"Use 'em if you got 'em! " |
I had some spare time last night so I took a shot at modifying my Benchmade mini-AFCK 812s. I started out with a used BM 812s with an ATS 34 blade with the BK coating on it. I stripped the BK coating off and hand rubbed the blade to 400 grit for a rough/satin finish. Then I popped off the old G10 scales and fabbed up a set of THIN carbon fiber scales (.060). I thinned out the pivot screw head and put a satin finish on all the hardware. I dropped the plastic backspacer and replaced it with some barrel spacers. I may still jewel the Ti liners and perhaps go as far as anodizing them, but time will tell. I may keep this one around as a test mule for things I haven't tried before or sell it for something else. Let me know what you think, thanks for looking! Before:  After:        This message has been edited.

Yes, very nice! I'd love to see a fresh black coating with the CF scales.  ************************************************************************ Charter Member #9 and Skullmaster °„° Lum Lunatics Brotherhood of the 420 Boomerangs 'n Butterflies: An Osborne Alliance | General, and Member #950 Pardue Pimps® #3 Jack of all Trades, and Good Enough to get Paid for All of Them. ************************************************************************ "No time for the old 'in-out,' luv - I've just come to read the meter!" -Alexander DeLarge (Prisoner Number Six Double Five Three Two One) | |||

I agree a fresh black blade looks SOOOO good but they don't stay that way long if you use them. *********************** -Drew Make a life not a living... | 520 | 522 |800s | 812s | 812s CF | 806-901 | 806-901sbk | 806sbk-CF| 140HS | 710-801 | 610 | 615 | 6150 | 943 | | |||

You're right, this thing cant weigh but a few ounces now. It is CRAZY light. Add a classy leather lanyard and this thing would look great in any business suit. And it is the mini-AFCK so you don't scare all the sheeple. *********************** -Drew Make a life not a living... | 520 | 522 |800s | 812s | 812s CF | 806-901 | 806-901sbk | 806sbk-CF| 140HS | 710-801 | 610 | 615 | 6150 | 943 | | |||

I considered putting the logo's back in, what do you guys think? Its hard to get them out of the originals without destroying them, but if I could, would you re-add them to the scales? *********************** -Drew Make a life not a living... | 520 | 522 |800s | 812s | 812s CF | 806-901 | 806-901sbk | 806sbk-CF| 140HS | 710-801 | 610 | 615 | 6150 | 943 | | |||
