Back when my dad passed one of the things I found in the truck I inherited was an old Swiss Army Knife with the scale on one side completely gone and the other scale curling up on one end.
I put it away and forgot about it until recently and began looking for replacement scales and a replacement for the missing toothpick. I quickly discovered mine is a Wenger, the original Swiss Army Knife maker. Victorinox bought them out many moons ago and has since stopped production of the Wenger line. Replacement toothpicks are non existent and only one company that I'm familiar with makes brand new scales. The scales are custom so they ain't cheap, typically around $50 for a set. SAK who sells them had had a set of Desert Ironwood ones on sale so I bought those.
Again I set the knife to the side with the scales for about a month while I was busy with other projects. Finally grabbed some jeweler's glue, attached the scales with a wood vise press and here is the finished knife.
