Benchmade pictures

I ordered and received a limited KW offering and had some issues with the build quality; this is the 530-1302 and 16/30. I sent it up, and under warranty conditions had all the fittings upgraded to satin silver, smoothing the CF scales to perfection...and while there the blade was centered and given a shaving quality edge. The following to share are the results of this work:

I want to offer Kudos to Ryan, Austin, Sara and definitely the talented tech for his work on the project.

..hope you guys like it~!

My first Benchmade

11,700 posts? You have been busy. I've noticed the non-standard handle screws and that 'interesting' nut on the other side. If you mailed the thing to Benchmade I am sure they could fix that for you for the cost of shipping it to them. Nice classic mini AFCK btw.

I said it was a work knife

, those screws were from a circuit board and the liner side stripped so I put the nut on it, I could tap the stand of spaces I made and screw from both sides of the handle.

Just finished cleaning her up. Now she's buttery smooth.

And yes I need a 2nd cup.

Think I voided my warranty?

The pic below is one of many from another thread titled,

Changed back to the stock scales. They offer better "grip" (haha pun). May see the Cuscadi scales on the Exchange in the near future.

perfect name for that knife.

since mine has come back from keyman i named it ICE. since its arctic camo theme, adamas means diamond, and i am a big fan of game of thrones in which a completely bad-ass sword named ice exists

I only have two oldsters, but both have served me well and have seen better days.

Mini-Reflex and Mini-Spike.
