Vosteed Raccoon 2.0 Handle Scale Kits: Swap GID Micarta, Carbon Fiber, or Cheese Orb G10

Knife owners have been swapping scales with aftermarket parts for years, but Vosteed just made the practice a whole lot easier — and official. The brand now sells handle scale kits for the Raccoon 2.0 Crossbar Lock, and they are not just slabs of material. Each kit includes a pair of scales, a fresh pair of Omega springs, pivot screws, handle screws, and pocket clip cover plates, with color-matched black and gray hardware so the swap looks factory-fresh when you are done.

Three materials launched at three different price points. The Brown GID Micarta kit runs $37, the Cheese Orb G10 kit comes in at $35, and the Black Carbon Fiber kit sits at $49. The range is smart: GID (glow-in-the-dark) Micarta for the fun crowd, carbon fiber for the premium crowd, and Cheese Orb G10 for anyone who wants a texture you will not find on any other knife in the room.

For Raccoon owners, the kits solve a real problem. The Raccoon 2.0's crossbar lock means the scales have to clear the mechanism and the one-piece Ball Roll Bar, which makes aftermarket fitment genuinely fiddly. By selling the complete kit with the right screws and springs — including the two different pivot screw sizes and both handle screw lengths the knife actually uses — Vosteed removes the guesswork that usually sends budget-knife customizers down a rabbit hole of mismatched hardware.

There is also a bigger message in these kits. Vosteed is treating the Raccoon 2.0 as a platform rather than a product: the scale kits sit alongside the brand's 3D-print downloads and existing accessory ecosystem, letting owners change the knife's look and feel for roughly the price of a nice dinner instead of the price of a second knife. That is the kind of move that builds real loyalty in the budget segment, where most brands ship one handle and move on.

If you own a Raccoon 2.0 and have ever wished it came in a different color, the official kits are the cleanest answer yet. Pick a material, gather a Torx driver, and the hardest part is deciding which kit to buy first.
