Customized Benchmade Ares

[Django606]

This is my BM 735 Ares that I "customized." I buffed all of the hardware on a buffing wheel, and made new backspacers on a lathe. Enjoy

Sorry for the somewhat blurry pics (it looks much better in person)
Thanks for looking.

Great looking knife! Great pictures of it also. The pattern really shows well.

Thanks guys

edit: Bucky, I see we share the same favorite knife

Darn right, Django.

Have you seen some of the Ares customizations at chaxknives.com?

 

[Django606]

Yep. I can't believe someone wanted their 733-01 (the one with carbon fiber bolster/winewood scales) turned into all carbon fiber!

Chase did a good job on it though. There's another one where he machined carbon fiber handles exactly the same way the Ares comes. To be honest, I like my backspacers better than the ones he made.

Whoops, double post

Well done in a tasteful manner.

Thumbs up!
