That's awesome--I just bought one and that's exactly what I was thinking about doing.

Looks real nice much better than the stock ones.

JoHnYKwSt · Jun 9, 2005

Very nice. I agree, much better than stock.

GarageBoy · Jun 9, 2005

Did you mod the bolster?

almtiba · Jun 13, 2005

No. It's all original. Only the plastic scales were removed and new wood ones were made.

I like it, I would like to replace the stock on mine with real horn.

Very nice!

fishwatcher · Jun 13, 2005

That looks really outstanding.

Nice job!

Thanks for posting.

Cool! Very clean looking.

agony · Jun 13, 2005

Very nice! I've been thinking about having new scales put on my 670.

Now that's what I've been thinking of doing. I almost picked one of these up while on vacation, but could not get around the plastic scales. I called Benchmade to ask if the stock scales were glued, but could not get an answer. Any chance if you guys know if I can simply unscrew the existing scales for something nicer, or are they glued?

Thanks,
Randy

Man, don't let a little glue stop you if you want to change the handle. Especially if you're just going to scrap the old scales.

jrk · Jul 24, 2005

Does any one know who makes custom scales in the USA that I could send a 670 to have work done?...Or, would the Italian site mentioned in the beginning of this thread have extra scales made?

hardheart · Jul 24, 2005

Man that's nice. I wonder if there's some way to heat color the backspacer...

T.K.C. · Jul 24, 2005

I was going to order an Apparition, but decided against it, because I HATE the scales.
NOW, I would consider getting an Apparition, knowing that I CAN get different handle scales!!!

THAT looks awesome & amazing, 1000% better!!! CONGRATS!!!

Hi guys !!!

I'm back ! (was in my honeymoon...)

I'm notsure if it's possible, but the next one I'll try to put some ebony scales is my 805...

I'll call Schmatz tomorrow, and I'll let you know what he thinks.

Hey this is my first post, but Ive been reading for a long long time. Used the forum to buy my latest knife, the Stretch.

I made my own scales for my 670...I accidentally nicked the bolster a bit with the sander...but mine is Bloodwood scales that I finished with Tung Oil.

The Leek was my old EDC, and my BM was too at one point, but lately Ive been carrying a Spyderco Stretch. But I really still enjoy my 670.

*Edit. I just realized I revived an old old thread. My bad guys.
