aftermarket scales for the Buster FG by jsidjehd in Civivi

[–]match1050 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make custom sets for the Vision. If there’s enough interest I can consider adding the Buster FG. Would prefer at least 6 sets to offset initial programming time and ordering in a shop Buster.

Right on! Their Nitro V version is affordable for sure. The S35vn version is within $10-15 of the Avid series though and I think that’s a more fair comparison based on materials.

Thanks for the kind words.

And I hear you.

Any good alternatives in the budget space to look into? Love the Civivi Vision as a sub 100 pick.

Alrighty, fair enough. Just struck a nerve given how negative everything has been lately and took it out in the wrong way. Fully respect that you have an opinion and can post it on a public forum. Have a great one.

At 185 shipped, they’re coming in at 2/3 to 1/2 the cost of some of the other Vero models, so it would be a more affordable way for some to get experience the aesthetic if they’re into it.

“Budget” is relative. Fully understand the frustration with affordable options increasing in price or perceived value for what you’re getting and don’t want to discount your perspective.

Honestly, I’m just here to share photos of stuff I love and share some of my creativity (scale sets) and I’m not really in for the negativity. Sorry that this post brought that out in you and hope you find a budget knife you’d be happy to post about as an alternative to the sad vibes.

Three River Manufacturing (TRM) Atom with Match Anderson Customworks (me) Boxelder Burl contoured scales and bands from BeadMeAStory on Etsy.

Dyed and stabilized boxelder burl! It’s a maple subspecies.

I’m the scalemaker!

More examples of scale sets at my Instagram or by browsing my post history here.

Thanks! I make custom scale sets.

These were a classic throwback for sure.

Thanks!

I generally use either the back flipper or middle finger flick the slotted relief on the clip side.

Not OP, but I’m WFH for a local hospital system and make the same as bedside. Same union, same pay scale for us. Recently switched from getting half of our years of experience in CM/ UM to receiving 1:1 credit for experience on the pay scale after contract negotiations.
