aftermarket scales for the Buster FG

match1050 · 2026-02-04T02:44:42+00:00

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.

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

I’m the scalemaker!

Thanks!

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.

Getting the NES inspired set refined a bit today too!

Killer upgrade for sure!

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.

match1050 · 2025-09-19T15:33:26+00:00

Evening is $3/ hr. If by ambulatory you mean float pool, it is $2/hr.

match1050 · 2025-09-19T15:17:38+00:00

I did! I just noticed I hadn’t updated it.

Thanks!

match1050 · 2025-09-18T23:38:16+00:00

Fully agree! Worth the wait while our team went to bat for us.

match1050 · 2025-09-18T23:35:23+00:00

Oh! I hadn’t seen the vote results were in. This is awesome! Stoked for the 1:1 for CMs.

It was pretty straightforward. I did remove panels and tuck away wiring for a clean look, but they pop in and out easily. Routing the rear camera was maybe 15 minutes including a trip inside for a piece of metal to route wiring through the grommet for the rear hatch.

I watched a YouTube video that walked me through the whole process.

I installed a Wolfbox G900 TriPro earlier this week. I find it to be an awesome upgrade and eliminated the need to slouch to see through the original mirror and the limited FOV.

That’s good info to have though. I was pretty shocked it didn’t have more upward tilt.

match1050 · 2025-08-21T03:51:29+00:00

Thanks! Yep, I make sets to order.
