"After market" scales ready to go? where?

[MTHall720]

Is there something for some of the more popular folders like there is for the Becker BK series fixed knives. Example: BK 7 Becker/KaBar has micarta scales you can buy and simply unscrew the stock ones and screw on the micarta.
Is there something like this for the ZT 350 and other folders? Any clues where to find these and what the price range is for either Micarta or wood scales?

After market scales are usually made to order, and not something that's sitting on a shelf waiting for a customer to walk by.

And depending on the skill and experience of the individual making a custom scale, the cost will often exceed the purchase price of a production knife.

Average price on a custom scale on a framelock, like a Benchmade Lum LFTI or a Sebenza easily can be between $60-100.

Count on spending more if the original scale has a pocket milled into the underside for a torsion spring.

Custom scales can really take a nice semi production knife to the next level, though.

Thanks for answering my questions. You have confirmed already what I had suspected but wanted to verify. The scales for the Becker are reasonable -- about 40.00. Haven't seen any for anything else though.
