Many of Benchmade's Mel Pardue knives look like they have the same AXIS subframe judging from the exposed stainless portions at the top and bottom front of the handles. Some of the other models look like they may also share the same subframe.
Is it bossible to swap the handles from say a Benchmade 720 and a Benchmade 550?
I love everything about my Griptilian except the handle.* I'd love to swap the Noryl GTX handles on my Griptilian for the G10 or Aluminum handles from one of Benchmade's other Mel Pardue collaberations. Possible?
*For me, 440C is "good enough" for EDC and AFAIK Benchmade does not offer a thumbhole blade of better steel in an AXIS lock knife, except in the 806D2, which I already own.
