New Limited Edition colors for the Custom Build Program..

338375 · Mar 14, 2016

I was just on BM's website building a couple Mini Grips, and noticed there are two new Limited Edition colors...

The Griptilians now have Crimson Red available, which IIRC was only available before on the REI Mini Grips some time back, and only came in a 556 with the typical combo edge...
The Barrage series now has Kelley Green available. Not sure how long these colors will be available, but hopefully this will lead to other color choices in the future...

That should look kinda cool... I've never mixed colors but it's nice to have that option

I saw that too. Looks like they're both the old REI colors.

The new colors are a lot of fun. After years of plain old satin or BK, and all of the black coated variants I LIKE the new offerings!

That's what I was thinking Jon, but I couldn't remember if the green was for sure or not. I like green, and kinda wish they would have offered the green on the Grips too..
I have wanted a Mini Barrage for awhile now, and the green might just be the excuse I needed

Absolutely

Yeah. 585s/sbk-1101. I've got two that I swapped the blades on. One with a 585bk D2 blade and one with a 586 m390 blade.

I really like these color options, might have to make an excuse to buy another!

G10 would be nice!

Those do indeed look like the REI colors, and it's notable that the kelly green is only available on the 585 and the crimson red is only available on the Mini Grip.

I'm wondering if they just found a box of old scales in their warehouse

daveinsweethome · Mar 17, 2016

here is my new custom with crimson on one side; other side is purple. the delica is a good knife but I prefer the bm. had to show my baby a custom from a local in my home town. Foy Cochran

Could be ... I didn't even think about that. As big as their building is, I can see how things could be found years later.

Hey Dave. Are you in Sweet Home Oregon ?

View attachment 623233 yes I am. you in Bend?

excuse my repeated edits but this is the first attachment of a photo and it was a pain. I still need a lot of work on the mechanics but I got it up. the bm custom mini grip is the middle photo of course. the red crimson is the custom color. below is a local knife maker here in Oregon named Foy Cochran who made this sweet elk handled Damascus fixed blade.

Cool... I haven't been there in quite awhile. I spent a lot of time there when I was growing up because my dads cousins, and aunts and uncles lived there. They have all been gone for about 40 years...

Yes I am in Bend. I was born and raised east of Springfield, in Marcola, and we moved over here about 10 years ago...

The red looks good. I like it
