Any Victorinox experts on here?

Changing scales is easy, they just pop the heads of the rivets, apply a dot of superglue on the new ones and its done. You can find scales on eBay or similar. Multitool . org has a forum with guys that mod SAKs (I had two done by members there). You could reach out there and they could get you on the right track.

I had a set of mine engraved, but they weren't color filled. This was 12 years ago and a guy from Australia did it for me through one of the forums I was in.

I know Smoky Mountain Knifeworks offers engraving, maybe reach out to them, since they do it in house.

I know some of the Alox SAKS have an engraving panel on them. The Cadet comes to mind, and I you can get it in green scales, then the engraving would be silver.

I don't know if they engrave the blade or the scales.

It appears the Ukraine has the market cornered on green scales. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...70.l1313&_nkw=swiss+army+knife+green&_sacat=0

Well over 6 months later and they are back in stock. At least he'll get it the same calendar year as his graduation. Christmas present ordered and on the way.

I saw some in my endless searches but sorry, don't recall where.

I've had a green alox Cadet as EDC for many years.
Just visited SAK site after seeing this thread and looks
like the colored Alox choices are now scarce. Glad I
got the other shades of Alox Cadets when I did. An extra
green as backup. 2-3 different orange or autumn, a blue.
Might have a medium size Soldier in blue alox.

Glad to see the *edit* announcing mission accomplished.

Laye to the party but I just replaced scales on my trekker and my Huntsman with items from www.swissbianco.com.

What I did not know is he is in my backyard. He is in Blairsville!

I did stayglow yellow on my trekker and G10 blue glow dots on my Huntsman.

I had the scales next day.
