Carry this one for two years now (and a Huntsman for many years before I got this one) and I absolutely love this thing! Fits perfectly in my front pocket attached to the Victorinox belt chain. I use this one many times a day and felt helpless like a baby the one time I forgot it at home and needed it. Recently decided to show it a little love and change its scales to my favorite color and combine them with green accessories (toothpick, tweezers and lanyard).

Wait, you can change the scales of the Swiss Army knives?

Not sure if sarcasm, but just in case -> Yes you can. I bought the set from here:

https://www.ebay.de/itm/284906202228?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=707-127634-2357-0&ssspo=wv-wijqvtqk&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=FOpHjaIOR6e&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Then I just warmed the old scales using a hairdryer (I did not want to risk damaging the old scales) and then used a flat screwdriver to carefully detach the scales. And then you press on the new scales with a vise (but with a cloth or cardboard in between to avoid damaging the new scales).

I honestly wasn't aware you can change them.

Thanks so much for the product link and how-to, @Gorroth !

Yes. Yes you can!

I recently modified mine. Used a heat gun to expand the plastic and then a spudger to carefully lever the plastics off of their mounts.

Used a (padded) clamp to close the new scales back on.
