Changing BM 710 scales to carbon fiber

[phorensic]

I've done some searching for a couple hours here and can't seem to find much info on this topic. I have a BM 710HS (D2) on it's way to my place and as much as I like G10 scales, I drool over carbon fiber scales whenever I see them. Are there people or businesses that I can send my precious 710 off to to get the scales changed to some custom carbon fiber ones? What kind of price range am I looking at for such a service?

Try http://www.chaxknives.com/ I've seen posts here on bladeforun with some of his work and am thinking of sending something to him myself. Hope this helps.

Great link MJR! With the search function you can look at several 710s including one he put carbon fiber scales on.

Thanks MJR, that was exactly what I was looking for.

Glad to hear that. Let us know how it turns out with some pics. I would like to see some and I'm sure others would also.

Is that STR's website?

Just curious, is the Benchmade warranty void after doing a 3rd party customization like this?
