To Rescale or Not to Rescale a DD Wonderedge??

[jmbbabson]

Hey Guys,

So I just got a really nice condition DD wonderedge off ebay. The scales are in very nice condition, no cracks or anything EXCEPT the blade does not center correctly between them...I have to push it towards the center when closing the blade or it will hit one of the scales.

So...my debate is...should i just get it over with knowing that these scales are going to go eventually and I don't want to risk damaging the blade when closing it.

Do you guys have any suggestions of what scales would look nice with a WE? I really like what gssixgun did with this one

and I think Max's G10 Blue/Black scales look freakin sweet, but don't know if they'd look weird with a WE??

What do you guys think? I'd love some suggestions/ideas!

are the scales straight?
Is the blade loose?

[jmbbabson]

scales appear to be straight. blade doesn't feel too lose when opening but might have some sway side to side. i don't remember feeling anything drastic though

[mainaman]

it is possible the pin it not straight and that causes the problem with centering.

[jmbbabson]

is that fixable? or is there a good chance that the scales will not make it through the process intact?

if the pin is the problem it just needs to be replaced
