Wait, you can change the scales of the Swiss Army knives?
Not sure if sarcasm, but just in case -> Yes you can. I bought the set from here:
https://www.ebay.de/itm/284906202228?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=707-127634-2357-0&ssspo=wv-wijqvtqk&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=FOpHjaIOR6e&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Then I just warmed the old scales using a hairdryer (I did not want to risk damaging the old scales) and then used a flat screwdriver to carefully detach the scales. And then you press on the new scales with a vise (but with a cloth or cardboard in between to avoid damaging the new scales).
I honestly wasn't aware you can change them.
Thanks so much for the product link and how-to, @Gorroth !
In this case, I am glad I could help. In fact, it probably sounds even more complicated in my description than it actually is. The whole process took maybe 15 minutes.
Nice, thanks Gorroth!
Yes. Yes you can!
I recently modified mine. Used a heat gun to expand the plastic and then a spudger to carefully lever the plastics off of their mounts.
Used a (padded) clamp to close the new scales back on.
Thanks @vext01
