Svord peasant hardware?

I'm hoping someone can help me out with replacing my Svord peasant hardware. I recently purchased a full size, orange plastic handled peasant, and really like it. I rounded off the bottom point of the scales, and put a good edge on it and have been using it constantly. I even found a maglite sheath and cut it down to a perfect fitting pocket slip. The only real complaint I have is I am not a fan of anything brass, copper or gold colored. I know there is probably an easy way to measure the hardware to find replacements of a different material but my measuring caliper broke a little while ago and I haven't found a good replacement yet.

So, what I am thinking, is if someone could measure the hardware on their peasant and even point me in the direction of where to find stainless or even some black coated replacements I would be very thankful. I have looked at a bunch of mods but I have not seen anyone use anything but the stock hardware and I just think it would look so much better with stainless or black.
Thanks,
Bruce
 
Just got a Mini and a Standard, both in orange, last night. (Both from FortyTwoBlades, great guy to deal with, by the way.)
I don't know if I'll bother modding anything besides the pointy end of the handle? However, it is an interesting question. I'd like to see what you find out.
 
Yeah, I'm very impressed with the peasant. I have only had it about a month and have used it for cutting rope, fishing line, opening boxes, to slicing apples, bananas, avocado, steak, pork chops, ribs, chicken. I have even used it (carefully) to scrape off some epoxy and even to rip open a rotted log looking for grubs. Everything I use the peasant for it has worked wonderfully. The hardware I want to replace is purely a cosmetic problem for me. I have a variety of other knives, (SAKs, Moras, Opinel, Bucks, etc.) 20+, and am more satisfied with this Svord than most of my others.


As a side note- In my opinion, the steel used in the peasant doesn't give fruits nearly as much metallic taste as the carbon steel opinel and mora I have. This makes it all the better as I was using my opinel #8 for a while cutting a lot of fruit but became really tired of the taste.
