Been awhile again, so here's a bunch.

Interesting, Do you send in to have customized? If so where?

It has been much too long again. Here's some highlights from the last two weeks.

So since 3 different inlay patterns weren't enough for the 940, why not add another. This one lets you keep the chamfers down the sides... it's sort of a faux bolster. This one is marbled carbon fiber body with lightning strike carbon fiber bolster inlay.

Hi Keyman, I have left several messages over the last couple months regarding getting a set of custom scales for a Benchmade. I have not heard anything back. I am not sure if the messages are not going through or that you’re extremely busy. let me know if you can, I am still wanting a set and will wait however i need to.
Thanks
Mike D.

Oooooo.... that is a very good question. One I, too, would very much like to know.

Wow, would LOVE a full length olive G10/orange liner and backspacer like the one above for my mini CR. I know, no one is making them yet. I'll just keep bugging you here

In case you need a full size to match that mini barrage.

Finally got to the full size barrage. Obviously very similar to my mini barrage design. One nice thing is unlike the mini, the design of this knife allowed me to make the scales quite a bit thinner than the stock scales. So if you think you'd enjoy a slimmer barrage these are probably for you. Here's a couple example sets I made so far, I can basically do all the same things I do with the griptilians for these.

A look at the contour

Stock vs Custom thickness

And a look at the inlay design for these. Marbled CF with Blood Money inlays and a red G10 liner in this case.

And both together.

Can you make the fullsize flat and thinner, like the mini with a flush pivot?

 

[deathofallthings]

Well I suppose if you were ok with the scales being completely flat I could make them even thinner and have the pivot flush with the outer scale. However being completely flat they'd end up being thicker around the edges than my contoured scales (which are already a lot thinner than stock), so the effect might be that they feel bulkier even though their thinner.
