This MIni-Grip is making me want to order a custom-shop Mini Crooked River...
Somebody talk me out of it!

Do it. The custom full size is making me want to get a little brother for these hot summer months.
 
Let the holes in my wallet heal up just a little bit...
A couple of weeks ought to do it!

Okay... A couple of minutes did the trick. When I saw the 20 day lead time: I couldn't help myself.
S90V steel, Jade scales, Black hardware., Silver Axis..

Oh! I forgot to mention the most important part: S90V steel...

I would absolutely jump at the ability to get a hollow ground or even full flat ground blade to make the most out of the upgraded steel choices...I am sure there are some folks that still remember the old hollow ground 154 blades on the standard griptilians that would take a shot on a full done custom version.

Aren't the sheepsfoot blades with round holes (550/555) still hollow ground? or did they recently change that? I know the oval holed ones were flat ground, but the round holes were always hollow ground I thought?
 
I doubt they'd change the primary grind. However, the secondary grind (or lack thereof) I would think would be an easier transition. I almost always prefer convex edges myself.

Also, now that they're using Cruwear in production runs (Adamas), I wonder if it will make it's way too the steel options?
 
Benchmade may not offer a custom grind.......
They sure can offer a variety of grinds.......
Even on the same model knife.....

I dont know....as far as I am aware; the benchmade grip which is their flagship model is only being done in sheepsfoot or droppoint but both are saber ground. I know there used to be some hollow ground models back when they were made in 154CM. I dont know of any other grind for the crooked river, bugout, Freek, or Osborn all of which would probably be considered their top selling folding knives.

I have a grip in sheep's foot.
I didn't like the handle and bought a aluminum handle from AWT. Now I love it......
My mentioning about grind was a little humor.........people here will talk about BM having uneven grind with knife edge........
