Finding Bugout Backspacers

[Paek Centaur]

I'm about to start a bugout build as my first time customizing a knife and have already run into a problem. I want all the hardware on the knife to be black but want to keep a satin blade.

All I need is black barrel spacers and thumb studs. I put in a request to benchmade for replacement parts of a blackout bugout but based on what I've read they likely won't send the barrel spacers. Can anyone help me out? I would be interested in other back spacers other than the factory ones, but still in black if anyone has any cool ones.

Thanks!!

Barrel spacers are basically a zero-wear part...one of the few places some black spray paint would actually hold up really well, just a thought

If you like the option, StoneMooseKnifeCo on Etsy makes 3D printed full backspacers. Prices are decent and the PLA is decently tough. The only caveat is that the tolerances aren't amazing, so you'll likely have to do some sanding to get the sides flush.

You can find many options for thumbstuds on Etsy, too, but I can't attest to any of those.

If you want to keep the original style standoffs, as Chip suggested, some paint and clear coat may be your best bet. Just mask it off so only the visible parts get painted.
