Here are som classics. One Alox (2019) and three with modded scales. I like the micarta scales best, the brass ones got too heavy for the classic, imo. But they look pretty The second from the left has scales from China (Mack Walker). It was really difficult to align the holes in the second liner with the four screws (when the springs were under tension)
This is what “old timers” did when the original phenolic handle scales cracked on early Victorinox knives: Frankly, the horn scales look way better!
