Some Benchmade mini grips and wilkins scales
View attachment 408653View attachment 408654View attachment 408655
Wilkins mini grip scales: The scales are ranger green g10 with course texture. I'm including a carbon fiber clip with them as I think the two go well together. NOT SHOWN, BUT INCLUDED: the standard smooth black backspacer and 2 stainless steel screws.
Notes: The scales were on a knife at some point. I disassembled. They look great and are unused as far as I can tell.
Price: $sold
Knife 1: BM custom 555 with S30V blade and pale green (jade) G11 Wilkins grip scales.
Notes: I assembled this one. The blade is perfectly centered and locks up solid (no plade play). Smooth action. A fine example of a BM mini grip. I didn't use loc-tite. The smooth black backspacer is included, but is not really visible in the photo. The blade appears to be unused and has the initials "JLF" (BM's customization service). The scales are smooth and a little wear is visible upon close inspection. Original black scales, pouch, and box included.
Price: $185 >> $175
Knife 2: BM 556 with M4 blade and custom green micarta scales by Keyman, blade is number "225" of 500.
Notes: I assembled this one. The blade is centered (may be a hair off, but it's so close I'm not messing with it) and locks up solid (no plade play). Smooth action. Again, I didn't use loc-tite. Another great example of a BM mini grip. The blade was used by the previous owner and shows some fine scratches on the Cerakote film. Part of the "E" in "Edition" is brownish (looks like part of the letter is missing). I sharpened the blade using a DMT kit. I carried the scales one, and believe the look of the scales will vary with pocket time. Original black scales included. No box or pouch.
Price: $sold
Knife 3: BM 558 with M4 blade and tan scales, blade is number "158".
Notes: This blade came with the ranger green wilkins scales shown above. I put the tan scales on the blade because I think it looks great. Again, centered blade, locks up solid, smooth operation. I didn't use loc-tite. The blade is unused other than opening/closing. The black coating looks great. I do see one hairline scratch on the black film if I look at the right angle. It probably came that way. Includes original box and pouch.

Includes very used Spyderco Centofante 4 (I sharpened, cleaned, and added loc-tite to the outside of the pivot to fix side-to-side blade play), unused spyderco urban (original box included), used Spyderco Delica 4 with flat ground blade and gray scales (the clip has been sanded as shown and one clip screw is missing), blue custom delica scales (the backspacer has been sanded to match the clip), unused Moki MJ-100J pliant (original box and pouch included, very used Kershaw vapor (I sanded down the detent ball a bit since I couldn't open with left hand, still doesn't open well with left hand, right handers will be happy, still has detent), unused Kershaw Squaw Creek with carbon fiber inserts, Opinel No. 8 carbon steel blade (includes leather pouch, I sharpened once and cut some paper - it's sharp).
Price: all spyderco items are sold. $50 for remaining items.

Very cool. I also shortened 2 of the clip screws to ensure no contact with the blade for tip-down carry. Bronzed scales and screws (on the LSCF side), darkened blade, mirror sharp edge, centered blade, no blade play, lock up at 50%. Lightning strike carbon fiber scale with purple liner. Very nice fit and finish, just a bit too big for what I'm collecting now. I carried it once. Otherwise unused as far as I know. In the 2nd photo, there's a small dark spot on the blade near the word "spyderco". I wiped it off. Just a speck of dirt or something. Includes original scale and box.
