747 at the moment my favourite Swiss army knife is the victorinox fieldmaster I've been using it for many years but I've want for it my 1st aloxs Swiss army knife will be with me next week I've gone for the farmer X 😍 because it's got near enough the same tools as My favourite victorinox fieldmaster but with them lovely lovely alox scales 🦾 because after some time the red scales get a little loose i know that you can get New plastic scales and Pop them on and off I've got a few sets but I don't want to be popping on and off scales so I've gone through and want for that lovely farmer when I've used it for a bit I'm going to give you some feedback can't wait to get it thanks again pal 👍
Many thanks for this video Felix. My dads old MOUNTAINEER SAK had a broken red scale and had no tweezers or toothpick- after watching your video I ordered a new set of scales from eBay but the Silvertech ones and a set of toothpick and tweezers in a red colour. The new scale has the hole for the pin. The old red scales didn’t. I now have a refurbished SAK to replace my own Climber knife that was recently confiscated at an airport
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..
Thanks Felix. My new Plus scales arrived (from Switzerland) today and I am upgrading my trusty Hiker, changing to black too. There are a lot of videos on how to change SAK scales, but I came straight to yours, I don't trust anyone else lol. Just took the old red scales off following your tutorial, now I going to watch your vid on how to mount them correctly.
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!
Thanks Felix. I’ve replaced a few scales on my Victorinox knives but a couple of them were rather loose and I ended up having to super glue them. It worked ultimately but I don’t think I’ll be able to replace these same ones now.
very useful trick to heat up the knife in hot water, I'll have to try it when switching to plus scales. To avoid leaving marks from a vise, I took another aproach: I cut off two 10cm-pieces of an aluminium-L-profile - as they have a smooth surface, they don't leave marks. I also use them to cut short threaded bolts. Clamping the thread will leave indentations in the aluminium, but you don't mess up the threads.
After watching your video I think I will use a piece of beautiful hardwood called bloodwood to make new scales for my Swiss army knife! Thank you very much for all of your very instructional and entertaining wideos!😁
Hey Felix, thank you for another really "cool" trick ( ; Some minutes ago i simmered my Ranger sous vide, the handle shells as well. So that they didn´t need to dry after the process. Now i´m guilty of wasting some plastic, but at least i´ll use the leftovers for a portion coffee in the woods : )
I own many many very high quality knives some even custom but I have never owned a Swiss army knife.. I love this channel and I love seeing your ideas with how to use a Swiss army knife 👌😎 you have made me want to own one and they are inexpensive.
@@RatsAndFunTV Yea I'd never put down the brand I've just never owned one. They seem awesome in ways a leatherman multi tool isn't. There is something classic about them and simplicity that I like. I need to buy one but there are so many I can't figure out which one would suit me the best.
@@r1w3d If you whant to try a good tool, try the swisstool. I hown one from 1996, and there is nothing who have fall appart, or broke or whatever. I am prety sure than you will apreciate . That cost the same than the leatherman. I said all this to encourage you to try it.
Hello Felix! I had a Swiss Champ that had Plus scales, and a Huntsman that did not. I swapped the non-Plus scales over to the SChamp, and then sent it in for maintenance to Victorinox. I asked them to replace the scales for Plus scales, which they did. I now have Plus scales on my Huntsman and SChamp. :) The Plus Scales are about $16 on eBay, but they were about $3 for Victorinox to replace them. Cheers!
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 :)

Thank you for this great demonstration Felix! Glad you are back, I have been missing my weekly SAK lesson!
Hello David. Thanks a lot for this wonderful compliment!
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).

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.
If you happen to have a food dehydrator you can set the temp and bake it! They have a temp range up to 156°F and a timer. (These are good for drying 3d print filament too...)
Awe man. You rock! I just modified my ranger knife to do this! Super awesome hidden feature :)
Thanks a lot for your comment...
I just bought my first set of new scales ever for my Huntsman, this was a huge help Felix thank you!

Thanks for the instructions, Felix. So easy, even a dummy like me can follow.
Thanks for the ‘how to’. I used the 84mm Victorinox Watch Opener to do the removal - worked like a charm.
-Has a prodigious collection of Swiss army knives
-uses teeth to cut masking tape

A most interesting video and good to see you happy and well . Thanks again Felix .
Thats very nice! Thanks a lot!
very useful trick to heat up the knife in hot water, I'll have to try it when switching to plus scales.
To avoid leaving marks from a vise, I took another aproach: I cut off two 10cm-pieces of an aluminium-L-profile - as they have a smooth surface, they don't leave marks. I also use them to cut short threaded bolts. Clamping the thread will leave indentations in the aluminium, but you don't mess up the threads.
Awesome tips! It's a super easy way to change the scales :)
Thanks a lot!!
Have you tried using adhesive backing rubber or foam gaskets used for windows to put on the jaws on your vice?
No, but his is a fantastic idea!
After watching your video I think I will use a piece of beautiful hardwood called bloodwood to make new scales for my Swiss army knife! Thank you very much for all of your very instructional and entertaining wideos!😁
I hope your next mod video is how to add parts to a SAK. I would love to add a saw blade and magnifying glass to mine.

Thank you Felix, you have the answer as ever!
Perfect timing, Felixman. I bought the plus scales online and they should arrive in a day or two. Thanks!
Good luck!
Hello Felix!
I had a Swiss Champ that had Plus scales, and a Huntsman that did not. I swapped the non-Plus scales over to the SChamp, and then sent it in for maintenance to Victorinox. I asked them to replace the scales for Plus scales, which they did. I now have Plus scales on my Huntsman and SChamp. :) The Plus Scales are about $16 on eBay, but they were about $3 for Victorinox to replace them.
Cheers!
Super Trick!!
