Custom Scales for Potbelly?

[PharaohX3]

Hey guys, sorry if this has been covered before but I've been looking and looking and couldnt find anything. Does anyone know of somebody that makes custom scales for the KaBar JAB Potbelly? Looking for micarta, g-10 or wood. I have really been loving the knife since I bought it a month ago but I truly hate the scales.

If you have pics of your custom Potbelly scales post em. I promise I'll post mine if I can ever find any...

Thanks!

Here are some G-10 scales I made for the potbelly's distant cousin, the BK-7. Unfortunatly I dont have the right membership to sell anything nor do I really enjoy making things for other people...I read one of Tooj's posts about micarta scales for the PB but I'm pretty sure they're awhile away so pretty much you're choices are either make some yourself since its really not that hard or hunt down a custom maker willing to make you a set.

Those are sweet, I am considering trying to make some of my own. C Tanner had some nice ones too unsure who made them

There aren't any regular production scales available for them that I know of. I think you'll have to find a custom maker to make them for you, or try the DIY route.

I might be trying my hand at some scales for my war sword this thanksgiving. I've got the material all cut out and ready, I just need to do some more research on how to do it, and then find some tools .

Good luck man .

Thanks for the responses so far guys. Those wood scales look pretty sweet. If anybody knows someone who does custom micarta or g-10 let me know.
