benchmade 940 ti scale

[luke86]

Hey I'm looking for a ti scale for my 940. Does anybody know who makes them? I've heard them referenced but I can't seem to find anyone on here that makes them. Thanks a lot.

Benchmade has made Titanium handled 940/941/943 models. They differ from the Aluminum and old Carbon fiber handles in that they use stand offs instead of back spacers. The newer 940-1 (C/F) also uses stand offs. The Titanium models are heavier than the Al and C/F versions. The lightest is C/F at 71gm. Al is next at 81 gm. Ti comes in at 91 gm.

yeah I know bm has made them. There just hard to come by and I don't want to pay the ridiculous pricing when they do. I was hoping to find someone who makes ti scales to put on one.

An aftermarket Ti scale set for the 940 would be excellent. Sign me up.

I'm really just not a fan of the green. I like the black 943 handle much better. I read another post of yours where you said benchmade would put a different blade in your knife for $60. Could I buy a 943 and send it to them to put a 940 blade in? I heard bm wouldn't do this. Just wondering if you have any experience with this? That's definitely what I would do if they will do that.

I'd be glad to if I can just figure out who has them. I'm sure someone does.
