Looking for a ballpark number for a custom Benchmade 940 build 1-4 and then what a custom matching spacer would cost (#5) separately. EXCLUDING scale material cost. Thanks

1.bespoke contoured carbon fiber scales
2. Anodized screws
3.anodized (new) deep carry butterfly clip
4. Anodized axis bar

And separately....
5. what a custom backspacer would run me.

Might want to look elsewhere I’ve proposed a similar request before and had 0 replies . There are a fair few guys who offer this service for Spyderco on TikTok and instagram haven’t seen it here though . Maybe send an email or call lynch NW they may offer or have advice as to where to look more specific than mine

Maybe look/ post this in the knife makers custom services subforum ? Also check Etsy.

Looks like you can get all that anodized titanium hardware stuff (besides scales) readily available on etsy for less than $100 total.

Personally, I wouldn't want a titanium lock pin.

Welcome I will ask a guy who has done a few spyderco for me if he knows of anyone or if he will do it but I do know he got busy with his job and hasn’t had much time recently

You’re likely going to have to piece it together yourself. Death of all things DOAT is who you want to contact for the scales, do a web search for him. For titanium hardware do a search for xxxadrenalinxxx (no it’s not a porn site). LynchNW for the clip.

Yeah that's what it's looking like I think I got it licked. I used to take on ALOT of mod work myself (anodizing, custom scales, engraving, etching, you name it...) and a friend just asked me to do some anodizing and a custom scale job after seeing my adira and I just don't have the will/patience/time for gcarta right now. I'm looking for another trustworthy source that'll hook him up. I just made a knockoff version of that new $800-retail/$1100aftermarket benchmade mini adira and was able to source the exact same scale material they used for it and did mine for $260± brand new but this new G-Carta shit is a NIGHTMARE to work with. It took ALL the fire out of me and gave me some PTSD . It came out OK but it was a MF. I didn't have the blue axis bar so I compensated with blue pivot collars instead. And I agree Lynch is doing the Lord's work. I have a good 50+ clips from them it's a real problem .

Thanks all for the help I really appreciate it.
