I found the exact same G-Carta scale material they used and made my own gold class for the $knife + 40 in materials (not including the lynch deep carry clip). Just thought I'd help a brother out incase anyone else wants to give it a go. (Be advised gcarta is a pain to work with. Especially if you're doing precise milling for the inside liner. Luckily it's very affordable 👌... AND ☝️☝️ it's a HELL OF A lot better than paying 1000).

Just thought I'd share incase anybody else is in the same boat. Benchmade has lost the plot on these inflated prices.

I'm also curious to see what the good people of the realm think about this unit??? If you have any questions I'd be glad to help or send links, point you in the right direction.

Here is the gcarta gold class adira I copied. I don't have the dama blade but I didnt have to pay an extra 600 either lol.
Those are really nice scales! Any other scales you have made?

This is the first set of G-Carta scales Ive ever made but I've made TONS of custom scales for alot of knives. You can multiply that number x10 for the scales I refinished engraved or anodized. Here are a couple from scratch https://photos.app.goo.gl/SpM6EihDWbgAojt87 and here are a bunch of projects I've done this is maybe 50%?? https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZGynMDHA8aXHBWwJ8


And thanks I appreciate it!!! Saved myself a solid $600+ . It feels good to slip the butterfly tax when it throws a unprovoked financial haymaker.
