Pocket Knives

With SAK scales from Daily Customs, you give your pocket knife a new look, a different feel, and more personal character. The scales are developed as custom accessories to match select Victorinox pocket knives and are ideal for anyone who wants to deliberately personalize their SAK.

Depending on the model, you'll find SAK scales in 58mm and 91mm, along with a range of materials, surfaces, and designs — from Titanium to G10 and Micarta to brass or copper. That lets you change the look and feel of a knife you already own, or start right away with a matched combination of a select Victorinox SAK and Daily Customs scales through the installation service.

Important: these scales aren't made by Victorinox — they're developed and manufactured by Daily Customs. They're designed as compatible accessories for select Victorinox models.

SAK scales are the outer panels of a matching pocket knife. They shape how the knife feels in your hand, how it looks, and what character it takes on in everyday use. While the blade, tools, and mechanism handle function, the scales are what mainly determine feel, material character, and design.

In connection with this category, you'll also come across terms like Victorinox scales, SAK scales, custom SAK scales, or pocket knife scales. These all refer to compatible custom scales made by Daily Customs, designed to fit select Victorinox pocket knives.

The appeal lies in not replacing a trusted pocket knife entirely, but deliberately transforming it. Depending on the material and design, it becomes a personal EDC piece for everyday use, a collection, or a gift.

With SAK scales, getting the right size matters most. Daily Customs offers custom scales for select Victorinox pocket knives in 58mm and 91mm formats. Both sizes serve different uses: 58mm for compact knives carried on a keychain, 91mm for classic EDC pocket knives with more tools and more surface area for material, design, and customization.

SAK SCALES 91MM

91mm SAK scales are among the most popular options. Search terms like Victorinox scales 91mm or 91mm SAK scales usually refer to compatible custom scales for matching 91mm models.

Depending on the version, 91mm scales come with or without tool slots, with a cross inlay, or with prepared options for matching pocket clips. That lets you tune the look, feel, and features to your personal EDC setup.

SAK SCALES 58MM

58mm SAK scales suit smaller pocket knives that are often carried on a keychain, in a coin pocket, or as a compact everyday tool. Search terms like 58mm SAK scales describe exactly this category: small custom scales for matching SAKs in the 58mm format.

Titanium, brass, or copper bring a noticeably different feel, more material presence, and a more distinctive look here, without making the knife any bigger.

BEFORE YOU BUY: CHECK YOUR MODEL AND SIZE

Before buying, check which base model you have and whether it matches the given format. What matters is the length of the knife, your preferred scale version, and whether you want to use tool slots, a cross inlay, or other accessories.

Material has a big influence on how SAK scales feel day to day and the character your knife takes on. Titanium feels clean and technical, G10 is light and tough, Micarta brings a warmer feel, while brass and copper become visibly more personal over time thanks to their patina.

TITANIUM SCALES FOR SAKS

Titanium is one of the most popular materials for custom SAK scales. It feels solid, precise, and modern, and suits a minimal EDC setup well. Terms like titanium SAK scales or titanium Victorinox scales refer in this context to compatible Titanium scales for matching Victorinox pocket knives.

Depending on the finish, Titanium can look calm, matte, dark, or more technical. Small variations in color, surface, or patina are part of Titanium's natural character.

G10 SAK SCALES

G10 is a composite made from fiberglass and epoxy resin. It's lightweight, durable, and well suited if you want to give your knife a colorful, technical, or grippy surface. G10 SAK scales or G10 Victorinox scales are especially interesting for functional EDC setups.

MICARTA SAK SCALES

Micarta feels warmer and more organic than metal or G10. The material is based on fabric and resin, which creates a visible and tangible texture. Micarta SAK scales or Micarta Victorinox scales are a great fit if you're after a calmer look and a material that develops its own character with use.

BRASS AND COPPER

Brass and copper bring visible material warmth to a SAK. Both materials feel more substantial and develop a patina over time. Brass looks more classic and understated, while copper feels a bit more lively and warm.

SAK scales are one way to give your pocket knife its own character. Depending on the design, the scales can look calm, technical, graphic, classic, or bolder. That lets you tailor your SAK to your EDC setup, your personal style, or how you use it day to day.

At Daily Customs, you'll find a range of designs for select 58mm and 91mm models. Minimal options like Plain rely on clean surfaces and a stripped-back look. Patterns like Pinstripes, Golfball, Fluted, Labyrinth, Honeycomb, Diamond, 35° Angle, Art Déco, or DLC Topo bring more texture, depth, or graphic detail into play.

The term custom SAK refers here to the deliberate personalization of a matching Victorinox pocket knife. Many SAK scales are available individually and can be self-installed. Alternatively, select scales can be combined with the installation service, where a matching Victorinox SAK is ordered together with your chosen Daily Customs scales and professionally installed.

This is especially worthwhile for knives you use regularly or that already carry a personal history. An older pocket knife can find its way back into everyday use with new scales, while a new SAK can be matched directly to your personal setup through material, design, and installation.

Depending on the version, Daily Customs' SAK scales offer additional options that let you adapt your knife both visually and functionally. These include variants with tool slots, scales with a cross inlay, and matching pocket clip solutions for select 91mm metal scales.

SAK SCALES WITH TOOL SLOTS

Some SAK scales are available with tool slots. These cutouts are designed for matching additional tools, similar to what you'd find on certain Victorinox Plus scales or SAK Plus configurations. That lets you keep practical functions on a matching base model, rather than just changing the scales visually.

Whether you need tool slots depends on your specific Victorinox model and how you use it. If you regularly use additional tools like those found on a Plus configuration, or want to deliberately keep them, choose a variant with tool slots. If a more minimal look matters more to you, versions without tool slots can be the more fitting choice.

CROSS INLAY FOR MORE CUSTOMIZATION

On select 91mm SAK scales, the cross inlay expands your design options. It sits in a dedicated cutout in the scale and, depending on the material, sets a subtle or clearly visible accent.

Important: the inlay fits Daily Customs scales with the matching cutout. If you want to swap the cross inlay later, the scale needs to be reinstalled.

POCKET CLIP OPTIONS FOR 91MM METAL SCALES

Some 91mm metal scales from Daily Customs come with prepared mounting points for matching pocket clips. That lets you carry a compatible SAK differently in everyday life — for example, ready to grab in your pocket instead of loose in a pocket organizer or on a keychain.

If no clip is used, the prepared threads can, depending on the version, be closed with matching cover screws. That keeps the back clean and gives it a deliberately finished look.

Many of Daily Customs' SAK scales can be ordered individually and installed yourself. This involves removing the existing scales on a matching Victorinox pocket knife and replacing them with the new custom scales. For a clean installation, we recommend a suitable two-component adhesive and even, controlled pressure.

Searches like changing Victorinox scales or modifying a Victorinox knife often describe exactly this step: changing the look and feel of an existing SAK without replacing the knife itself. It's important to check the size, model, and desired features like tool slots or a cross inlay beforehand.

Alternatively, you can combine select scales with the installation service. Here, you order a matching Victorinox SAK together with your chosen Daily Customs scales, which are then professionally installed. This makes sense if you want to start right away with a matched combination of knife, material, and design.

Go to the installation service for custom SAKs

When installing with two-component adhesive, avoid applying too much pressure, especially with Micarta and G10, so the knife's rivets don't show through the front of the material.

SAK scales are for anyone who doesn't just use a matching Victorinox pocket knife, but wants to deliberately adapt it to their own style. They're especially interesting for EDC users, collectors, and anyone who values material, feel, and a personal setup.

Day to day, custom SAK scales can make a knife feel more familiar and more individual — whether at the office, on the go, on a keychain, or as part of a deliberately built EDC setup. Older or inherited pocket knives can also find their way back into everyday use with new scales, without losing their original function.

If you want to modify your knife yourself, individually available scales are the right choice. If you'd rather start right away with a fully assembled combination, the installation service — pairing a select Victorinox SAK with matching Daily Customs scales — is a great fit.
