I have a few of these scales.  The snap on and fit just like regular scales.  With one pair, the notch for the tweezers was a little more recessed (I believe due to height of tread) but still easily removed using fingernail.
Thanks for the reply!  I gotta take a look into this! :cheers:

Remade Knives is in a transition, so there selection is not as good as it has been in the past, but scales come available frequently.

Welcome to the forum.
I have no problem if you PM my, but as Exeter said you need at least 5 posts, which is pretty easy to do.

OK sorry i will try to ask to you here:
 i'm from Italy.
I would need a favor from you if it's possible.
i'm a zippo collector and i'm looking for a zippo that is sold only on us site and sent only to usa, no other countries.

I don't know anyone there in usa, i have looked for a zippo forum and i have seen you have a lot of posts in this forum so i'm pretty sure you are a reliable member to put trust in.

ok let me ask: if i would pay you through paypal family and friends could you buy for me that item and send it to me in italy?

I would pay for the zippo plus shipment and a tip for the favor .

i know it's a strange request but please, it would make me happy.

Thanks in advance

Matteo

Day 23

Wenger Pocket Mountain Bike 

Not much of a biker myself, so I can't say I understand fully what is the significance of the hex wrench combined with a long screw head, maybe to adjust how long you want the wrench?  The detachable wrench design is genius, and the combo tool is interesting too.  It also comes in a transparent sheath, which is pretty thoughtful.

That is a really cool knife that I have never seen before and would have loved when I was doing alot of long distance cycling.

The screwing portion of the hex wrench is part of the chain tool.  The length helps give leverage for whichever you are using.  The removable wrench is also a spoke wrench and tire iron.  The shape of the combo tool is probably so it can double as a second tire iron as well.

After you get the posts to pm, then we can discuss what exactly you need.

If you are interested in Zippos, there are a few threads here involving Zippos including the Zippo Owners’ Club that you may find interesting.

Ivo - that’s a beauty! :like: Comis - good to actually see one of those - tried to get one in the past, but the price was out of my reach! Doubt I’d have stuck it in my bike pouch as it would be too expensive to use! :rofl:

Day 23
Had an inventory of our battery lights for work and some Christmas lights. SAKs opened screws and clips, removed batteries scraped some residue and so on.

Switched the Parachutist for my Outrider to add some variety since the new lot is still delayed.

 The screwdriver is as good as I remember and the knife is quite nostalgic to me because it is my very first SAK.









Day 22 of 30

Today was fieldtesting more of my GAK, gotta say i like it.

I'll have to put up a pic of my Day 23 knife later...but considering Sos's other thread, I can tell you is isn't a RED one.  ;) :D

....

I like how this Challenge and the decision to 30-day/30-knife rotate has made me *think* about what I carry and why I choose and prefer various knifes and configurations. Thanks to *all* the co-challengers for making it fun and interesting too.  :cheers:  :tu:
