Question for Buck

[medic467]

I have a Buck/strider spearpoint that I tried to modify. The modification has not gone too well, and I need new scales. Also, the lock locks up really tight, sometimes it takes both hands to push the lock over. Can I send the knife it for repairs on the lock? And I'm not sure if it's possible, but can you get scales in another color? thanks for any info.....

YOu can send the knife to us for repairs to the lock. We can probably replace the scales but that would not be covered under the warrantee. I have heard that G-10 is made in diferent colors but all we have is black.
Take care,

Thanks for the quick response. I'll be sending it back for the lock, and possibly a quote on new scales. Thanks again...Jim

If you want other colors in g-10 go to kovals website, they've got some really pretty blue g-10, and multi-colored g-10. Its easy to work you can sand it to 400 grit and leave it satin, or take it to 400 and use white compound or rouge and polish it to a luster. I frequently buy my supplies from kovals (live down the road) and have seen a pretty blue g-10 for $6.00 a scrap (enough to make two sets of scales for strider, probably with some left over. If you do decide make sure you use a mask when working with it, it does produce fine dust, not as bad as carbon fiber, but still unhealthy, hope this helps.
