HI guys

I am in a bind!! I need a set of swick 2 scales to put on a gift ASAP!! like as in yesterday!!

anyone have a set to sell?

Sorry, I only have a Swick 3 for a template so can't make any Swick 2 scales, as they're shaped different so the scales won't swap from one to the other. Otherwise I could whip you up a set this weekend. Good luck with your search!

Can you just do a para cord wrap?

Depending on who you're gifting it to you could give it them as is, and inform them that you'll also pay to have custom scales and a sheath made for it but want their input first on scale material and colour combination etc. so that they get exactly what they want. If this is a feasible option I recommend Eric at Shepard Custom Concealment on BladeForums...he did an awesome set of scales for my Swick3 and a Kydex sheath and they far exceeded my expectations. I had him do two sets of scales because I gifted my dad a Swick3 and had matching scales made for his, but I had Eric acid wash my Swick because I'm a bit of a collector (Never thought of myself as such but as I'm approaching 30 Spydies I can't really dispute it) and I was really curious as to how it would turn out. If that's not an option I'd do a Paracord wrap as suggested...there's videos on YouTube showing different ways to go about wrapping.

Wow!!! beautiful setup 3rd!!

Thanx for the link . He does awesome work!!! That dark acid wash is incredible!!!!! dont know why more knife makers dont use it?

Unfortunately there is like a 3 month waitlist

I just dont like the paracord wrap thing it just looks cheesy to me and with the Swick the rounded handle and thinness means the paracord tends to slide around especially at the butt .

let me change the question . is there anyone who does nice sclaes for swicks and DOESNT need you to send the knife to them to make them?

Not sure if my last posts went through.
I don't think our Swick pattern is the one you need. We have the most common one.

Thanx for responding Halpern. This is for a 2 not a 3 unfortunately they are different . Your 3 scales rock though!!!
