I have a knife from Darrel Ralph that has Tritium tubes in the scale. The Tritium just barely glows anymore and I'd like to put in some new bright ones. Does anyone know where I can find this? I contacted Darrel and he said he doesn't use Tritium anymore.

Thanks,
Shawn

And he didn't indicate where he used to acquire them in case the supplier is still in business?
 
You might be able to find someone on CPF that would have something as I see them over on the flash light forum fairly often.

You could also have the holes and inside the scales filled with glow epoxy. It has to be recharged with light but should last longer than tritium will.
 
Those trit vials look like 3x23 mm from Merkava. Take the scales off and measure them. I use a 3x23 inside of the translucent scale on the Leafstorm.

Must be over 10 yrs old as tritium vials are good for about 12 yrs.

Where can I get a Tritium knife like that one? Are they only available fully customized?

Darrel Ralph custom. Prepare to empty your pockets and family's bank accounts

Also, please read. All the info you asked for is in the first post.

Your answer seems a little condescending..

I don't see anywhere in the first post stating that a Darrel Ralph custom is the only way to end up with a tritium inlaid knife:confused:
