ZT 0562 Aftermarket Black Scale

[wkrafft]

I'm considering a ZT and the 0562 looks great. However I'm a big fan of all black knives and there isn't a black wash version of this one yet. I'm thinking of buying the 562 Orange and replacing the scale. Are there any good aftermarket makers of just scales for ZT knives? Would ZT sell a black G10 scale only like on the standard 562?

Thanks in advance

I switched mine out to a standard black g10 scale from the Elmax 0562.

I did the same as 91bravo and swapped the orange scale on the 0562ORBLK with one from the regular 0562 that has a black G10 scale. The orange goes better with the plain titanium anyway. Guess you should just buy 2 knives.

Seriously though, you can find custom scales from some makers here on this forum. Or maybe contact ZT and see if they could send you one of the regular black scales. No shortage of scale options for the 0562.

That's exactly what I was looking for, just hoping to avoid buying 2 knives

Sounds like I have some options.

When I bought my first 562, I had looked into custom scale options and found this:

Some really nice scales. I never ended up ordering one, so I can't say much on what to expect. Judging from the number of scales they've done just for ZT 562s I imagine they do some nice work.

I also got this lightning strike CF scale from a custom scale maker
