It's definitely possible. The difficulty just depends on the knife. The RAM is pretty simple, others are more complicated. For the RAM, all you need is is a drill press and sandpaper. Belt sanders and other tools will speed things up though.
I'd love to re-handle my Speed Bump. The difficulties lie in machining the recess for the torsion bar and the attachment of the clip. I'm sure that many of the AO Onions are like this.

Cocobolo on a RAM; this scale really looks much better now that the wood has been exposed for a while.
I'm working on a set of blackwood scales with gemstone inlays (pietersite, turquoise, lapis, chrysoprase) for the RAM. Should make for a very unique knife.
