Benchmade Custom Knife Shop ~ What Would You Build??

[@carknelson5895]

Agree would like to see them bring back the griptilian to the custom shop

[@craigwilkes]

I like the mini Crooked River and the Osborne both equally. I was thinking of the Griptilian also.Thanks Zachster.

[@zachstuff]

Good choice!

[@jpolhamus71]

Love that green and purple bugout.. bring back the anthem. Offer different ano colors and thumbstuds

[@Marco_Ye]

So many options so little time and budget. Thanks Zach.

[@addictedtoblades2]

Love the green, my favorite color ❤

[@robertphifer7955]

I agree 100%! Bring back the Custom Griptilian !

[@BDSwaim]

Nice only got the tagged out with jade flytanium g10 on it

[@PocketRazors]

What a great video! A great video to confuse me, play with my emotions and make me froth at the mouth 😂 Absolutely love the custom shop Mini Crooked River out of the box. It was dialed in from the first flick. Will probably go for another MCR just in case they pull them next. Please Benchmade leave the current lineup in the custom shop. Can’t argue with your choices of bringing back the Sheepsfoot Griptilian 👍👍 The Mini Adamas in the CS is Froth-worthy 🤩🤩 I would like to suggest that the Freek Family be added in. So many cool options to be had here. This drool has become a problem, time to clean-up. Cheers!

[@BCJerbs]

That orange and black hardware is sick too!

[@beeferbaron]

Full size crooked river blacked out with orange g10 scales with a dog paw. With s30v. And adamas next up for custom. Awesome video, thanks zach

[@jeffstephenson4156]

That mini Crooked River is amazing but all your other knives there are sweet too. I think I’ll build my own mini CR. Thanks for another great video!!

[@davidh0159]

As far as custom builds go, that build you have for the Mini Crooked River would be what I'd like, just with an S90 blade. Love that coloring. And I'd like to see the Mini Adamas next.

[@robbknice389]

How about the Bailout @ the knife shop? That Ti 940 is amazing! I added micarta scales to one of my Griptilians and absolutely love it!

[@mikejurnak0324]

Great stuff Zach. I would do the 940 in CF, hardware black, and green studs. The next one they should add is the Bailout. ✌🏻

[@hccif]

Awesome stuff! Before you pulled it out I was going to say they should bring in the mini Adamas. My top 3 favorite Benchmades (I have two) Id like to customize a mini Crooked river with a black coated blade and hardware, M4 steel, and classic wood scales. Been waitint for a model like that to be released forever

[@MPerry-ox9qb]

I did a blackout G10/M4 minigrip & 20cv mini crooked river. Looking to do both the bugout and 940 in titanium. The fit & finish is excellent and the upgraded materials make it worth it to me.

[@ck158]

I would build a 940 and I agree with you on doing the Mini Adamas. I love the Murdered out 940 that was made for me.

[@toddkingery9951]

Zach you know me and custom Benchmades I’m a sucker for titanium. Maybe they offer some 535 Bugout titanium scales? Similar to the 940

[@byronkennedy7912]

Thanks, Zach. If I were to build a custom knife (and money no object), it would be a full-size Crooked River in carbon fiber. As far as what model would I like to see in the custom shop ... I think it would be the full size Adamas folders (manual and auto options).

[@dwayneletterman3987]

My build would be the Mini Crooked River for sure , have always wanted one , and the damasteel is beautiful ! I also agree , the sheepsfoot Grip would be an excellent custom , or a fixed blade ! Damasteel, CF fixie would be awesome !

[@phillipw58]

I would build a 940. I agree with you on the Mini Adams. Great video!! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!!

[@drinkwater1915]

Crooked river and mini adamas next. That is a nice group of Benchmades on the table. Happy Holidays

[@marshalllaw123]

Mine would be a 940 with purple scales, black blade & hardware and green barrel spacers, S90V. I’d love them to add the Taggedout!!

[@deadvikingtrolls]

945, carbon fiber scales, black liner/axis/screws, green spacers and thumbstud, black mini deep carry clip, the blade off of my 945-2.

[@ElCapAddict]

I love the chartreuse and orange Bugouts! Since me getting a custom chop Benchmade is a huge hypothetical I’m not going to follow the rules and do it out a Super Freek… if I was to get one of their current lineup it would be like your Ti 940, otherwise: Super Freek w/ Ti scales Black hardware/liners Red (or purple) backspacers Dark stonewashed S90v 940 spoon clip to take it in and out easily (plus Bugout clip for a backup clip) The Super Freek should be next in the custom shop-imagine it with Ti scales similar to your 940 🔥🔥🔥 Out of curiosity, which one do you think they sell more units of, the Adamas you chose or the Super Freek (I understand the Adamas is a lot older so probably more floating around, but after the initial run on them during a drop, which one do you think is more popular)? Thanks for the video, Zach. Happy New Year!

[@mrc2205]

One of my favourite brands.

[@aaronmulcahy2004]

Nice video! 1 - 940 2 - Bailout

[@coprolite_steve]

I gave away a bunch of Benchmades and Hogues to my nephews and niece for xmas ‘22, so the Osbornes would be high on the list for the custom shop. Another would be the mini crooked river since I have never found an edition that was just right but I love the design. As for what should be added, I think I will cheat and say Magnacut with some good HRC. I do agree that a good Grip or mini grip would be a welcome addition, too. The prices don’t seem so astronomical now thst the base prices have increased so much. I will have to put it on my list to consider. Take care.

[@ZachBroughton]

Got my custom shop dama 940 last week and it's absolutely stunning!

[@zachstuff]

Right on!! Mine is now top of my favorites! Enjoy that beautiful 940!!

[@Didier090765]

I'd build a 940 for sure, no wait! I want to build several 940ies 😅. And the one I want next in the custom shop is the mini-Griptilian and full size Griptilian (or was that in there already in the past? I forget). Thanks for sharing Zach!

[@Humphrey_Chimpden]

Those are really cool knives. I wonder how a mini Adamas with neon green scale on one side and purple on the other with black studs would be like. Maybe a titanium bugout.

[@zachstuff]

Some nice build ideas!! The Mini Adamas would be a fun one to see in the Custom Shop!

[@LanningKann]

I got a 940 with black S90 blade, OD Green thumb studs and standoffs, as well as the OD G-10 Scales. Black hardware and axis lock as well as deep carry clip. It’s exactly what I was dreaming of for a 940.

[@zachstuff]

Those are two terrific 940 builds!!! Thank you for sharing! I love to hear what each build people went with.

[@lelandphill4408]

I’d say the 940 with satin blade, green hardware, black screws and axis with ti scales and silver clip . The adamas an mini adamas should be added next !

[@the_swinging_axe]

Great video and happy holidays! I'd like to see the Bailout and Freek series. The Bailout is my favorite model. I would build a custom bugout in black g10 or cf with orange hardware, mini deep carry clip, and an s90v satin blade

[@toddcarr.]

Personally for me currently it would be the Crooked River but without the damasteel. Would love to see the SuperFreek and Minifreek added to the custom shop. Thanks for the great vid and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable

[@zachstuff]

Good choice Todd! Can picture the Freek Family now and what I would order!!

[@DoubleAJ77]

I think I would do a mini crooked river, mostly because of the options. I would like to do a 940, but I’d like it in a different blade steel. I think the Freek or the mini Freek would be awesome but bringing back the griptilian would be great too.

[@jeremynedrow7003]

I would go with the crooked river in blue and black.

[@Alicordparacord]

I would love a dark stone washed blade with purple hardware and neon green scales on a mini crooked River. Would love to see the Anthem in the custom shop...

[@kevykev8347]

I'm still looking at building a Crooked River when I have the money.

[@Fedharrison5634]

My Custom BenchMade would be the 940 Black & Purple hardware & bring back the Anthem. Hope you're having a great week Zach

[@zachstuff]

Thanks Ed! Enjoy your week and I like your style on the 940 custom build!

[@jimmiecrowe520]

I would build a 535 Bugout with a Wharncliffe blade in K390 or Magna-Cut without any hesitation!!!!!

[@ric9174]

would LOVE to see a sand color tan or desert colored scales for the mini barrage 585

[@Seppiedog]

I would have to start with a Bugout, it would be a full size grip if it was available. The Crooked River full size murdered out with a blue pivot collar and backspacer looks awesome. Thanks for sharing with us Zach, be safe. P.S. The Burgundy mini Adamas you have is the best. lol

[@GatorAaron]

I've been looking at doing another 940 or Bugout custom. The Freek series should be next.

[@sgtgrantham]

I want a left handed 9400 with either magnacut or cruwear with copper scales.

[@rob10ring]

I’ve been wanting something in purple, or blood red. My favorite Benchmades are the 940 and Bugouts. So, probably one of those. I brought up colored Grips in the livestream and that would be my top choice to bring back. I got into it too late. Also, the mini Freek custom.

[@napsterninja]

White scales for a 940 or crooked river. Mini Adamas for custom shop.

[@twangthang68]

I think I would build a 940 with ti scales or mini crooked river with damasteel. A mini freek should definitely be in the custom shop.

[@Jr-Mz]

I would probably build a 940 and would want the Anthem at some point in the custom shop but if they bring back the Grip/Mini Grip that would be awesome!

[@bubba92473]

Can't dream it cause probably won't happen 😂 Thanks Zach 👍

[@rustyknifelover4463]

Crooked River CF scales S90V blacked out.

[@bigjim55able]

Blue G10 940 with satin blade in S90V unless they put out green aluminum.

[@BCJerbs]

I'd go with a mini Bugout with some choice wood scales!

[@heidiwoerheide4733]

Custom build would probably be something with dama and carbon fiber. I like the contrast in patterns. Future custom wish would be mini adamas options.

[@markherrera829]

Hey Zach, I know I am living in the past on this one. I would like to have a updated version of my Emerson Design 975 ( not the 970 , but 975 ) Spec War CQC7 with a Axis Lock and S90V.✌

[@chrishinkle5982]

Honestly I would like to own any of the ones on the table in those configurations but I’m a bugout fan mostly so I would probably build a bugout and I would probably agree on the griptilian coming back

[@Briankerr6476]

I would go with the crooked river in damasteel with carbon fiber or fat carbon if its possible and i agree mini adamas needs to be in there

[@Frostmaker]

So when will they bring back the mini barrage to the custom option, is it a rotation or what?

[@diverson63]

I'd probably do a full sizes Crooked River with Damasteel blade.

[@zachstuff]

They look so good!!

[@Sharper_Than_Most]

I’d really love to have a custom 940 with damasteel and fat carbon!!!but I’d also love to try a bugout! Would be cool to see the infidel or Adamas!

[@Trolldaddy5]

Id like to see the mini grip in the custom shop and maybe the full immunity.

[@paulbesemer6090]

I would build a Mimi River, I would like a Mimi Adams or a Bailout

[@kk-nl5lp]

Still thinking 🤔. . .

[@M_bomb]

My custom biild would be the 940 with ti scales. The next in the custom shop should be the adamas line up. Would love 2 see a ti adamas or mini adamas

[@j.hardesty446]

🔥

[@danegavrilovski]

Bugout with carbon handle and 20cv.

[@zachstuff]

The Bugout just works so nicely! I like your style Dane!

[@erictalkington5674]

They need a custom full size and mini adamas.

[@zachstuff]

Yes!! That is a great idea!

[@connorheath5352]

Cerakote blades. Various colors… pls 🫶🏻

[@j.hardesty446]

Titanium milled Crooked River Magnacut

[@zachstuff]

Yes!!!

[@Tacos27182]

Want that damasteel so bad, sold out on 940 and crooked rivers

[@zachstuff]

Oh man! I will go talk to the crew and have them get it added back quick!!

[@sharpguyatx]

I would like to check out the Sheepsfoot Grip. If I could mod anything it would be the the Adamas and mini Adamas in Ti no no some chunky micarta no maybe brass? I’ll take one of everything! 😂

[@romanm3538]

Bring the Anthem Back!

[@J_DuB27]

My custom build would have to be ti/dama combo 940 with orange accents. Future options... if they did the adamas family ... I'd have to sell a kidney or 2.

[@1hapidada]

I haven’t built anything yet, but I plan to

[@tomweingart2337]

Zach I'm probably not the right person to comment on custom knives, the standard stock options are just fine for me 👍🏻

[@tommyboy8341]

I have always wanted a benchmade just can't afford them always want a bugout or the Osborne. Maybe one day.

[@OffSeason5]

when do you do your live stream usually i could never catch them

[@zachstuff]

Every Sunday noon PST. If you’re subscribed you can hit the bell notification to receive alerts of new postings and livestreams! See you soon!

[@TopDog8762]

The question is What Would You Build?. I would build something that costs less than $100 Just so I could say, BM actually made something that costs less than a bill. 😉

[@jjonha707]

🥃🧨🤘🏻

[@Imme...1]

940 thanks zach but i really want build a tree house lol😅

[@Alicordparacord]

1st like

[@zachstuff]

Legend!

[@johnniewalker3134]

NONE, i already own a benchmade auto adamas and claymore. Nothing more is needed.

[@ArrowVelocity]

They don’t look custom

[@GuyFormallyKnownAsTeeFetch]

I'd build vicariously through someone else who likes building but I'd say blue whatever the dealer's choice.

[@GuyFormallyKnownAsTeeFetch]

I also don't know enough about Benchmade to request what's next.
