How much would it cost for a Spyderco Delica 4 (Doesn't have to be the FFG version) with neon green FRN handle scales? The knife is about $50, but can anyone give a very rough approx on the mod?

Something like this color:

What I would do is buy a white D4. I would then dye the white scales to neon green using RIT dye. Shouldn't cost more than $3-$4 dollars.

There are a few threads on using RIT dye here and over at the Spyderco forums. Give it a search, it's pretty easy.
 
FRN is very difficult to manufacture in a one-off basis. It's formed in injection molds that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. You'd be better off finding a laminate or acrylic in the correct color and having it machined to shape. That way, you should be able to get the work done for under $100. Or try the dye method.
