in my continued attempt to "lighten the load" a bit for summer carry (I did start a thread about it weeks back), I went ahead and ordered a Benchmade 707 last night to replace the heavier folders I usually carry. so now I'm curious who on here has dressed up their 707?...and where would a fella look for help if he decided to personalize the little Benchmade? pics would be greatly appreciated. :thumbup:


thanks,
Lee

Other than getting new scales, none.
It's pretty good as is.

that's kinda what I was thinking, the scales are the first and probably only thing id like to eventually replace. ive seen grips and mini-grip pics on here sporting aftermarket scales as well as a couple other Benchmades that I now think were 707s and they definitely caught my eye.
 
I absolutely LOVE Ivory Snake Juma.

It's kinda like a plastic but also like a resin. Not really sure how to explain it lol.


And those ivory snake scales are just awesome, been wanting a set just can't decide what knife to do hahaha. Got a 943 and 480-1 they would look great on.
 
I first found Juma (Golden Dragon & Ivory Snake) 2 years ago almost to the day.
I was scouring the internet looking for some new & interesting scale material to use.......found it! :D

I've never seen a material that more completely transforms the look of a knife than Ivory Snake Juma does. It's really spectacular. Looks like it came off an albino rattlesnake. :eek: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I couldn't agree more :thumbup:

I should have the knife early next week, so thank you VERY MUCH for posting all those pics Keyman, I now know who im gonna be in touch with when its time to dress the little Benchmade up.
 
I have a 707-705 hybrid with a M390 707 blade, a 705BW wood handle, custom perforated PB washers to mimic the ones from the CRK Sebenza, black hardware, custom standoffs to replace the factory spacer, and hopefully soon a titanium clip from STR anodized to match a green zirconium and copper bead I have on the lanyard, all carried in a William Henry style clip sheath made of shark skin.

I carry this knife more than anything else. I absolutely love the 705 LE handles, but also love the 707 blade more than the 705. The M390 707 blade is just plain badass and I have it on an angle far lower than I would ever do on one of my 154CM 707's, and still it holds it multiple times longer with usage.

I hope to soon make a custom one-sided thumb stud for it.
