If I send a 110 to get the bolsters and lock "vineworked" will the scales on the knife get destroyed when they're removed?

if only pined most likely not
if any gule most likely yes..
so if you are not willing to chance it and ok with replaceing the scales dont do it...
once bolsters are worked buck will not replace the blade unless it was from WBC or DY via buck cataloge that said =<(
but i could be wrong!!!! have been known to get that way lots of times...

I have no clue what "vineworked" is, but if I'm careful I can get the entire knife apart without ruining the scales...the steel backspring pivot pin will be destroyed, as well as the three brass bolster pins, but they're cheap & easy to replace...

he is refering to the "file work" that is a 'vine appearance' style ..
there is arrow head style, notch and other verations of file work
evdently the knife has some meaning to him other wise he would not take the time to ask , he would only look for some one to do the file work...

Hey OC...
Click on the link below then click on MUSKRAT's screen ID and send him an e-mail. He will know.
Let us know...been wrong before, but I am thinking the answer is "yes".
In fact, I sent a PINNED sambar scaled 110 BG-42 to Buck where I totally screwed up the scales and tried to re-finish them myself.
Upon receipt, Joe Houser wrote me that he didn't think they were that bad and said he may try to make soemthing with them...but they smelled like Murphy's oil so he may have tossed them. That was a tip, to me, that perhaps on a pinned (rivet) one the scales may be ok. BUT CHECK WITH MUSKY
Trax, the first post in the link also shows the vine filework Musky did
