Cellidor is one of the most common scale materials. It’s a nice, shiny type of plastic. Cellidor scales will warp/deform when exposed to high temperatures. Be careful when cleaning your SAKs and never throw them in the dishwasher.
Available in a wide range of colors.
Latest additions to the 74mm family: a yellow Executive with an Emmentaler logo and a black Ambassador sans shield & cross. I am usually not interested in knives with company logos, but I think this yellow one is quite nice. You cannot tell from the pictures, but it looks like the previous owner sanded away

In the summer of 2013, Victorinox offered this Spartan Lite with a nice “Neon Cross and Shield Camo print”. It was part of the Festival Ready product range which was only available through the Victorinox X Editions e-boutique in the UK.

This is an Elinox Standard with black cellidor scales. I had never seen black scales with the vintage, triangular awl before. Does anyone recognize the logo?

A couple of Canadian Flag Classics. There’s no fun in just ordering those online; I actually bought them in Canada. The black one was purchased in Banff, Alberta in 2009. Red and green: no idea. The larger maple leaf Classic was bought in 2014, probably somewhere near Vancouver.

Turns out at least four shades of blue exist in 91mm, of which only one is actually found on regular knives (with item number codes ending

This is an unusual 84mm Waiter. It not only has pinstripe scales (never seen those in 84mm before), but they are orange as well! Pinstripe scales have been available in 91mm a while ago in red, black, green, blue and pink, but it’s rare to see them on a 84mm knife.

How cool is this? I love uncommon scale materials and scale designs. And the scales on this Spartan sure are uncommon. They are cellidor with some kind of metallic paint or coating. Very sparkly :) As you can see these scales are a bit darker than the regular blue ones like on this Compact. Almost
