Yes you can. The shield/cross is usable, but the scales will have at least a recess in then where it was. Or might be quite trashedI have removed some by picking away at the edge with a sharp blade and then gently prying under the exposed edge. With some you can push them out through a hole in the back of the scales.I've reused the shields on wooden scales on some knives.

You might be able to split them in half if you use a knife, like batoning in a log.

Those scales look lush Nick I think you can carefully glue it and then build up layers of varnish until the shield is flush. Great job BTW
Maybe carve a little into the scales, so as the logo would be flush with the surface?... It's a very delicate thing to do, it might damage the scales.
I think Archerwin just uses glue and clamps the scale firmly - with a protector layer etc of courseHe has a blog and a guide to do this.
Love it Nick - looks brilliant! Wooden scales look amazing with the shield on. Great job

Just checked. I've got HQ non slip varnish in the basement, but have no idea how to do it properly...Brush? Roller? Tape off the rest of the knife? Leave it like this?

You payed attention I checked the can and it states that it should be applied by brush.I tested paper tape to cover the rest of the knife which will work.The can also states that the varnish is ready for a second layer after 2 hours and a smooth sanding.It's dried to full hardness within 24 hours.If I start now, I can do the second layer at 7pm, but I need to be somewhere by 7h30pm. Tomorrow is a busy day with little to no time for this.So I'll have to wait untill monday, when my girlfriend is off to work and I can do whatever I want, whenever I want
