Replacement hardware for Seb?

[TFin04]

Does anybody offer replacement pins and screws for Sebenzas? I would love black hardware, or torx ibstead of hex, etc. A google search didn't turn up anything.

Thanks,

Tom

The hardware is custom manufactured..I seriously doubt you are going to find anyone that has the parts.

I'm surprised. With the modern tooling available, it should be relatively easy to copy almost everything about the Sebenza. Anodized screws, pocket clips, backspacers, thumbstuds, etc. should be a piece of cake. Must not be that big of a demand for aftermarket parts.

It's easy to copy, but hard to duplicate functional fits for what you would be able to charge for them. Anything less than a screw machine would not be enough to make any justifiable money for the investment.
Backspacers and pocketclips already have a secondary market as there are people that make both. I'm sure they are not getting rich off of their efforts.

i know i like my sebenza the way it is, i might get a nicer lanyard but after taking it apart, i just wish all my knives were this easy.

A couple of years ago I had access to a lathe at work and had considered trying my hand at making domed head barrel nuts (like the older sebenzas have), because I think they look a lot better than the current hardware. Never got around to it though.

I think some stainless screws and posts melonited black would be great contrast to the Ti handles.
