I have a brand new 3.5 flipper with orange scales that I would gladly swap someone for blue scales for. As for the tool a penny will work for a spanner. The other thing people use is a Park Tool chain tool. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002AJSFYM/?tag=cpf0b6-20
Just takes a little modifying for either strider or hinderer.
There is a good take down thread on the USN.

That is the flipper version. Some are non-flipper version. You basically flip that like a lightswitch and the knife rocks open. It is sweet!!!
XM18 is a legendary knife. I wish I could find one but even if I did, it'd be hard to justify the cash. I know some companies make tribute knives or clones but haven't been able to figure out defintely which is the best bang for your buck or most accurate "copy"

I was on a list for quite a while, then got the call. If you can get on a list, and save for it, I think you will love having something that is rare, unique, and a great product that is one of the best in the world.
Just a thought. :twothumbs
Plus you will always be able to sell it and get all your money back, and maybe more, in the future.
Best of luck,

PS...please do not buy an unauthorized copy of the original, that is unfair to the makes's IP.

I'm pretty sure it is. I've seen several of them come directly from Rick with that scale color.

Yes! he makes several colors: Red, Yellow, Black, blue, Orange, Brown, and a couple shades of green.
I think I got them all. I could have missed one or two. Is there a Gray?
You can buy them from Rick, and change your scale color with the seasons, if you wish.

Yep, there's a grey:
He's also recently sold some funny ones that had been sitting around for a while on the USN:
"Sort of Tan"
"Pond Water Camo"
Oh, and don't forget the CF scales!
Yes, there is a gray!! There is also a digi cam too. There is even pink, for those that like that color.

Are there anymore custom color scales? I have seen a translucent green on YouTube a while back.
