I apologize if this has been done before, but I was looking at the RHK site and all the accessories, and was thinking of all the possible combinations. I did a quick and dirty calc, and came up with a number.
Anyone care to guess? Clue: it's more than you might think
This is using only official stuff and production knives in 3.5"
 
Kj is closer
I'll give you some of the numbers I'm using and maybe even get a more accurate number if you guys see errors

6 different lbs's
4 different pivots
3 different scale screws
5 different standoffs
4 different handle nuts
28 different scales
5 different blades
4 different steels
5 different clips
2 different fillers

How many diff XM-18's could you build
For example there are, I think, 4 diff blade steels, so if that were the only variable, you'd have 4 diff knives
 
Anyone who wants to know my estimate can pm me. I knew it would be a lot, but the number blew me away
One assumption I made was that you would not build your knife and leave a spot vacant, ie, have only two standoffs.
 
Hey, Mike....I think you forgot to include all the different locksides....stonewash, bead blast, sand blast, various anodized colours, blasting and anodizing, DLC (2 flavours), etc...etc...etc....

Looks like your number may be much bigger than you think.

Thanks! I was hoping some of you experts would point out stuff I missed.
Are those available on production knives? I intentionally avoided customs.
