Victorinox Swiss Army pocket knife restoration and customization.
I decided to restore an old Victorinox Swiss Army knife. This knife had broken scales and a dull blade. I replaced the original scales with deer antler and polished and sharpened the blade. I hope you liked my restoration.

I knew he was gonna replace the scales, but when he pulled out a deer antler.. I was like 'DAMN!" amazing job, and the result is so good you can't tell what this tool has been through

Outstanding job, sir. To others who may do this with your own knife, a word of caution; don't get too generous with the epoxy, a tiny dab will do. Too much, & excess can flow from around the rivets & into the accessory groves on the back of the scale, & your tweezers & toothpick will no longer fit. I've been carrying a Swiss Army Knife as my EDC for 37 years, & I learned this lesson the hard way. The internet has made acquiring replacement scales & parts infinitely easier than in past years, & the selection of aftermarket offerings is surprisingly diverse.

I’ve got a 32 yr old “camping” with well worn red plastic bits, this has given me the inspiration to do something.

Nicely done. From a new fan in Pennsylvania, USA. Now, I'm off to my garage to work on a very well worn 30+ year old SAK that has traveled with me to a dozen countries. I hope it turns out half as nice as yours.

@user-br3ou2cs9o Жыл бұрын

Look very good.😎 I also agree with others about some way of putting on a Swiss logo. The question is which one from which manufacturer and which series/year(s). Early on there were 2 manufacturers of Swiss Army Knives. Victorinox was founded in Switzerland in 1884 with a patent for the original Swiss Army Knife issued in 1897. Wenger was founded in Switzerland in 1893. Victorinox was located in a German-speaking area. While Wenger was located in a French-speaking area. The Swiss Army contract eventually was split 50/50 between Wenger and Victornix. So Wenger began to produce Swiss Army Knives from 1908 thru 2005. When it came to sales to the public Victorinox marketed itself as "Original Swiss Army Knifes" while Wenger marketed itself as "Genuine Swiss Army Knives." On April 26, 2005, Victornix bought out Wenger and eliminated their competition. The Wenger brand was kept intact until 2013 when it was completely merged into Victorinox. Today, the last remnant of the Wenger brand is the Victorinox-Wenger knife. It features Wenger’s original logo and classic 7 functions. Original Wenger products can be found on the used market for the discerning enthusiast who desires a quality Swiss product from the past.

Great to see you fixing up the knife , I have carved antler over the years and many years ago I was advised to ventilate well a wear a dust mask because there is a fungus that grows in antler that can grow in your lungs . Please advise viewers to take precautions.

Nice restauration, love the "custom scales" :) hint: if you want to reuse the celidor-scales, soak the knife in about 50°C warm water for a few minutes, scales get soft and go off without being damaged, and can be reused without epoxy

@alexjones4701 10 ай бұрын

Ah yes, this is how i put my +scales on. I could even modify it with one more slot where i carry 4 extra Zippo flints 😅. The +scales are great and came with a needle, tiny screwdriver you can twist in the corkscrew, pen, lanyard and ofcourse the standard tweezer and toothpick. They even have semi transparant scales which are kicka** because you can see all the tools. Got mine from Etsy.

❤ Nice,the only thing I dont like are the white parts of the scales.I apply carefully some leather stain (before you assemble it again) and it looks like the rest of it.If you put the knife after mounting and glueing the scales into the baking oven,at 55',for 4 hrs,you have a 60% higher glue power.
