Is it possible to purchase stock replacement scales for esee knives?

I have found sets within the trade section from time to time.

One thing to note is that they are fit to each individual blade and that the fit when moved from one knife to the next won't be as good. ESEE does not sell them because of this.

So the scales from one rc-3 aren't necessarily going to fit on
another rc-3?

They will probaly fit. However, chances are its not perfect.

Well,
I guess that means I'll have to try my hand at making my
own...

There is a guy that made G10 scales himself, there is a photo posted recentely.

edit;
Coming form the photo thread.

Homemade black G10 RC-3 scales.

Yeah,
I saw those...
Those are pretty slick,
I also found some stuff on the web on making home made
micarta... I may give that a shot as well.
Basically, I was just looking for an extra set to do some experiments
on, but after some research it seems like it might be fun to
make my own.

If you do, post some pics of the process too. Would be nice how it goes into work.
I did hear though that itsnt a pretty substance to breathe in... Doesnt to strange too, Epoxy/fiberglass dust cant be healthy
