The title says it all. I have a first-generation 0550, I would like to get a custom scale. Who are the good knife Pimpers out there? Or does anybody have one for sale? I don't have any particular design, or pattern in mind, open to any suggestions. Thank you.

Yeah, definitely check out their work in the knifemakers custom services section.
Custom Shop Services Offered
BellaBlades is the first guy that comes to mind, since I've actually seen his work in person.
Some do the regular scales in micarta and kirinite. At least one guy did logos and contrasting materials. You should definitely see what all is available before making a decision.

I've purchased 0550 scales from Cuscadi, and BF member suingab (found him on eBay, only recently realized he was here).
I also just purchased 2 wood 0550 scales on eBay from a member here - one is birch, made by Cuscadi; the other is redwood burl, made by Check-Your-Six - I couldn't decide which I liked better, and the price was right; so I grabbed both. They should arrive today. I'm thinking the redwood burl for my 0551; and I'll have to decide what I want to do with the birch scale - I may hold onto it, in the hope that I can snag an 0550BW at some point.
