Here are a couple I had customized a bit by Kent at Mad-Jac's Finishing & Archery. He's taking a break from finishing work while his wife is in nursing school, and I managed to squeeze in just in time:
My wife's 275. Yes, my 5'1" wife loves the Adamas. Just goes to show you, if you want to get a knife for your lady, let her pick it out. It might not be the one you expect.
and a 940 I bought used and sent straight to Kent for some reanodizing. This one was a bugger to do because of the curvy bolster and the groove, but I'm happy with the result:

I upgraded three Griptilians last year. Special thanks to Keyman, blue and black g10; Deathofallthings, brown micarta. The large grip is green micarta by Cuscadi. The black blade is not rusted, just reflection.

I was wondering when your 0350 was going to show up? Very nice alongside two gourgeous Benchmades. :thumbup:

Out of resect for BM I won't post a pic of the ZT here.
I will leave a link though - http://s868.photobucket.com/user/Keyman25/media/ZT0350/DSCN9743_zpsc4eb0595.jpg.html

Those covers (scales?) are just awesome!

I've had a love/hate relationship with the Contego since I acquired it, because of the way the grip felt.
Very uncomfortable on the middle finger of my XL hands! So......
I was inspired by MCM's post, here in the CBM's thread: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...ustomized-Benchmade-s?p=12158338#post12158338
I flattened all the jimping a bit while I was at it. To quote MCM, "This works out much better for me."

Looks great Jeronimo!
I even lost the front jimping. As for me it made sort of a hot spot.
The shape of the 810 makes it secure enough for me.
Not a huge fan of gaint jimping.
fixed it for this forum.
Also lost part of my camel hump.

Hey guys. If I sent one of you some material would you be willing to craft some scales for my 581? I got the material, and do not have the workspace or tools to accomplish them. The material is orange G10 / cf combo and I have already borked one set of cf scales. Let me know if its possible. Thanks in advance.
