757 Vicar is going to be a customizer's dream.

A few of you might be interested to see these:

You can screw on just the black parts of the scales, but the screws protrude through the liner. They don't seem to rub the blade, but they are awful dang close. Despite the blockyness, though, it's actually surprisingly comfortable in the hand.

But yeah, making scales for this bad boy will be a cinch. One nice little thing I noticed, the adjustable backstop pin only screws in to one side of the liners, no having to remember which direction it was pointing like on the 755 and 7505.

Great post & pic's, thanks for posting!

Excellent job you did there.

My 757 pre-order should arrive tomorrow. More excited by the day!

Thanks for posting these images, I was going to pick up one of these eventually, it will be much sooner now. I love simple construction, and I dig the clip point blade and the fact that it is not an Axis lock.

The green G10 is the most grippy I've ever seen/felt. It's too much, and will destroy pockets. So, I smoothed mine down a bit. This knife is badass.

Any chance of a measurement of the handle portion, between the upper and lower guards/bulges/whatevers?

I'm sure many a warranty will be rendered completely void. I always like to keep my knives as I bought them, less something like Wilkins Grips or similar. Since I like large folders I will be picking one of these up more than likely.

Just received mine last night. I'm extremely happy and impressed with this knife. The F&F is flawless with very tight tolerances. Smooth as can be and what a beast of a knife, but slim and contoured not to feel like a brick in pocket. The blade on this knife really is something. A very capable and impressive knife. A real standout!

All I can say is, get one!

Thanks for the autopsy photos LC,looks like an easy knife to pimp out.

I'm really digging the blade shape and heavy duty liners. Dam! I'm going to order one tonight after seeing these pics!

Now if Benchmade were to offer this in a fixed blade version with say a 5" CPM S30V blade and kydex sheath, I'd be all over that one too!

How does the lock up feel on the black coated model? I have a 755 black coated model and the lock up isn't as tight as I'd like.

Ok. I just bought one. I love it. Only problem is it will absolutely shred my pockets. I took off the green layer of g10 on the clip side and that seems to do the trick. Anyone else have this issue?

 

[netguy1999]

Update to my previous post. I didn't like it without the green g10 on the clip side so I smoothed out the g10 under the clip with 400 grit sandpaper. Now it doesn't shred my pockets, but I still have all the traction in hand.

I'd be interested in some different scale options if anyone has any.
