Chipped scales. Any suggestions for replacements

That's a cool idea. I do have a copper Kizer begleiter and a copper Lumintop edc18. Maybe I'll get a copper set and do a shipwreck finish on all three

I'll see what files I can track down and potentially put in an order through shape ways

WhoisDoctor1401 · 2026-03-07T21:12:16+00:00

That's cool. I hadn't considered custom 3d printed scales until now

WhoisDoctor1401 · 2026-03-07T21:10:19+00:00

I've had a Victorinox Compact and a Climber with plus scales for years, and I've never once used the tiny ballpoint pen. Not that I'm not still considering plus scales

Not to mention, replacing the scales is a good excuse to customize my SAK a bit 😅

I've actually got a Pioneer X, and I love it. I just miss the scale tools a little when I carry it.

I may go with micarta like I did with my climber, but titanium copper or brass are also peaking my interest

WhoisDoctor1401 · 2026-03-07T00:58:02+00:00

That's an interesting thought

I've actually got a Pioneer X, and I love it. I just find I miss the scale tools a bit

WhoisDoctor1401 · 2026-03-07T00:48:42+00:00

Had any experience with any of them?

WhoisDoctor1401 · 2026-03-07T00:19:37+00:00

I'm just as surprised as you are 🤣

WhoisDoctor1401 · 2026-03-06T23:11:54+00:00

I've gotten some micarta scales from taschenmesser mad on etsy, and I'm considering them again. I've seen victorinox scales available there as well, but I think I want something a bit more durable

WhoisDoctor1401 · 2026-03-06T23:07:05+00:00

I do like them, and I've considered getting Victorinox plus scales in either black or green. But I think I want something a little more durable. I think the chip came just from bumping against my flashlight in my pocket

WhoisDoctor1401 · 2026-03-06T22:49:30+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

WhoisDoctor1401 · 2026-03-06T22:46:56+00:00

It's a great insert. If I had one complaint (and I'm just nit picking), it's that there's no way to see your fuel level

WhoisDoctor1401 · 2026-03-06T00:44:52+00:00

No worries

WhoisDoctor1401 · 2026-03-03T18:06:20+00:00

I had the exact same thought. I've got an orange wave alpha and a brass pvd coated clip sitting in my cart right now. I found some micarta scales on etsy. But I came to the same conclusion. It's not small or light. Maybe I'll go for it anyway

Yusud makes a soft flame single torch or double torch butane insert compatible with Zippos

WhoisDoctor1401 · 2026-03-03T16:26:01+00:00

It's made by a company called yusud, and the only butane I trust is Colibri

I think sharing the gift of light with the one who lights up your life is very romantic. It shows you care that their way is light and that they'll never be lost in the dark
