Okay, my GoogleFu is clearly bad. I want alternating colors on my Bugout and all I can find are scales that look different than the originals. I want the original scale design in a different color. Where do I buy these things?
 
I see originals selling on ebay for about $40.-
Also, many folks have swapped out bugout scales and have the originals lying around.
 
For some reason I cannot PM u? Got a original blue set you can have if I can find them, for shipping. Then your a bottle of Rit away from black.

You can't buy the scales themselves, but you can design whatever you want on the Custom Knife Builder on Benchmade's website. If you've seen Bugouts with alternating scale colors, they've most likely come from there.

Uh yea, they were never made in black. You might have mentioned that you wanted black.
People dye the scales to produce different colors.
And by "alternating colors" that could mean one scale with multiple colors, or it could mean a different color scale on each side of the knife,
 
There's a standard production Bugout with Black scales (the CF Elite one) and there was a dealer exclusive with Black FRN scales. They're also available in the Custom Shop.

I don't know of anyone that makes Bugout replacement scales with the same exact pattern as the OEM scales. You can only get the OEM style scales from Benchmade. OP, your best bet is dyeing your scales with Rit Dye, or purchasing the exact combination you want from the Custom Shop.
