    Congrats to Benchmade; great idea.
    Cool


    Now I just need to agonize over what color G10 and what texture to pick.

    I will be ordering one sometime this week.
    Cool

    Your choice of standoffs - silver or black. No other choice.
    Tumbled steel would be a nice addition

    I kinda figured you'd be in for one or two with CPM-M4.

    Matt, after this thread went to build a custom grip ( would be a first for me) like you my preferences were :sand G-10, all black hardware. I had to stop as I wasn't sure all my selections were being include( may have to call this in)

    Good idea, probably being loaded down with folks playing around with it.

    yep.

    my next one, but with od green instead once they make available...


    they're a lil' steep, but maybe we can talk bm into providing coupon codes around the holidays and such down road. regardless, i suspect they're going to be backlogged on orders for these real soon.

    I am thinking forest green with all black hardware and an M4 serrated tanto.

    Where do you see your choice of standoff? I see screws, axis and liner.black or satin . Am I missing it somewhere?!

    tinkering with build, i think it's the liner color option that drives it.

    Black or silver depending on your choice of liner color.
    No fancy colors

    Hmm
    The 551-1 fits my bill.
    Grey G10 scales, Blue G10 accents, with matching blue standoffs, 20CV steel, deep carry clip.
    $178
    Hmmm

    Jason, do you know if they will eventually list an od green g10 option as well?

    I suspect that sales of a standard od version would out sell forest green by a wide margin due to its established presence in the knife & firearms-related industries.

    I wouldn't be surprised at all.. However, it's not in the plan for the immediate future, as far as I know.

    Yeah, you have to really want something custom...or at least semi-custom. And you have to have an outlook on the G-10 Grips that they are worth the money. The 551-1 equivalent knife on the custom shop with either black, tan, or forest green handle with no color accents, no anodized standoffs, no deep-carry pocket clip costs $220 plus tax and shipping. That's about $270 to CA residents, virtually $100 more than a 551-1. I just happen to believe that a G-10 Griptilian with premium blade steel is about the best folding knife on the planet, so $270 doesn't shut me down...at least not entirely.

    It is a little rough though that on top of charging MSRP, Benchmade charges for shipping. Benchmade charges me tax because they do business in CA, but if I buy a 551-1 from Louisianna, from one of Benchmade's dealers, I don't have to pay tax, and shipping is free. Maybe that isn't Benchmade's fault.

    You can get some dam good folding knives for $270. But I think a custom G-10 Griptilian with S30V, or CPM-M4, or CPM-20CV is definitely one of them.
