I just purchased a ranger Grip 57 Hunter.  I would like to find someone who makes aftermarket scales for it but I have had zero luck.  Any help?

What I'm hoping to find is something out of micarta, hopefully orange so if I drop it I can easily find it.  I would also like to add two toothpick slots so I can store an extra toothpick and add a firefly.

I'm new to SAKs and this forum.  If I posted in the wrong place I apologize.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new SAK, Austin :cheers:

I do not own a RangerGrip, but I see there are some scales on Ebay :dunno:

Welcome to MTO, Austin!  :cheers: I’ve seen some aftermarket scales for RangerGrips on Etsy in the past - might. Be worth having a look there?

I have seen the factory grips that they came with, but nothing else.  I think the problem with mine is that it is the 130mm version with the locking blade.  Thank you for your input.  Hopefully, someone has some experience or knows someone who might be willing to make something.  I've gotten a few responses from custom makers and they won't be doing anything until after the new year, at the earliest.

I don’t have any advice on replacement scales
But are we talking Wenger or Victorinox? As the lock button is different, hence the scales will be different too.
I don't claim to know it all, but what I do know is right.

Can I suggest that you make your title a little more meaningful like...

Would you like me to change it for you?

I will accept any help you are willing to provide.  It is a Victorinox Ranger Grip 57 Hunter.  I had to look it up to see the difference in the emblem/lock button.  Learning more every day about these.  Thank you for the assistance.

Just an aside, but searching for RangerGrip 57 on sakwiki shows no results.  Both Ranger 57 and Hunter 57 do, in case anyone goes searching.  This, despite it being called a RangerGrip 57 on the Delemont Hunter page.
