    Applegate Fairbairn grip repair or replacement

    The synthetic grips on my A/F Smatchet made by Boker are cracked. I also have a Blackjack A/F commando knife that I would like to replace the grip. Any suggestions on material or somebody to install them ?

    Micarta is what I would go with. If you can easily remove the original scales, I imagine any competent grip or scale maker can make you a near identical set.

    Zulu Bravo Kydex, despite the name he does quite a bit of knife customization work and I've seen him do custom scales/customize scales on many blades.

    BGM Knives is a young guy out of Upstate New York who, while still doing his own designs and work, is also doing customization work to supplement business, you could also try him.

    Had this guy hollow grind and convex edge a china pick. His prices are very reasonable
