Source for SAK Scales?
on: March 27, 2023, 07:40:01 PM
Howdy all, its been a bit since I've been on here.

I picked up this Marlboro Troubleshooter the other day for $10.  The tools just needed a cleaning and the blades touched up.  The scales, though, looked liked something had melted the back side (the one with the vic logo).  So I polished them up, which removed the Marlboro logo.  The top scale is a bit loose, and so all told, I'd like to replace them.

I don't normally love cellidor as a material, particularly the modern hollow scales, but the fancy material aftermarket scales cost multiples of what I paid for the knife. Its not really worth it to me to spend that kind of money on it (I'm not a huge 91mm fan anyway).  S,o I figured I'd just get some bog standard red cellidor and call it a job, but the cheapest I've found are $17 + shipping, which still seems a bit crazy.  I remember back in the day Felinevet was the go-to for these (and they were like $5, IIRC).  Is there a current forum favorite source for scales?

Any pointers appreciated!

I remember seeing options on Ebay, although I've never purchased any from there. Stock and custom ones.

In the US, you'll have a hard time finding them at those prices, but most European dealers have them for like 3-4 USD. Shipping would know it though for one set.

I usually just buy a doner SAK to swap scales.  I have picked up a set of 10 58mms for as low as $10.00.

Thanks guys. That’s kind of what I thought. Looks like there aren’t any inexpensive US sources for new scales.

I may go ahead and bite the bullet for a set anyway. I think I’ll keep this to give to one of my kids when they’re older, so it would be nice to have it look nice.

A quick check of my usual sources reveals:

- New 91 mm scales for ~$11 a pair on Etsy, but you would probably want to get four pair for $44 to get free shipping

- Like new (“removed from new knives”) scales on the ‘bay for about $10 shipped for three sets of scales.  Of course, there is a good chance these would have to be glued on…

I've ordered plus scales from this seller on ebay. It's 20 bucks but you get all the add-ons which is nice. I've only ordered once from this seller but so far so good.

I am a bit late with suggestion since you already polished the logo away... But I have found that CA-glue can save a lot of worn scales. Maybe next time ;)

Thanks, I'm still curious how that works?  I assume you fill the voids with CA and then sand and polish?

Either way, the back scale is a bit loose and doesn't hold the toothpick in securely, so I'd want to change them anyway.

Thanks, that's basically what I was finding. I guess I have to get OK with them being much more expensive now than in the past.  It will certainly make me think twice before picking up another random "bargain" 91mm.  Heck, for most two-layer varieties, the cost of scale replacement is almost as much as just getting a new knife.

It might have only cost you $10 -
But it's a really nice model and would be worth way more than that - So maybe worth a little investment - as you say!

The Heidi Shop (a Swiss shop) sells them:  https://www.swiss-knife.com/en/swiss-knives/handles-sides.html  They are kinda pricey though.  They do have some deals where you get some freebee scales when you buy a new knife and I have managed to get a set or two like that.

Got the plus scales in today. Looks nicer for sure. I’m ambivalent about the red toothpick and tweezers, though it would look nicer if the pen was also red. Either way, still nice.
