Ripp's Garage Tech is a Midwest CNC machining shop built around one specialty: aftermarket knife scales that transform the most carried production folders in the country. Swapping scales is the fastest way to make a factory knife yours, changing the grip, the weight, the look, and the feel in one evening with a torx driver, and RGT has become the name collectors trust to machine that upgrade to factory tolerances or better.
The RGT Spyderco scales line is the deepest, covering the Paramilitary 2, Para 3, Shaman, Smock, Native 5, and Kapara in canvas, linen, and burlap micarta, shock-absorbing Tero Tuf, featherweight milled titanium, and fat carbon patterns like Jungle Wear and Arctic Storm, with matching backspacers for compression lock models and 3D-machined titanium clips for Spyderco's universal 3-hole pattern.
The RGT Benchmade scales line centers on the Bugout, whose factory Grivory practically begs for an upgrade to micarta, Tero Tuf, or titanium, while the RGT Demko scales line dresses the AD20.5 in hard-use materials that match the knife's reputation.
The RGT Chris Reeve clips line machines replacement clips for Sebenza and Inkosi framelocks in titanium finishes up to timascus, the RGT Swiss Army scales line re-dresses the 91mm Victorinox in anodized aluminum from OD green to splatter fades, and the RGT ZT scales line brings the same treatment to Zero Tolerance folders. Hardware kits, backspacers, and the rest of the small parts live in RGT accessories.
Micarta arrives dry and earns a patina from hand oils; Tero Tuf absorbs shock beyond G10 and carbon fiber, grips when wet, insulates electrically, and shrugs off 200 degrees; 6AL-4V titanium comes stonewashed, blasted, DLC, or darkwashed with milled-out backs to keep weight down; and fat carbon layers resin and fiber into depth you can stare into. Our knife handle materials guide covers how each behaves in hand. One knife, endless configurations: that is the whole RGT idea.
