Man Zach finding this video cost me some money now. I have to get the Bugout and these scales, backspacer, and some Ti Hardware now. 🤦♂️ Thanks Brother for all the Benchmade stuff.
This was a good video. I'm getting ready to do a custom bugout build. I got a nice hollow ground Magnacut blade from Brian at Transparent Knives and I'm trying to decide which scales I want to go with. Anyway great video, I really enjoyed it. 🔥🔥🔥
Am about to do the exact same mod with a black blade, black critter scales and black back spacer. Basically an all blacked out bugout. Yours does look sick though!
Hey Zach. Just completed my Rogue Scale install on my Benchmade Bugout. You asked about any tricks about the pivot pin install. What worked for me, was instead of using the T10 to put into one side to keep everything, (Blade & Washers) centered into the pivot hole as you showed, was I used instead a round Torx key set, that had round shafts of variable widths. Just find the closest one that will slide right into the pivot hole. For me a T27 Torx shaft worked to closely center all the components. Once the blade and washers are about exact, pull out the shaft slightly, start insert of the pivot pin, and at the same time, rock them slightly forwards and backwards, to keep everything centered, slips right in, well at least for me it did, and I didn't have to disassemble any further. Pivot pin has a flat side as you mentioned in the vid, it is facing the top, towards the axis lock at the 12:00 position. Apply fresh thread locker, and your good to go. Blade centered perfectly the first time.
Right on Paul I think the larger torx would be perfect. Cool you got the Rogue Bladeworks scales too! I appreciate your feedback and support! It is very cool to share and grow with everyone in the knife community!
Darn locktite has them nice and secure. Couple options with light heat you can find some videos on RUclips. Just be careful of the plastic scales. Good luck!
They are very nice as you see, he has custom back spacers. With mine he had the flat option or the geared look. I went geared and love it. No barrel spacers yet....but the stock ones stay on. So you might be able to find them through another builder and just don’t put this one in from your order. Thanks for watching the long video!
Looks great! I see a Bugout with RSD scales in my future. It’s been a while since I replaced my Mini Grip scales but if I remember correctly I had to keep the blade partially deployed to allow the pivot to go back in.
I love these scales they make the Bugout look like a custom knife. I need a Bugout,with these scales the Bugout would be a solid and thin edc knife. Benchmade has a special custom Bugout going for around 750 dollars on their website but this is way more exciting and alot cheaper,with 750 you can make few of these lol
They are beautiful!!! I really want some for my blue bugout (the ranger grey one i like too much as it is) - such a same the dude is all sold out :( good man, cheers
Thanks Julian! Give him a shout on Instagram as you can get a set ordered. Also I have a set he donated for my 1k giveaway. Find that video and leave a comment etc to be entered for a chance to win!
Benchmade doesn’t sell just the blades at the current moment. They will install a new blade on your knife if you send it in and purchase a new blade from them.
Damn, those are beautiful! They probably cost more than the knife. I wish they made scales for my Griptillian. Benchmade's plastic scales absolutely suck. One good thing is you can buy and old knife and get a new blade for $5. Then do what you did.
alert alert alert! 4 level terror warning! alert alert alert! this is a 3 level terror warning! yeeaa this is from funktasztikus new rapp firelit as the knife is terorr warning too!
Hopefully it's temporary. I'll keep watching them. I know there are other scales for them but I really like these, they solve every complaint I have about the Bugout and make it potentially an awesome knife. Are you still happy with yours?
‘’Very nice looking knife’’...love the blue ascent. looked on there website couldn’t find that color. Nice video ...Thanks
Good lord, those scales are breathtaking.
Man Zach finding this video cost me some money now. I have to get the Bugout and these scales, backspacer, and some Ti Hardware now. 🤦♂️ Thanks Brother for all the Benchmade stuff.
The scales look incredible. I think I may get a set for my 940.
what a mesmerising scales! nice vid mate!
those are SICK Zach
how often do they restock?

Nice blade upgrade Paul!! There are some fun scales for your build. Let me know what you go with.
Man that knife looks gorgeous with those scales and the coated blade. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Am about to do the exact same mod with a black blade, black critter scales and black back spacer. Basically an all blacked out bugout. Yours does look sick though!
Oh nice! That’s going to look amazing!

Good to know, I'm just about to take apart my own and throw on some flytanium copper scales. thanks for the help bud👍
Slick for sure! Nice so nice
They are a great addition!! Thanks Jedan!
I think these are the best looking scales I've seen yet.
I picked up a bugout with those same scales just anodized all blue, and I love them. A great mod for a great knife.
Awesome! I bet they look amazing!
I’m trying to swap the screws on my barrage and I can’t get the stock ones lose without damn near stripping them
Darn locktite has them nice and secure. Couple options with light heat you can find some videos on RUclips. Just be careful of the plastic scales. Good luck!
@@zachstuff well I upgraded my torque bits so hopefully that helps a bit too
how do I get this color combo? Can't find it on the website.
Howdy! Just email them your requested colors and they will make you custom scales with the colors you want!
Zach’s Stuff thanks man! I was starting to think these were a limited color option and I’d missed out haha! Thanks!
Can't find the scales...how much for the knife?
Your channel is gonna make me go broke. I just ordered a bugout and some titanium scales from RSD.
After this build you won’t need another knife.......yeah right! Let me know how you like it and if you have any questions!
Zach’s Stuff thanks
Nice! What does it weigh now?
Thank you! I did a comparison with the modified bugouts and posted their weights in this video: ruclips.net/video/6voasipwuno/видео.html
Nice I will probably get a pair now that you have shown them to me. Does he make custom barrel spacers?
They are very nice as you see, he has custom back spacers. With mine he had the flat option or the geared look. I went geared and love it. No barrel spacers yet....but the stock ones stay on. So you might be able to find them through another builder and just don’t put this one in from your order. Thanks for watching the long video!
Your videos are some of the only ones that I don’t skip threw
PI Blades thanks! Try to keep most under 5 minutes. Appreciate you watching this long video!
Like most of these after market scales, there are no left handed carry screw openings for the carry clip, like the Benchmade scales.
Are you still using the Ti anodized gold/blue scales? If not, is be interested in buying them from you.
Please contact me either way. Thanks.
Just bought some scales and a backspacer from Matt. I’m excited to get it all put together!
Damn brother I think I’m going to swap my scales too it’s just fucking sick as hell. Well done on the back spacer
How much do those scales weigh versus the plastic ones?
I weighed all the Bugout scales and compared them in my “will it flex” video about the Bugouts.
Looks great! I see a Bugout with RSD scales in my future.
It’s been a while since I replaced my Mini Grip scales but if I remember correctly I had to keep the blade partially deployed to allow the pivot to go back in.
I wish this was still available :P
Get ahold of him and he will take custom orders. www.rockscaledesign.com
Love the scales definitely set that bugout off.if I ever able to get a bugout will have to look at getting a set for mine.
Did u buy the scales anodized or did you do it yourself. I can’t seem to find an anodized option on the RSD website.
Purchased from him directly. Just send him an email or message on IG. He will put an order together for you on what ano you like.
Zach’s Stuff ok thanks. Just curious how much extra did it cost?
Not sure on the exact amount, but it wasn't too much more to have the ano done.
Hey Zack, what did your new sca lkl es run you?
They run around $150 depending on style and color.
@@zachstuff damn, that's more than the knife costs. Definitely beautiful scales though. They look amazing.
What is the price on those scales?
Each design has a different price. So I would email or message him for an exact price. I will have to find what I paid for these.
I love these scales they make the Bugout look like a custom knife. I need a Bugout,with these scales the Bugout would be a solid and thin edc knife. Benchmade has a special custom Bugout going for around 750 dollars on their website but this is way more exciting and alot cheaper,with 750 you can make few of these lol
are those available somewhere? Those are sick scales😳
He has some of the same design on his website, but I don’t think he offers the anodizing work currently.
Love the color!
Indeed a Rock Scale Designs does great work!
So much better than the plastic scales
Agreed 💯!!!
Sick scales but I just love the RANGER green an black blade. My wife bought it for me.
Thanks! That is such a good combo. Cool your wife bought you a great knife!
Wow! Beautiful.
He does some good work!!!
Those scales are AWESOME!!!
I love these scales! I hate trying to put the pivot back in though, absolute pain.
I have a trick to it if you ever need to know
The Knife Connection please help lol
@@theknifeconnection9571 what’s the trick?
@@theknifeconnection9571 what's the trick?
Hey mate, trying to find alternate scales here in Europe for a 275 Adamas any thoughts? Tried the conventional routes of eBay/amazon sadly no luck.
Howdy! Only ones I have seen are ones people were making and posting about on bladeforums.com
Cleanest bugout ive seen.
It’s a beautiful set of scales and makes the knife a limited edition! Super work by Rock Scale Designs!
That looks real nice now. Keep it up man.
Appreciate it! Thank you for watching and subscribing!
That would look even more beautiful with a Lynch deep carry clip.
Oh yeah those are so nice! Thanks Theresa!
Damn...so awesome.
Hey where do I get some dope scales like that. I guess I know but I like to look at other sources too. Tnx bruh
Some great ones from Rock Scale Design, Rogue Bladeworks has some sweet ones coming out! Or Death Grips for G10/Carbon Fiber hand crafted.
Zach’s Stuff thanks alot
They are beautiful!!! I really want some for my blue bugout (the ranger grey one i like too much as it is) - such a same the dude is all sold out :( good man, cheers
Thanks Julian! Give him a shout on Instagram as you can get a set ordered. Also I have a set he donated for my 1k giveaway. Find that video and leave a comment etc to be entered for a chance to win!
@@zachstuff thanks dude, will ask him and definitely check out your other vid. Have a good one bud :)
looks AMAZING!
Did they stop anodizing them or did you have those special ordered. Those are the nicest scales I've seen.
You can request whichever ano color or color combo is on the spectrum! Just shout them an email. Thanks for the support Brandon!
Thanks Zach.
Those do look gorgeous, on that knife!
Right on! Thank you!
How much
I’m super late to the video but I just got a CF elite bugout and titanium RSD scales
That is a great Bugout Build!!! Nice!
These scales are all SOLD OUT. Any idea if they will build more? Or WHEE to snag a set of these or similar scales?
Rogue is making more right now and also working on a retail distribution which will be great for everyone!
Also Rock Scale will make you some just email or send him a message on Instagram.
Thank You!!! Love the knife...hate the flimsy scales.
Again....Thank You.
Groovy!
I just subbed
Thanks for this upload
🙏👑🐯👑🙏
Right on! Welcome! Thank you!
Can you just buy the blades?
Benchmade doesn’t sell just the blades at the current moment. They will install a new blade on your knife if you send it in and purchase a new blade from them.
@@zachstuff thanks! Good to know.
You’re Welcome!
Amazing
haha i actually use the same trick , putting a torx bit in place of the pivot.
Ive waited to late to can't find any scales for my bugout.
New ones are a week or two away on several sites! Check Rogue Bladeworks and Rock Scale Design!
Damn, those are beautiful! They probably cost more than the knife. I wish they made scales for my Griptillian. Benchmade's plastic scales absolutely suck. One good thing is you can buy and old knife and get a new blade for $5. Then do what you did.
Flytanium makes some different scales for the Griptilian
That looks so radical! I’m afraid to try installing this myself. I’ll do my best though
Thank you! Let me know if you have questions!
A Damascus handle would be beautiful
Lol this is very pretty. Now on etsy their are some carbon fiber with burl wood inserts scales for bugout. They look incredible
That is bad ass looking now.
Thank you! I love it!
The simple modest look is what drew me into the bugout... way to make it look like a gas station knife.
Everyone has to have one blingy gas station knife!
I have the satin finish blade so I think it will look even nicer
That will look good!
Big UPS bruh well done
I think I rather get a high end benchmade knife because if I have to order a knife and order other 100 dallor handle kinda a waste of time
A great option Cheng!
alert alert alert! 4 level terror warning! alert alert alert! this is a 3 level terror warning! yeeaa
this is from funktasztikus new rapp firelit as the knife is terorr warning too!
/ur beautiful knife
Thanks for watching!
Ofmg those scales are dope change them I hate the original bugout scales
👍🏼 Mail me those .
Rockscale's site: "Due to high volume of orders during the holidays. The store will temporarily closed for a few days." Sold out of everything.
Oh man. I am bummed to hear that.
Hopefully it's temporary. I'll keep watching them. I know there are other scales for them but I really like these, they solve every complaint I have about the Bugout and make it potentially an awesome knife. Are you still happy with yours?
He should be caught up soon! I love the ones I have and are ordering a 2nd set.
Andy Bernard
Those are ridiculous and I really want a set.
They are gorgeous! A wonderful upgraded Scale Design!
Wtf...change the thumb stud color too. Shits irking me.
Meh.
Chopstick for the pivot.
Good idea!
