what best new Vic scale material?
on: December 09, 2021, 11:14:35 PM
If Victorinox were to introduce a new [production, not exotic, with practical use in mind] scale material, what would you most like to see?

It seems to me that Makrolon would look great on a Rambler, with a brushed finish like the LAMY 2000 pen series.

Other ideas?

Maybe Delrin? It's been used for knife scales for decades. I love the Delrin scales on the USA Old Timer knives. Although, from what I understand, Delrin can degrade faster than ABS (cellidor) under certain conditions.

Makralon can get slippery I find.

One of my thoughts as well.

Although I would love to see Vic bring back the “engine-turned” SS scales.  Some of the nicest they ever made IMO.

I agree with nate j, engine turned (guilloché) scales on a 91mm SAK would be neat.

Stainless and G10 sound good to me.

Probably not gonna happen, but I’d like a G10 basket weave pattern or some other texture.

As a dedicated Ti fan, I already have a few after market set of Ti scales, but an in-house version would also appeal!

This probably excludes Titanium, which is my favorite.

Given that: Nylon or Cellidor. Cellidor wins in looks, but Nylon is more durable.
