Hey guys! I recently snagged a Benchmade bugout with a nice Transparent Knives MagnaCut reblade.

I think it deserves nicer scales and maybe a backspacer, but I’ve never bought anything aftermarket really. What do y’all suggest?

Nice reblade.

Have had good luck with RGT, Flytanium & AWT. Knives Plus offers some nice scales as well as replacement hardware, backspacers and oversized washers. Found a fella named Paul from Canada on Etsy that makes wooden scales - a little thicker & blocky but, well made, good fit and nice rich wood species available (might compliment your blade shape). Rockscale makes really nice Titanium slab scales. Have probably done (25) Bugout mods or so. Feel free to DM me if I can help in any way.

Please let us know what you decide and send pics. Good luck & have fun…

I was looking at the Knives Plus stuff as birthday ideas for my wife and kid for me! OS washers, Black/Blue/White CF scales, black hardware kit!

Those are nice!

I'm currently really liking the look of the deathgrip stonewashed titanium scales, and then the rockscale tanto clip (if they come back in stock). And if my budget allows, I think I want to add a tritium backspacer from Flytanium.

Those knives plus and the RGT featherweight scales are also really tempting, but if I'm gonna do a full Blingout build, I may just spring for the deathgrip scales.
 
Very cool reblade!
This is my second reblade from Brian, and I must say he does gorgeous work. Both of my reblades have had beautiful action/centering. His grinds are some of the best I've ever used. If you get a chance to pick up a blade from him, don't hesitate!
 
Alright, I have bought the deathgrips. Now we need a clip and backspacer! I'm liking the look of the Rockscale slim tango clip, but I've gotta email them to find out when they might be back in stock...

I think these are just the most attractive option for Ti.
 
Not a Bugout picture but I believe this is the pocket clip you are talking about? Agree the clip shape will work well with your new blade. Reblade & Deathgrip scales are the star of the show. Lighter weight standoffs (both visually and in mass) vs a full backspacer is not a bad way to go either. What hardware are you planning matching satin or contrast color?

Have fun with your build and keep those pics coming…

Yes that one!

I think eventually I do want satin hardware and crossbar, but those would be at the end of the list.
 
Well, if you get stuck and can’t find one, DM me. I probably have something else I can put on my CF Bailout to free this clip up. Have fun with your build…
