Benchmade Bone Collector

[THG]

It's an HG Grip with a blunt tip lol

 

[demtek9]

I have a feeling that a few Bone Collectors are going to end up with Ritter M4 blades....

 

[Steven Andrews]

I doubt they're compatible. The Bone Collectors are closer to the 527/522 than the Griptilians.

Looks like the price difference after the new pricing isn't that huge between grips, 527's and these, for d2 and g10, probably be the first bm I keep.

Preordered!

I'll post a coment when it finally arrives

Benchmade came with some really interesting stuff this year. Take a look at the new Lum's and the Shane Sibert design



BETO
====================
Sorry for my english

Unfortunately, the knife isn't a production model. A couple of years ago a member posted the pic here and everyone was curious who customized the knife - unfortunately they never revealed who did the handles.

Check with Chax, he's made many different scales for BMs.

It looks like they put the 550 blade with the handle from a 522.

Pre-ordered

But I'm not sure how the green g10 will look.
Now is the painful wait until arrive.

very classic looking peice

I don't like that huge BONE COLLECTOR on the blade, myself. Looks like something a cheap knife would have.

+ 1 on this....Looks like a great knife - one of the few offerings from BM that has caught my eye in a while....I just can't get past the whole "Bone Collector" thing either....

Seen they are also bring out a 551 Griptilian (551-101) in CMP-M4 steel and carbon fiber and G-10 handles.

 

[JD Mandrell]

That large Bone Collector looks like a must have!

 

[marthinus]

I like it A LOT! I have the 550HG and this will be a good companion for it! Hopefully they will keep making it till I can afford it. It is a really great blade IMO.

I'd buy one without a big hole in the blade. Any word on a thumbstud version yet?

 

[freddy1]

I know who did scales on this one. MarcinS aka Marcin Slysz - knifemaker from Poland.

yep, i 've touch two Doug ritters grip he pimped... it was gourgeous...:thumbup:
unfortunately he is not doing those scales anymore...:yawn:

 

[EricV]

Anybody know if these have full liners or partial liners?

Also saw some other bone collector branded stuff at Cabelas today, t-shirts, stickers, liscense plates, that sort of thing

 

[rramjet]

I'm with you, J Curd. i find thumb studs a lot easier to use.

 

[FlaMtnBkr]

With an AXIS lock I don't care if it has a stud or a hole. Just pull back on the lock bar and flick the wrist a little and it is open. Do the same thing to close it. You can open it gently or fast and hard with this method once you get use to it.

As far as the stud and hole, if you flick your thumb up parallel to the handle, the blade pops open equally easy for me. Having the hole makes sharpening an acute edge bevel easier as well but I will take either.

+1. Looks really stupid IMHO.

Love the idea of a Griptilian with G10 scales, though. I wonder if I could swap out the blade or somehow remove the logo....
