That's great, but... Why not just buy a new set of scales and put them on...?

Double sided tape would help the scale lay flatter.

Indeed, but I had none available, and it's actually surprisingly flat. I don't use that sak that much anyways, so...

Bottom line is what you used worked so

.

Certainly not critisizing your choice in how you made the repair.

Yeah, it's a temporary solution anyways... I'm looking forward to sending this to Victorinox for repairs...
Not sure if the warranty will cover the bent blade though (previous owner).
Or the wood glue I tried to use to fix it.

Oh well.
