Think ZT will provide me with a handle scale?

Can I get a ZT 0630 standard black scale?

Hey BF,

I was wondering if somebody has had this happen. I bought the ZT 0630ORBLK which I love... but, I bought for the black DLC blade, and DLC titanium handle. I'm not much of a bright color guy on knives... so the bright orange scale, I'm wondering if I ask... will ZT ship me a black scale from the normal 0630. I doubt it, but hey why not give it a shot right? What is your prediction?

Yes they would. It would have to be discreet because everyone will demand a similar courtesy. The general public is unaware of how generous KAI, Spyderco, and Benchmade are in private. First hand experience talking here. Close this thread.
 
They may but I certainly wouldn't hold it against them if they didn't. If the Orange bothers you that much pony up and have someone make one for you.
 
For things like screws, torsion bars and standard clips they'll just send out the parts at no charge. However, for anodized clips they charge a fee. For instance, it was $10 shipped for the blue clip on a ZT 0456.
 
I tried to get a G10 clip for my 620CF because I prefer better grip and ZT told me they don't send out scales. YMMV.
 
I want to get a ZT 0450 but I want to have a CF scale like the blacked-out version (basically so it will look like that LE they released last year). I'd love it if they would just sell the scale for that separate.
 
I think your best bet will be to "franken" it buying a regular version and swapping the scale or just put up in the trade section and trade someone, I'm sure that you'd get a response that way also. I am willing to bet they will not honor the request for you as I've never heard of them doing so and ive been told that they don't sell scales or anything separately. If the scale is broken however they will warranty that but yet again you have to send the knife in, they won't send you a scale.

Good luck with whatever decision you make!
 
They won't send you a scale.

You could try trading your orange scale for a stock one here on the exchange - many people like the orange G10 material.

They are very generous, but I'd be surprised if they send you one for free. I'd certainly ask. I tried for a scale from Benchmade once and they didn't even respond, but I bet ZT will.
 
I called KAI last week and inquired about buying just a scale...the answer was "No".

Really surprised no one has suggested dying the scale black with Rit Dye. A search on the forum will show that it's been done quite a bit and should yield before and after pictures. But black is black and others try to go for various colors. You could probably get a maroon or brown or even an army green if you wanted something different. And if you don't like it you can always go black and cover it all up.

Just a thought.
 
No. Especially not for free.

You would likely find some quick action if you take this advice... IMO
