Title: Clock or light scales?
Post by: SuzukiGS750EZ on May 31, 2018, 09:39:38 AM: I've been looking at scales for my swisschamp and huntsman lite. I've found swissbianco titanium and carbon fiber plus scales, which I thought about buying each set and having one scale of each on a knife to match my spyderco military CF/ti. But I also like the idea of having the digital display or a light in the scales. Why idea where to find either?

That is a really cool idea with "show side" and "clip side" like on folders !

The liner also as a cutout on the side... here’s FolderBeholder’s pic...(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180531/57aa141aa0d675765d730d91aa83a86d.jpg)

Post by: Thunderpants on June 01, 2018, 07:57:29 AM: I can't think of a dafter place to put a watch than on the side of a Swiss army knife... It looks like a $1 piece of junk anyway. I am sure it's possible to make a decent looking timekeeper for a SAK but so far Victorinox's efforts have looked really lame and unimaginative.
