Benchmade 525 mods.

I like the blade on the Presidio, the handle not so much. I kicked it around a while before deciding to dive into it, because it envolved a lot of reshaping the handle as well as machining for the o spring. With the rough aluminum scales, it made it hard to carry, so I replaced with G10. Now with the Spartan shape and thin G10 scales it's easy to carry.

Liked it so much, got a CPM M4 one as well.

If you build it they don't have to come.:yawn:

Looks alot better with the new scales.
What did you use to drill and countersink the screw holes?

 

[Gaspumps]

Do you plan on selling sets, especially for the 520?

Thanks!
1. Used a special stepped drill made for a #2-56 screw.
2. The 520 is a bit big. 525 is my limit. No sell!

Bummer I have the 520 in M4 also and those scales would look really cool.
