Spyderco Delica with wood scales?

[lorenzo X]

Does anyone make wood replacement scales to fit a delica (or sell modified delicas with wood scales)? I really like this knife but it would be perfect if it were available with cocobolo etc.

go over to the maintenance and tinkering forum and see what they say. i know there are people who do that stuff, i just don't have their names memorized.

Gonna be a lot more expensive with the nested liners and all.

You might send a PM or email to forum member/maker STR.

Here's a picture thread of some of his work (looks like he's re-scaled at least a few Spyderco knives):

I remember seeing some pics of a Delica4 with Desert Ironwood scales on Spyderco Forums posted by "noddy". This was back around late 2009/early 2010.
Trix2004 has also posted some awesome pics of Spydies but they were with custom micarta scales. I don't remember if he said who made them for him and don't know if they do wood scales also.

Karel Koci made the scales (goes as Cosco on several European sites)

Yessir! Dat be da one! :thumbup: LOL. Wow I didn't realize you were also on this forum Noddy, though I should have figured as much. That's a really nice Delica. The reason I remembered it is because I saved the pic when you posted it back then and I always save the poster's name when naming the jpg as I save it. That way I can reference the person in a case just like this! I just didn't want to post the pic I had since it wasn't mine.

EDIT: I just checked and the pic I had was from this same shoot but with you holding the Delica in your hand above the other knives. Guess I'll be saving this pic for my records too!

^ +1.

i priced some custom G10 scales for my endura 4 ZDP and they cost more than i paid for the knife. i felt it wasn't worth it because i rather spend the money on buying another knife, but to each their own.

I have a Delica that has red jigged bone scales and file work all over it. Unfortunately, one day I dropped it on concrete and broke of the scales. I still carry it, though. I just can't give it up.
