That's a gold class one that comes in titanium and carbon fiber, not the standard green aluminum one that was customized to look that way.

Okay, I guess I need to look at more knife porn. I guess he put on that deep carry pocket clip... I still wanna see if someone has sanded/sandblasted off the green, I think the 940 would look really cool with aluminum scales that look like the 470 Emissary with a blue flamed deep carry clip and change the purple backspacer to blue flamed titanium too. Maybe some blue on the thumbstud and it would sorta look like a weird Chris Reeves knife!

actually, it is the 940-121 which came green and CF. I found his post on the benchmade forum where he says what he did to it:

I just used a scotchbright like attachment for a dremel. But a pad will give you the same result. Also this m4 is noticeably better than other Benchmade's I have. I really like this knife.

And he added the deep carry clip.

I stripped my BK5 and put a patina on it. I also added the Becker micarta scales and did the edge
with my EP.

Rick,

How did you do those ridges on the top swedge? Are they already on the knife?

It looks great.

grybsh7 · May 31, 2012

Thanks. They were already there.

Mini-Bone Collector with black paper micarta scales & back spacer.

Rookie question but how do you do this? Do you simply blow torch it?

Thanks!

Wow, thanks for the hard work! Yeah, I was hoping it was possible to give the aluminum a titanium like look (BM470).

The Benchmade forum thread about this knife starts near the bottom of this page.

I wish I had a clue how to do that. Great work!

Here is a Spyderco Persistance G10 that I took a grinder to. Simulating the Emerson Wave opener available on the Endura and Delica.

and a bit of etching, still playing around with that dremel bit.

Picked up a carbidizer so did my frame locks and a couple edges...pretty cool toy

Just did this one today, a knife just isn't a knife without a wave.

couldn't agree more! Nice work

It isnt much, but had to start some where. Made the lock bar stabilizer from a Winchester 30-30 round. I had a round that was a little too old to shot, so I cut the bullet off with a hack saw, then emptied the powder before I drilled a hole in the primer.

Are the bevels on the handle mirror polished too? Matches the edge!

They aren't mirrored, just scotch-brited
