There aren’t any made by Victorinox, I think.

You could add a pen slot yourself. It's been done by others; there are threads here. I've done it myself with an old cellidor scale. I used a Vic metal saw and small blade. The 91mm plus scale is thicker than the plain one, and to be deep enough, the slot almost went through the scale. A nylon scale might be a better choice. I made the slot on the front scale as there's not enough room inside the back one.

You're really best to make custom scales. I don't think I've seen any for sale.

I've seen some for sale in the past and missed out on buying them by a couple of hours :ahhh  For me they would really fill out the usefulness of the Waiter.
May have to try the above suggestion now though :think:

Found new scales 84 mm at Victorinox shop: they still have some for sale, in black, red and white

I've modified mine to fit a pen in the Waiter (which now is an 84 mm Plus).

And like Sawl Goodman said above, it's slot almost went through the scale. But f you take your time, it works  :salute:

I bought some pink 84mm scales for Euro1.50 each scale... haven't given them a home yet but I thought pink! You don't see them every day.
Not got a pen slot. Which is a good thing. It's impossible not to lose those pens anyway.

I believe those do not have the corkscrew cutout. Correct?
You should seriously visit vicfan.com. All the hoopy froods are doing it.

Surely, those from the My First Victorinox series, translucent pink or blue. I haven't seen any other pink ones being offered, and that price corresponds to standard models EU Vic prices.

Time to grab your Dremel, some files, sanding paper...

:iagree:

But that would still leave holes on the exposed edges between the ribbing. Wouldn’t look nicely finished.
