- The video shows the process of making #custom wooden #scales for standard 91 mm #Victorinox swiss army knife. I made the scales from the mahogany, using a #CNC router and covered them with CA glue.
G-code, vector (cdr and svg) files and jpg from the scanner:

That machine would make my life so much easier LOL. I make them by hand out of wood and that certainly is a lot more precise way to do it
You should’ve CNC’d both sides and added the Victorinox emblem, that would’ve been really cool.
Nice job 👍
As a fan of Victorinox Swiss knives, I can say that I would rather have this than one of the new Alox models. Well done!
Thanks Jeff!
If you make some scales and sale it on the Internet, you will sweep the market by this desirable item earn lots of money. You might make a wealth. If you sale it I will be the first person ready to buy.
Super job mate!!
Tahnk you for good words!
@@CatLighting I would definitely buy some wood scales for my messed up scales of my old richartz! imposible to get nowadays for sure...
I would definitely buy wooden scales of this quality and details too
FANTASTIC job!! It would look perfect with the logo
Great video. Perfection at its best. Congratulations. Beautiful job.
Will love to see one set made of black African ebony.
Thanks a million for sharing the video with us, the Victorinox lovers.
The scales elevate the tool to a whole new level! awesome job!
The CAD and CNC work is interesting. But I just put some ink on the inner side of the original plastic scale and pressed it on to the wood to transfer the layout. After that it was just drilling holes and carving out the slots with a thin chisel made from the tooth of an old saw blade. And by the way, the original plastic scales can be removed with minimal damage by placing the knife in 150F water for a few minutes to make them more flexible.
You're spot on Bob.
Great show of craftsmanship! Now do one with the plus scales with the pen 😊
I want one
Hi, I did this project with my CNC and laser burn a little Victorinox insignia at the top of one of them, relly works! and looks so pretty! thank you!!
Awesome! Tahanks :)
You guy's are fantastic:the way you modify those knives, I could watch it all day long...
This is beautiful. I have a block of wood taken from the floor joists of a house I was remodeling. Figured I'd use it to make scales for a camping hatchet that came with paracord wrapped around the handle. This block of wood is around 115 yrs old and it's from old growth, so the grains are super tight. Just need to get access to a band saw. The rest I can do by hand.
Good luck, it's great fun!
I had the idea this morning to use a piece of blood wood which is beautiful hardwood to make new scales for my victorinox. This is an excellent video thank you
This is one of the best videos on CZcams. I even love the music.
Thanks bro!
Bravo, Sir! Best ones I've seen yet! Now I know why they cost so much to replace!
Wow! Just wow! Amazing skills man..from photoshop, to CNC and woodworking. Hat's off to you to give this knife a second life. Thank you for sharing this video.
This is a gift from my wife and my basic, most used tool edc... it must live ;)
Thanks for great comment!
Excellent work! If you ever sell these scales, I will be one of the first buyers. Really awesome!
VERY VERY GOOD ......10++
Fantastic job 👍👍
Great job!
Damn nice. I'd buy 91mm Plus scales.
Enjoyed watching and the outcome is outstanding:)
And that's what it's all about! Thanks :)
This is real customizing
Looks great! Just need the shield 🛡
Very, very good job. I just subscribed. I wish I had easy assess to CNC. I also have some custom mods, but watching your video I learned new things.
Nomadic I was thinking the same thing how many people can do that without the CNC machine
The word you're looking for is "vise." The scales are beautiful BTW.
Damn, all these years I didn't know about that bug 🤣
Tanks for cement! 😂
Ciągle sobie myślałem, że do tego lepiej użyć drewna stabilizowanego bo to za miękkie aż nie zobaczyłem patentu z super glue :) Pięknie to wyszło i extra się dało wypolerować. Godnie oprawiony :) Można się pokusić jeszcze o szwajcarski krzyżyk ale to już ryzyko na tym etapie ;)
Dzięki! Faktycznie stabilizowane drewienko byłoby pewniejsze ale muszę przyznać, że klej zrobił robotę i okładki dzielnie zniosły znacznie więcej upadków niż oryginalne. Jednak to już czas przeszły, scyzoryk wypadł mi pewnego wieczoru na placu i piesek go znalazł, to już było zbyt wiele ;) na szczęście tylko okładki ucierpiały, a i tak dalej siedzą lepiej na miejscu od plastikowych.
Także jest spora szansa na remake i tym razem chyba z krzyżykiem.
Muy bonita, un gran trabajo
This video is almost therapeutic!
Wow the end product looks realy nice.
Great looking SAK you have now Mr.
Reeeaaaly thank you :)
Thanks for the scales, nice job!!!
very good job, only the logo was missing
Very well done! Thanks for sharing!
Lovely 😍
Came out beautiful one of a kind
Absolutely gorgeous
Thank you Mauricio!
Que buen trabajo, yo pagaría por unas cachas así para mi victorinox, aunque le añadiría también el hueco para el bolígrafo, bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That is so nice and the editing is fantastic too! Brilliant Video!!!
Thanks MrFlix76!
excelent!!!!
Nice work. But i wouldnt change the original one if not so necessary.
Pure Genius at work 👍
Thanks dad :D
Beautiful work.
super job
Thank u!
this was very enjoyable to watch!
Thank you very much! It's very enjoyable to read that comment ;)
just a suggestion - will you be making custom Plus Vic scales in the future for more meditative yt videos?
Maybe there will be another film with scales in the second half of September, but maybe, we will see. And suggestions I will consider :) thanks again!
Que trabajo tan Genial 👌
Mis respetos a este señor
Muchas gracias :)
Fantastic job !!!
Thanks! :)
You make great videos. It is a shame that thare are only two :)
I have started two lamp projects, but hardly find time to complete them... And there is also my laziness ;)
:) and something with CNC involved :) it is eye candy for me :)
really nice work
really nice comment ;)
I totally dig this!
how beautiful it would be the originals covers if it be made of wood
The best
Nice work!
Amazing video great work
I would personally hand sand the entire piece.
*yes it would take *hours*, however I personally do not mind sanding by hand.
Muy bonita pero utilizo mucha tecnología al Hacerlo computarizado
What a great video! The music was great also.
Great job, congratulations! How did you treat the wood after the first sanding? What materials did the surface receive in order? It became beautifully brilliant. Maybe I can send a private message?
Sorry for so long, I wrote back to your message!
Well done, Sir!
Woowwww !!! beautiful
Thanks man!
Good job! Bravo!
Richtig cool - wenn man das passende Werkzeug und die Möglichkeiten dazu hat. Ich hätte auch gern Griffschalen aus Holz für meine Victorinox Taschenmesser.
Dank! In der Tat, da es eine Menge von Werkzeugen, die einfacher und präziser arbeiten, aber man kann es leicht ohne CNC-Fräsmaschine tun, hier ist ein Tutorial in Polnisch, aber es gibt eine Menge von Fotos:

Und es gibt viele Beispiele von Handarbeit (in den ersten Pfosten fehlt Fotos):

Sorry für mein Deutsch :)
Whoa późno wpadłem na filmik ale kawał dobrej roboty :) szkoda, że już nie mam frezarki bo aż korci jak się ogląda :D
Pozdrawiam
Ohhh! Nice job!!! Ask them an employment for special editions
It should give you a God satisfaction being able to manage knife elements in your way, really really nice job! CONGRATULATIONS!
Thanks :D
@@CatLighting thank you for sharing your ability and passion
What is the millimeter measurement of the depth of the rebate for each part?
I made my oak grips with two mora knives and 2 sheets of sandpaper. Left them a bit thicker than original ones, about 6mm. Wish I had a cnc machine, would be much easier to make.
cai I see your product?? awesome and interesting! Greetings
@@GrecoArgento m.imgur.com/a/GxNXGVm
Scales are a bit thinner than these pictures, i sanded them down a bit more.
@@GrecoArgento The knife is a Spartan and it earned it's name. It is almost 20 years old now, I had it since I was a kid and beat the shit out of it. I thought it deserves some new scales now it is retired :)

After the additional sanding.
Thank you for the nice video. What was the last solution you used (which you applied with a small brush after buffing)?. Was is something like tung oil, or anything similar? Thanks.
The inner side of the scales covered with boiled linseed oil for a slight improvement in moisture resistance. Thanks for watching and comment!
See I just got through writing on the other video that showed how they are made. I wrote the first that cracks off is the handles chip off
Wyszło świetnie :)
Dzięki! :D
Super wie weit die heute sind. Was haben wir uns damals als das aufkam gequält mit CNC Programme schreiben. Lang ists her...
Gute Zeiten für makers ;)
Beautiful!
I want to do a similar project- wood scales for my SAK- but I’ll carve the scales by hand. I’ve got no objection to CNC routers, for people who like them, but I have more fun when I cut things out myself, instead of using robots.
Nice songs you chose
This is the hard part...
Co un ottimo lavoro complimenti. ti chiedo come si chiama il programma che hai usato per creare le dimensioni interne delle guance e le.varie misurazioni.. Grazie mille
Grazie! Uso Corel Draw, ma può essere qualsiasi per la grafica vettoriale, ad esempio Adobe Illustrator, o Inkscape gratuito.
It's a beautiful‼️
Absolutely Stunning & Beautiful Craftsmanship...! Keep up the great work. I’ve Subscribe. Nick.
Thank you very much Nick!
CatLighting You are so welcome. I look forward to more Fantastic Videos. N. 😺
what were the sizes of endmills used
AWESOME!!!
Good morning. At first i want to Thank you for sharing your work.
I asked me if it is possible to get the cad drawing? Is this in vector Graphik? I tried it to make it on my own but i dont get it after several tries, ich think the Fotos are the reason.. Its verry frustrating 🙈😅
Thank you for answering.
Lg from Germany
Unfortunately, I can't make cad files. There are two vector files in the zip, cdr is a CorelDraw file and also contains photos, and svg is a pure vector file.
@@CatLighting hey, Thank you soooo much! Can you Tell me if this is for an 91mm?
Trochę mnie zaskoczyło to pokrywanie klejem cyjanoakrylowym. Tzn. w uproszczeniu można powiedzieć, że klej cyjanoakrylowy to tzw. "Kropelka", "SuperGlue" itd.?
To przecież gdybym tak klej rozlał na powierzchnię, a potem próbował go rozetrzeć/rozprowadzić szmatką to... ta szmatka by się przykleiła do powierzchni?
Czy to jednak jest jakiś specyficzny klej, który nie przykleja tej szmatki przy rozcieraniu?
Też byłem zaskoczony jak pierwszy raz zobaczyłem takie wykończenie ;) Dokładnie o te kleje chodzi, jest tego sporo rodzajów, ale właściwości i zachowanie mają podobne. W większości przypadków nie połączą ze sobą powierzchni w ruchu (chyba że to są palce ;D ) ja rozprowadzałem kawałkiem szarego papieru i pomimo, że z nim klej reaguje dosyć gwałtownie, to się nic nie skleja, dopóki nim poruszam. Najlepiej nakładać sporo cienkich warstw, wtedy szybciej schnie i bardziej równomierna powierzchnia wychodzi. Pierwsze razy są ciężkie.
Hi, it's me again.
I have a Victorinox Handyman, and like yours, mine has broken from the two sides, where the toothpick on one side, and the tweezers on the other, are. Mine has not the pen nor the hollow for it, (which I want to upgrade), so I can't scan the scales.
Could you please provide only the scan?
thanks in advance. And an incredible job there!
Hi a8, tahnks for good words! I do not know why I could not reply to your previous comment, but it looks like I can do it here. I can send scans to you as well as g-code files, but unfortunately I do not have a pen hole too.
It's true!! seems that I see pens everywhere now! lol
I was looking for the scales with the hollow for the pen, but I really thank you for your kind offering anyway. I found them in STL format (with the hollow!) so I think I'll take that road instead.
I really enjoyed watching your video ( and so did my wife and friends!), keep up that beautiful work, and keep us updated!
I subbed your channel :)
Haha! Thanks for your support and let the handyman serve :)
Very nice. Now you'll be too afraid to use it!
Thanks James!
I did the scales over two years ago, I used SAK every day since then, he has experienced a lot of falls and abrasions and a few days ago one scale cracked... But it still sticking perfectly and nothing flies like plastic ones :)
Excelent!!!!👏👏👏👏How much this??? Do you sells?
Unfortunately, I do not sell, my cnc cannot cope with the required accuracy at the moment.
Fantastico!,👍🏻👍🏻😎😎
Complimenti ancora!!👍🏻👍🏻😎
Grazie williams Caruso! :)
CatLighting prego Amico!😎👍🏻
do you want some rosewood to try? if so let me know and I will provide some free! great video and have to agree one of the best on the tube.
Forgive me and thank you for a nice comment, he escaped me somewhere! It would be great, but where are you from? I am from Poland, sending a piece of wood may not be worth the trouble :)
Nice!
Thanks! :)
Like. Subscribed. Shared. Respect.
And you rock! :)
I will love to send you free pieces de cocobolo and guayacan from thos country. This are more prettier than the one you used here.
Please let me know where I can sent them to you by international mail free from any charge. Thanks again for the wonderful video.
👏
Hej w jakim programie pracowałeś przy tych okładkach ?
Okładki wyszły mega :) szkoda ze pies je zjadł :)
Leci sub
Dzięki :) będzie okazja zrobić nowe ;) Obróbkę robiłem w CorelDRAW ale można też w Adobe Ilustrator czy w darmowym Inkscape.
I was hoping you would add the logo as well..but a damn fine job! Good job!
👍👍👍 !!! Genial!
Thanks! 😎😉
Świetne!
Dzięki! :D
Beautiful. Did you need to route out the spaces?
Thanks :)
No, most are unnecessary, but in some places they improve the fit. These spaces were mostly designed for material savings in the production of original scales.
Do you sell these?
Pozdrawiam :)
subek leci
Dzięki wielkie, również pozdrawiam! :)
Love this video! Hey what's the name of the first song that you used and where can I find it?
Thanks Jeff!
Hooky with Sloane - Bird Creek
Is a free song from CZcams resources.
Cześć, robisz takie na sprzedaż? :) świetne są
Dzięki! :) Niestety nie mogę w tej chwili wykonać okładek na sprzedaż, frezarkę mam lekko rozjechaną i trochę jest problemów z mniejszymi/precyzyjniejszymi rzeczami (może się okazać że coś nie pasuje, albo blaszki wystają). Gdy sprzęt będzie w lepszym stanie mogę dać Ci znać, ale nie jestem w stanie określić kiedy to nastąpi.
Wann geht es los?
CatLighting, are your templates available?
Such a job! But they sell it already done for a bargain. But well done
Anyone can buy :)
You can't buy skills!
o jaka perełke można znaleźć na yt :D Kapitalna robota, efekt super!
A dzięki, dzięki ;D
Robisz może takie okładziny na zamówienie?
Niestety nie, mam ciągle lekko rozjechaną frezarkę i brak czasu, aby się tym zająć, a wykonywanie takich drobnych rzeczy przez to jest udręką.
It is me again :) I watch it again and again :)
I what to duplicate the process. What software did you use to build the model?
thanks
Thanks dude! I'm very, very happy that you enjoy the video!
For graphics processing I use CorelDraw, then use plt to g-code converter. However, I use these programs only from habit. The simplest solution to get started is the free Inkscape, from which you can convert the created files to g code using makercam.com. If you have not worked on CNC yet, you will first have to look at g-code syntax and then milling some test models. The process itself is simple but there is a lot to learn and a lot of failed tests. But keep making! :)
Thanks
I see that you use picture to figure out the proportions. How you set the dimensions? Is it a good idea to scan ruler next to scales?
HI! I use a scanner just because I get a high resolution graphic file and after importing to CorelDraw without any measurements I have kept the exact dimensions and proportions.
If I had taken a picture with the camera I would have to tire myself with setting the dimensions (then ruler is a good idea) and if I did not shoot perfectly perpendicular to the scales it would get additional "fun" with perspective correction.
So the scanner in my opinion is the best solution.
Thanks.
I am working on my dream mod video I will give you link when I publish it
I love it! ;)
