I don't think you can easily remove the cross from the logo. There are knives with a company logo on the front scales that don't have the Victorinox shield and cross.
Maybe you can make your own scales from wood or other material?

Nylon scales are available on the Spartan, Camper, Climber, Huntsman and possibly other models as well. You can always remove the scales and put them on your favorite model if that one is not available with nylon scales.

Oh, there are SAKs with a different Vic shield without cross, but those are quite hard to find :)

Just ask the seller. I often do and they are usually willing to ship to Europe, but no idea about UAE. Again, just contact the seller :)

If you're looking for scales, go to Beehive of Saktivity over at EDCsource or Rotokid's shop at SOSAKonline (and soon EDCsource also).  Both are very good sources of parts and very helpful.

Why would you want to do that?  You can buy aftermarket scales but I don't know of any without the shield. By the way it's more of a plus sign rather than a cross. A cross has a longer center and more narrow width.
If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?

Well, you can't deny that the Swiss cross has a Christian background. And if that does not match with ones beliefs, I can totally understand why one doesn't want it on a SAK.

Shouldn't the Middle Eastern region sell SAKs with a modified logo on them? Have you checked your local area for such knives 3bdul3zeez?

You should be able to get a pair of wooden scales with no emblem on them. Wood is a very nice handle material.

Makes sense. You could probably remove the shield and cross together from the scale. Then carefully cut the cross out with a razor knife. Superglue the shield back in place and done. Oh before you reattach the shield be sure to sand the area where it was or the cross imprint will still be visible. Hope that helps and wasn't trying to offend anyone. :D

Or look for a set of nylon pulls- I thin Neil sometimes has some on EDC Source, and he might be willing to ship to the UAE. Those logos aren't very deep, or sometimes even PAINTED on. Just take fine sand paper to it for a few minutes, followed by 000 steel wool. Takes the logo off, gives it instant age, and the "brushed nylon" scale is, IMHO, one of the more grippy options other than Alox.

And as I recall you are in a land of sun and sand- Alox is more like branding iron I bet.

Alot of the new Classics (small 58mm keyring model) have a printed on cross that can be polished away with a bit of effort.

Alternatively if you can find advertising SAKs with stuff printed on the front you can also do the same (but check as sometimes the shield is put on the back if the front has advertising.

The SAKs with the globe in place of the cross (like Reinier linked to above) is an option and may actually be easier to locate in the UAE. They are pretty rare in the US and Europe.

I have a grand total of one 91mm set and one 84mm set of completely unbranded red scales.  These are pulled from another knife though rather than brand new.  But if you get stuck send me a message :tu:

I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

Just curious what religion that is, as crosses are fairly ubiquitous in life - The cross on the SAK is a representation of the Flag of Switzerland, one of the most tolerant  countries on earth - it has nothing to do (AFAIK) with any religious symbolism.

I am here in Mesopotamia, been here 3 months (and my 2nd time here).....Crosses are banned in the Middle East in many countries due to Islamic Sharia law.....only Islam is allowed to be practiced, no religious freedom, etc.   Hence, why you have the Red Crescent instead of the Red Cross, for example....I would say more, but will not.

No, because it would be counterproductive to discuss it any further, and possibly insulting to do so.  Whether you agree or not is immaterial- the fact is that he does not want to carry anything with a cross.  How many members here avoid Black Oxide or certain brands, and yet no one belittles them for that.

Multitool.org is a religion and politics free zone, remember?
