The only tool you will need is another SAK, preferably a Victorinox, and preferably with the can opener. The broad flat blade of the can opener is ideal for getting under the scale and levering it off.

Step One: Remove the tweezers and toothpick from the “patient” in order to make a small opening to get the can opener into.

Step Two: Slide the can opener into the toothpick (or tweezer) slot and pop the scale off the first rivet.
