SCALE MATERIALS

MATERIAL DESCRIPTION

Cellidor Cellidor is an organic, thermoplastic cellulose ester that incorporates a high proportion of renewable natural cellulose
material. Unlike traditional plastics, it is only partially dependent on fossil fuels. Components made of Cellidor exhibit an
CP
exceptional high-gloss finish with perfect depth effect. To improve abrasion and scratch-resistance, scales printed with a
special promotional motif are treated with a protective coating.
Max. usable temperature 65 °C.

Acrylonitrile Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is an amorphous thermoplastic. ABS plastics exhibit excellent toughness, notched impact
butadiene styren strength, impact strength, flexu ral rigidity and surface hardness.
Max. usable temperature 80 °C.
ABS

Polyamide Nylon is a term commonly used primarily in the U.S. to describe poly amides (PA). Polyamides are suitable for pocket knife
scales because they exhibit better mechanical abrasion resistance. This also has benefits from a production perspective.
Compared to high-gloss and smooth Cellidor compo nents, they have a more structured surface.
Max. usable temperature 90 °C.

Aluminium Alox scales are punched from aluminium, embossed and then anodised in a subsequent process stage. The Eloxal process
uses anodic oxidation to create a protective layer. This layer of oxide is hard and protects the scales from damage and
ALOX
corrosion, up to a certain degree.

Walnut Wood Wood is a natural, renewable resource. The walnut wood used by Victorinox comes from European forests and complies
with the EU Regulation No. 995/2010 (the EU Timber Regulation). The wood of the walnut tree is very solid,
WOOD
tough and strong. Due it's different patterns every piece is unique.

Olive Wood Wood is a natural, renewable resource. The olive wood we use at Victorinox is sourced from Italy and complies with the
EU Trading Regulation (EUTR) 995/2010 on timber. The wood from the olive tree is very heavy and hard and has good
WOOD
density characteristics.

Micarta Micarta is a composite material where an absorbent carrier (cellulose, linen, wood, etc.) is soaked in synthetic resin.
After the resin is cured, the Micarta is polished to create the desired finish. If different colored materials are used,
MIC
the polishing produces a grainy effect. Micarta is a premium material and its waterproof and lightweight properties,
plus its dimensional stability, make it the perfect material for the production of knife scales. In addition to its durable
and robust characteristics, Micarta is very satisfying to the touch, with an elegant look that is pleasing to the eye.
