My RC4

clearytja · Apr 22, 2009

Got my RC 4 and love it to death. Carry it with the paracord belt loops. The paracord is long enough that I can tether it as well which allows a quick transition from belt to IWB carry. I would love to order orange handle scales for it. Is this possible? I know I could custom order a set but I want orange and stock would be great..does anyone know how or if I could do this?
Thanks,
T

As of right now, replacement scales aren't available.

There's been some talk of it in the past, but the way that the scales are mated to the tang, there would be some irregularities if you were to replace them.

Welcome to the pack!

Welcome! Those RC4's grow on ya after a little bit it'll hardly leave your hand.

Thats exactly what I am finding. I never get second sheaths or different scales for my knives unless I know I am going to use them. The RC4 begs to be used. It has a fantastic balance and shape...an amazing combo.

Why didn't you order the RC-4 with orange scales to begin with?

Because nothing looks as good as black and orange! except maybe satin and orange!

I thought I did order the orange...but its no big deal. Dodgeem, you understand exactly why I want the black and orange

The mailman just delivered my latest RAT, an RC-4. Another 6 is on the way this week, hopefully. How do the guys at Rat make such well crafted knives? Rat proves that a U.S. company can produce a perfectly crafted product with attention to the most minute detail at a very competitive price. I am most gratified to have found RAT and will continue to show the knives to my friends. Some of them are also joining the RAT Pack after handling my other RATS and noticing the balance and craftsmanship. RAT Cutlery is the leader and way out in front!

I swapped the scales on my orange 3 and 4 and they were identical.

Yea, I'm thinking like 7 out of 10 times there wouldn't be an issue but those 3, those damn 3....

they need to make a florescent orange izula for you to pair with it clearytja so you can beam in the woods at night. You just haven't smelled the black and gray RC-4 enough to find enlightenment. Smell hard, it shall come.

If you are going to be in the woods at night you better watch out for "you know who". She don't play!
Does it count that my paracord on my RC5 is coast guard orange?
