Custom Benchmade Scales

Just thought I'd show you guys the work Ryan did for me. My 940-1 turned out perfect! Here's some knife porn for you!

Thanks for the great work! Order from this guy fellas!
 
Looking nice.

Here's some works in progress.

Snakewood


And what my sunday was looking like this week.
 
Thanks Ryan, I have not even received my first set of scales from and I am already considering another set. Those snakewood inlays are looking great. Very nice work!
 
Just received my Doug Ritter Griptilian M390 back with custom Black G10 scales installed. This is the second knife I have sent in for custom scales. A true craftsman by every sine of the word. THANKS............
 
Thank you, Ryan! I just installed my new mini grip scales over the weekend and they look great. I'm tempted on getting some for the full-size. Thanks again!

Say death, you mentioned that the 940 is kind of hard to make scales for due to not having full liners. Especially that wood isn't strong enough for it. What about stabilized wood and other "plastics" like kirinite and so forth?
 
Hi Guys,
I've had a some pretty bad problems with my mill all week. Power company has been working on the high voltage lines near my house and something happened that sent a pretty bad surge into my house. IT fried some components of my mill's CNC controller. I've been dealing with that all week and overnighting replacement parts and all that. Hopefully I'll be alright on getting orders done on time, but I am way behind on emails. Hang in there, I'll get to them when I can. Thanks for your patience.
Ryan
 
Does your mini grip scales fit on benchmade bone collector 1503 ?

Sorry, that's a completely different knife than the griptilians. It's actually based on the 520/525 presidio models, even though the blade looks similar to the 550/555.
 
A little Ctek and carbon fiber.









Also some new blue glow stuff, not quite as bright as moonglow, but it's blue so that's cool. Also machines better.





And just some stuff from the weekend.

 
Posted in the Customized Benchmades thread also, hope you don't mine me double-posting:

Whoa! CTEK and carbon fiber is an awesome combination! I wish I had thought of that!
BTW, DOAT, I received my scales yesterday, along with the blue-glow backspacer (a couple of those photos above look VERY familiar; my first thought was, "How did he get my Ritter Grip to put that set-up on???!"). Fantastic work! I wish I could post pictures here. But your photo above of the backspacer glowing looks exactly like mine. I'm VERY happy with the upgrade. Followed your instructions (when needed; very helpful in a couple of places. They are well written, and were extremely appreciated.). My Ritter Grip now has scales and backspacer worthy of its steel. Thank you. I look forward to doing business with you again, either on another Grip, or a 940.
 
Some different materials today.

Ivory Paper micarta and ironwood.




CF and Mammoth Ivory. Once again, ivory is hard to photograph, can't really see the grain.


CF and Snakewood
