CBM's - Customized Benchmade's

[deathofallthings]

I really like those. One of these days I'm going to have to splurge and get me a set from you. Is that tan canvas and green canvas?

Brown or natural canvas and OD green canvas yes.


A few from last week.

Couple of 940s with black blades. Gray and red G10 handles.

 

[Elite_KG]

The latest edition to my collection and my most recent modification. Custom layered brass, G-10, and stainless backspacer with added brass pivot washer to match.

 

[Keyman]

Today...........

as requested, a full size in smooth black G10 with standoffs.

 

[nosuchagency]

nice, km. nice contrast with the polished clip.

 

[deathofallthings]

So I bought this junker 943 on an auction intending to flip it or give it away or do a raffle or something after I made some handles for it. However now that I tumbled the blade, resharpened it, made some scales and a backspacer... I might just keep it.

The scales are silver twill. The back spacer is some cheapo CF (not the stuff I use for scales), which is why it has such big wavy lines through it edgewise, then it's sandwiched between two pieces of blue G10. All in all the back spacer was a pain in the butt, but it came out pretty nice.

Ti Wilkins Scales & Snake River Firestorm Damascus Mini Grip:

Really like the blade. Who made it? I couldnt find anything on Snake River.

Tightened the dimensions on this one to make it small as possible. Turned the standoffs down to 0.180" and moved in toward the blade. Its pretty compact. Stonewashed the low-ride clip to match the M390 blade. Pretty well rounded EDC.

And a few in CF and Amboyna Burl.

hello, i was looking at making some handles out of some padauk i had left over for my mini grips. the wood i have is 1/4in thick. is this thick enough to make a good mini grip set or do i need to size up to 3/8ths. i'd rather learn this now then when i try to put the knife together. thanks a ton. Robert

 

[Elite_KG]

I would think 1/4" is plenty. My scales end up 0.158". You will likely habe to take the material down to proper thickness at some point.

Yeah, I agree with elite, my contour sided mini grip scales are .190 thick and my flat ones are .140. so you should have plenty there for mini grips.

where are these badass scales comming from i got a grip i want to redo

 

[Elite_KG]

DOAT, Keyman, and Igord are members that make and sell many of them. A few of us have made our own.

Started a new set of BM707 scales today. May finish tomorrow if yard work doesnt take too long.

 

[Elite_KG]

Didnt quite finish, but I got them roughed out and to proper thickness and finish. Pretty cool stuff...
