No, I have never seen any. It probably has to do with the fact that you would have a lot of milling to do. You would have to mill out the front scale for the t-bar to be flush inside, and the backside scale for the lockbar to be flush. plus you would have to use a thicker scale material.

STR's Custom SG2 Blur
Ive asked him to do more of these scales before but he wasnt interested. It might not hurt to ask again. Maybe we could get him to do a batch of these in Toxic green!

I know where you can get a sweet looking bio-hazard sign on your scale

There was a guy Gator Works or something like that, that I was talking to that did full carbon handle scales for the Cryo and I suggested he do scales for the Blur.
I know there is a Kershaw forum regular who is now just a regular lurker who has done a very sexy full wood handled Blur.
I hope some day he'll step out of the shadows. The ZT 0550 scale he did that everyone has likely seen is my favorite over
even the best of Philip Dobson's work.
I've also seen a full handle in a plastic of some sort. I had thought it was G10 but wasn't. It looked like it may have been
done by Kryptoglow. It appears to have been done with the same process anyway, but there were no threaded inserts embedded
when molded and the screw holes were stripped out with the clip barely hanging on. It may have been done as a prototype using
a 3D printer but was in blue and 3D printing usually isn't done in colored plastic unless done as a vinyl product like from Shapeways.
I looked at having a full handle 3D printed in their metal (that uses a process somewhat similar to the Offset blade process)
but it would be very expensive compared to having it done as a subtractive process from a custom CNC milling service.
