'Hello Youtoob!' 😂 i love this man
Me tooo bhecause he is coote
We all do :)
The kind of man you would love as your neighbour
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!
Thanks a lot for this kind feedback!! Right now i upload the last video for 2021.
He’s a bit of an expert. He did write a couple books about it.
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
I think it is great that you give credit to other creators you learn from. More people should do this.
Thank you!
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.
Awe man. You rock! I just modified my ranger knife to do this! Super awesome hidden feature :)
Thanks a lot for your comment...
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!
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.
Thanks for the instructions, Felix. So easy, even a dummy like me can follow.
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!
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!
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 :)
Welcome back Felix, always smiling watching your videos. Thank you.
Thanks a lot dear Greg!
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.
Yes, super hint. That's true!
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!
Haa ha haaaa, thanks a lot for this wonderful story!! 😂😂
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.
Super trick...thank you!
I just bought my first set of new scales ever for my Huntsman, this was a huge help Felix thank you!
Ohh i am happy that my video helped you!
I'm so happy to see you back, I was starting to worry about you. Love your videos.
Thank you so much!
Very informative, Felix! Thank you SO much for sharing such cool tips, tricks, and modification information. Keep these terrific videos coming! Vielen dank! :D
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.
A good one Felix as always. Keep up the good work!
Super idea!!!
That is a great idea
@@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
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!
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback!
Felix, So Very Happy to See You Again ! Great video. Keep them coming Please !!!
Thank you so much Matthew!
Just recently discovered your channel. A treasure trove of information with a dash of good humor! Thanks!
Welcome! Thanks a lot for your wonderful feedback!
I have been missing your videos. Happy that you are back, have a wonderful and healthy 2020.
Vielen Dank lieber Thorsten! Ich brauchte nur eine kleine Pause. 👍
Thanks for this video I'm getting ready to customize some of my collection and this is a great help!
Great to have you back. Hope you enjoyed your time off
Yes, the break was relaxing!
I personally tried it just now with a hairdryer. Works just as well and takes less time to heat up.
Good idea! Thanks for your feedback!
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.
Thanks a lot Michael!
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 a lot for this super trick!!
Thanks for the ‘how to’. I used the 84mm Victorinox Watch Opener to do the removal - worked like a charm.
Thanks for the great tips Felix! I just put yellow plus scales on my Fieldmaster. Having that pen will be super handy! Love your videos!
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback!
A most interesting video and good to see you happy and well . Thanks again Felix .
Thats very nice! Thanks a lot!
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
As always, a very useful and helpful video, my friend! Looking forward to your next posting!
Thank you so much brother!
Good to see you back and thank you for the great video.
Thanks a lot for watching Bart!
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!
Perfect timing, Felixman. I bought the plus scales online and they should arrive in a day or two. Thanks!
Good luck!
THANK YOU for this video! I just bought a Victorinox Explorer along with a set of PLUS scales for the pen.
Fantastic tip! Thank you for sharing these with us all.
Thanks a lot for watching my videos!
Excellent video! I really like those yellow scales too!!
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!
So glad to see you back!
Thanks a lot for your comment!
Thanks a lot for your lesson. I just found you and immediately subscribed to your channel, hope I can keep learning from you.
YESSSSSSSSS now it is a good Friday! I missed the videos my friends :) great tips! I wish I watched this last week haha I actually changed scales on my 58mm Rambler and I think I cracked the red scales. but the new black scales look nice! cant wait for the next video have a great weekend!
Thanks a lot dear Luke!
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!😁
Thanks for excellent instruction video which enabled me to safely customise my compact SAK.
Thanks for your positiv feedback!
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.
Thanks a lot Simon!!
Learned something new. Did not know about optional scales that hold pen. Thanks.
Hello Michael. Thanks a lo for your feedback!
Youve been gone for what seems like an eternity, that i thought those cows ran you out of town. Lol. Welcome back and thanks for sharing.
Haa ha haaa, thanks a lot for your funny comment!
Thank you Felix, you have the answer as ever!
Thank you for this, worked well. Don't have a vice so used 2 small chopping boards on the kitchen and careful body weight.
Thanks, Felix👍👏👏👏 This reminds me to check Amazon for your books.
Thanks a lot! The new english book comes out at 9th of june 2020.
Glad to have you back Felix

Top wie immer ! Schoenes wochenende👍👍bis zum naechsten video

Nicely done Felix.
Thanks a lot Richard!
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!!
Guter Trick mit dem warmen Wasser. Bin schon gespannt auf die Modifikation.
Gruss Rolf
Danke Rolf!!
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.
Thanks a lot for your comment!
You can dissolve super glue with laquer thinner I believe.
@@jackpavlik563 Thanks for the tip. I'll remember to do that if I need to change the scales.
Thank you! I just swapped my yellow plus covers from my Huntsman onto my Mountaineer !
well done!
Great video. Thanks Felix.
Thanks a lot for commenting this video!
This trick is great. I've seen too much cracky SAKs to do the same to mine, so I was thinking if it's a good idea to heat it up with hand warmers (they are about 50°). Anyways, great video and the yellow scales look really nice. Greetings 🇵🇱!
Yes, thats a good idea for sure!
Willkommen zurück, Felix! Oha, jetzt gehst Du sogar unter die Modder. Da bin ich aber gespannt was noch kommt.
Danke für deinen Kommentar Reiner!
