Swapping UKPK FRN Scales

[Knife Crazied]

Is it possible to swap the scales on 2 different UKPKs? I have an orange resue model and a blue leaf model and I'm wanting to put the orange scales on leaf and blue on rescue. Possible? Thanks Ash

Unless there's some obvious difference between them, I'd say it will work as long as you don't mind voiding your warranties. Not the easiest knives to put back together. Not as bad as the G-10 ones, but still enough back spring tension to make it tricky.

Thank you Deacon. I was afraid it might be quite difficult to reassemble. I just wish they made the leaf with orange frn handles. Come on spyderco we need more orange knives!

I swapped mine and it was pretty easy. There are no washers so you don't have to worry about that.

Everyone has told me it is very hard so I guess time will tell.

Nice job. Not sure if I'd do the 50/50% black and orange thing myself. But I kind of like it.
