A coffee cup of hot water, two minutes in the microwave. Put the knife and the new scales in. It keeps the scales from chipping when taking the scales off and makes it easier to put the new scales on, by hand. Just use a wash cloth when pressing down by hand. I've put a ton of new scales on old, and new, Victorinox knives over the years using this method. Just put a new set of scales on a Cybertool Small before this video popped up on my feed. I have to have somewhere between fifty to one hundred Victorinox Swiss Army knives in my collection now. They're definitely addictive. Lol Edit: Let it all soak for a few minutes. I usually go with five minutes before removing the knife and new scales from the coffee cup.
Great restoration George. I. did not realize the scales on a SAK could be replaced until I watched your other video. Those whites scales certainly dress that knife up. Take care.
You as well brother 💪🏼, you look like you have more spunk in ur trunk now that ur feeling better. And im on the lookout for my pkg. I feel like a kid at Christmas. Thx again my friend 💪🏼🙏🏼
Yep got lucky there...lol. I missed a big score at the big swap meet. 😫 A very cool zipppo....lol. lesson learned but this one was a good one. Be safe my friend
Very nice George you did a great job making that old SAK into a fancy new step out knife WOOT! I was working on a package that will be coming to you soon while watching your video! I think you will be happy with it :) Looks like your feeling a lot better too, happy to see that!
Yep, very rewarding, not brain surgury for sure, and the result was way better than I hoped. Lol. Be safe my friend hope all is well with you and yours
George & Merry. Love your channel, opinel knives, fly fishing, camping at Boundary Waters, your awesome carving, Spam, cat, I too have 2 daughters. A man after my own. Thanks for all, I watched every single video, I know rogues like us don’t give a rats bum what people say but…. Please my friend I hate people poking fun (Just sayin’). Some friendly advise. No “A” in Victorinox. Not VictoriAnox buddy. Simple error. Love what you did with it. No dye on the slip. Color will leach into those awesome white scales. Love the Bucskin Great. Just Sayin’. Tony Rogue Blades…
👍 Hello George! Thank you for mentioning my channel. But the real Victorinox god is Felix Immler. Felix Immler also has a UA-cam channel called Felix Immler. It's really worth checking out his channel. www.youtube.com/@FelixImmler My Recuit that I used to work in the factory is in a much worse condition. Scratched, worn, scuffed and the tweezers fall out every now and then. The new handles look so cool. Really great! Nice cleaning, great work! My fingers are itching again and I want white handles too. But I want so much... green, black, white handles... it's awful. Maybe next year when I order a new Recruit for work.
Lol. I have seen his channel, 👌. It's hard to choose colors now that I have seen them all...sooo...I don't know...just have to get them alllllll. Lol. Be safe my friend.
Nice! I recall seeing someone using copious amounts of Rem oil to clean knives up. Lol Kevin do you know anything about that? Lol I use a heap of Rem oil myself.
Yep. I didn't show but I use alcohol to get rid of wd40 then mineral oil afterwards. Sorry forgot to mention that. Be safe my friend. Appreciate the input.
George I love your videos, but you are costing me money. I have been buying old Victoronix knives and refurbishing them. I plan on donating them to my sons old scout troop to give to scouts who need them.
I like those white scales, it looks like something you'd carry on a Sunday to me :)
Lol...yeaaas. family breakfast, outing, dinners, and impress your fellow Sundays guests.. 👌
Wow what a transformation ! I'm impressed ! Glad you're feeling better. Well done George
Yep getting there. It dud came out much better than I hoped. Be safe
Oh what a great transformation. Love the white so much that I will definitely be changing my “Recruit” to white.

Hello George!
Thank you for mentioning my channel.
But the real Victorinox god is Felix Immler.
Felix Immler also has a UA-cam channel called Felix Immler.
It's really worth checking out his channel. www.youtube.com/@FelixImmler
My Recuit that I used to work in the factory is in a much worse condition. Scratched, worn, scuffed and the tweezers fall out every now and then.

Nice! I recall seeing someone using copious amounts of Rem oil to clean knives up. Lol Kevin do you know anything about that? Lol I use a heap of Rem oil myself.
Rem oil?...
@@2ndchancegeorgeRemington gun oil.
The Knife Doctor uses it, it works well.
Ahhh. Ok. I use my knives for food stuff so go with mineral oil.vits ok.
Gorjus!!! I love Vic mods. I need to hit your guy in Germany. I'm still looking for the elusive 84mm scales in yellow.
Yep...wait arghhh. Forgot to put a link. I'll do that. Sorry. Be safe
Hey 2cg how did you what size scales to order ? I have a couple older saks that Id like to change the scales on.
You can measure the CLOSED knife. That is the size scales that are available. Example 91mm...hope that helps
Wery good work, but you must oiling ! WD-40 is for cleaning not for oiling ! 😊
Yep. I didn't show but I use alcohol to get rid of wd40 then mineral oil afterwards. Sorry forgot to mention that. Be safe my friend. Appreciate the input.
