Blade Swap On A Custom 940 Benchmade Osborne

[@Salamando3D]

She's a beaut, Clark. But seriously, that's an awesome combo right there. Nicely done, Zach! 👍

[@zachstuff]

Thanks! I am so appreciative of the swap from TK and very happy with the combo look. Have a great weekend!

[@rob10ring]

Good match! I’d like to see the centering tricks on a 940.

[@zachstuff]

Might just do a members only video on that!!

[@rob10ring]

Probably would help a wider audience.

[@diverson63]

I like the new blade with the Ti scales.

[@zachstuff]

Really does make the build complete! Thanks for checking out the swap and your feedback!

Currently have a new 945-2 with the smooth carbon fiber and my name engraved tastefully (small) on the darker stonewash blade. It's a beautiful knife, love the little touch of blue glinting in my pocket though this may be hurt by the deep carry pocket clip I ordered. I have a similar problem though, the satin hardware doesn't match the stonewash blade. Why is life this way? So what I'll do is I'll order another whole knife and become a 945 collector. The custom shop is so fun, I've been obsessively designing knives for myself and others and I don't even like other people. The one I'm soon pulling the trigger on is a 945 with the black carbon fiber scales provided, the more textured and utilitarian look makes me hard. For that matter I'll need all black hardware; axis, screws and liner. Not the thumb stud and spacers though, I have another idea for those. The blue on my 945-2 is pretty but that green is so gnarly and gross, more appropriate for me. Here's hoping it's as vibrant as it looks online and not kind of a desaturated frog ass green. The blade, though, is the entire point of this second $400 purchase. As you know the provided blade is a shiny satin that will look perfect on my 945-2 with matching software and flirty blue. Get out of here blue, I'm a sigma. That's the only reason I can afford these knives. I can't remember what humans feel like. Let's put the finishing touch on this shiny, wonderfully shaped blade: a png of the official Nintendo seal of quality just between and beneath the Benchmade butterfly and alien nipple green thumbstud. Complete with TM and R. I do wonder whether anyone at Benchmade may take interest. Once I have my 945-2 and custom I remove both blades, switch thumbstuds between the two, and put the blades back in opposite knives. Then finally I have my lovely official Nintendo 945-2 with matching metals, handsomely coated in woven carbon fiber! We won't be using this one. It's pretty and shiny so that's the first safe queen. Instead I'll edc my fully custom 945 with the darker blade and my name on it as an insurance policy because surely anyone who finds my $400 knife will see my name and return it. The more tactile feel of the handle stimulates the fingers. The black hardware remains discreet and doesn't clash with the blade's dim shine. The green spacers glow the color my farts smell. Of course I'm putting another deep carry pocket clip on this one and it's the perfect knife for my pocket. Wish a beginning 945 collector luck.

Alien nipples.OOK. Is that the name of something that some aftermarket company sells for real?this customized knife thing can get confusing. To me anyway.

[@Jr-Mz]

Does look better with the new blade 👍

[@zachstuff]

Just the best swap and a huge thanks to TK!

[@granne2970]

[@CrookedlegGreg]

I would prefer the polished blade more than the stone washed blade

[@zachstuff]

Ok nice!

[@tariqkamil7853]

Darker blade is perfect

[@zachstuff]

Most definitely!! Enjoy your weekend!

[@HappyGrouch229]

I have a Benchmande 9101bk Auto Stryker. Was issued it when in Iraq and I am hoping to replace the blade. I'm neurotic about the 20 year old knife and am wondering if there's any possible way to find a replacement blade for it, even aftermarket. I can't find it anywhere...any ideas?

[@wbwills2]

I just recently got interested in crossbar type lock knives,which lead me to BMs of course. I have been looking around online At everything from parts to knockoffs.Trying to figure out how to get the knife Id like to have at possibly a better price than retail. I did see a couple ppl selling just a blade on ebay. You can probably find what you are looking for if you keep checking back. Or maybe call BM and see if they will do one like you want.would think they would. Good luck with it. Take care.

[@HappyGrouch229]

@@wbwills2 Thanks man, I've called BM and they won't. It must be sent back and I just can't trust that. If I knew exactly what blade to try on eBay I would probably buy a few to see what fits. I dont mind Knock offs
