Pin holes in 2010 plus Spartan, Huntsman's etc
My oldest Spartan (early 2000's) is solid.

Finaly discovered the saw on my camper! I know that sounds silly, but I never knew it had one. I just assumed it was a dividing bar , but seeing the camper was supposed to have a saw, it took me a few mins to "get it"
My origional was a gift, and I've bought a few others over the years so I keep one in each kit system.

The pins were sourced from a forgotten army reserve along with tactical bicycles next to a chocolate factory. Varusteleka tried to buy them, but Victorinox pulled nationalist rank and stuck it to them.
I have a new Spartan pin hole is there.
I may change the scales as mine is black.
The mini screwdriver was £3.50 posted from eBay. You can get a full set of mini tools for about £5-6 I believe and Geri rods for under £10.
Great video.
ThanksGreat video.
. Changing the scales is super easy once you know about heating the old ones up to soften them. I suspect you could heat the new ones up too to make them easy to fit.
Fantastic channel and insightful video. I’ll definitely be watching more. Felix Imler’s content is also a must watch for all SAK enthusiasts if you’re not already familiar.
Is this the "proving that blokes don't read instructions" thread?
Instrucrions? They're just for the people who don't know what they're doing!
Can I also add to the things that swiss army knives can do is the hook on the swisschamp makes a good exhaust spring puller.
If you don't know what an exhaust spring is, its used to hold the expansion chamber onto the exhaust side of the cylinder head of one of my bikes.

I have successfully changed the scales on my newly purchased Ranger model SAK for a set of plus scales I got from Amazon for about £16. With these you get the scales plusa full set of tools including the biro and a pin. I have swapped the toothpick for one of those Tortoise gear fire starters.
That's very nice work there, well done! These scales illustrate the extra tool slot very well, you can see it on the corkscrew side at the opposite end of the knife to the others, going up at an angle to the left. Might be worth opening this up so you don't lose the toothpick

Has anyone modified an Alox Farmer X to take the tweezers? - that's all it needs to be the perfect suit pocket knife IMO (and is it even possible to do? I've never taken the scales off an Alox knife).

Alox scales are riveted through as well as being liner less.Has anyone modified an Alox Farmer X to take the tweezers? - that's all it needs to be the perfect suit pocket knife IMO
I could see it being quite doable though with some careful drilling. The one time I’ve redone an alox the original scales were to go so I didn’t need to go gentle!
Swiss Bianco does sell aluminum handles with slots for regular 91mm models.

Not sure they look as good as the Victorinox Alox scales though.
