Bench made 943

Some better pics of my blue twill and heat-colored spool standoffs. Color is much more accurate here than in my previous pics. :thumbup:

I'd love to see some variants released with something other than S30V steel. I have an original 940 in 154CM and wish I'd gotten the version with the clip blade too.

Yep! M4 S90V even M390 or 20CV, whatever BM is using these days. G10 scales or CF even better. Or all of the above!

Like this one, custom handmade scales, carbon fiber and cocobolo

Now that is very nice indeed. Who made those?

 

[Dakkon LameNoire]

Actually i did it, so this is not a really very well done job, the finishes aren't perfect (so do my english). Difficult without the right tools, i never done something like that before.

My opinion is the 943 has the most beautifull blade of all EDC i have seen, the handle is neutral and sober and i think it's 'correct', but aluminium scales are just so cheap and savourless.
The mix modern carbon fiber / classic wood is lovely (especially cocobolo) (like the 482 Megumi) so i tell to myself "let's do your unique 943", and there's no comparison with the original.

CNC machined scales G10, alu, mircata, even stuffs like limited customs titanium for hundreds dollars and so on are nice okay, finishes perfect, strong, but it remains a chinese guy pressing a CNC button hundreds times a day.

Keep your money, upgrade your skills and let's do it

Good for you sir, I admire your effort and attitude. Sure looks good in the pics. :thumbup:

The 943 is a great knife, but the factory scales are terrible. The DOAT scales make a huge improvement. I have carried mine daily for 3 years and love it.
