Can you get the studs back on?

[XDM50]

@Amarksyhk

Yes, they just screw together.

Very simple but highly effective mods,good stuff as always Duane,i got the Benchmade 550HG plain edge,satin finish but with opening hole instead of thumbstud so i may do the "Poor Mans Wave Mod"with 2 nylon cable ties in the hole around top side of blade to simulate Emerson wave feature.Ive also been thinkin about replacing the chunky grips with some much thinner G-10 handle slabs of my own design cause then it'd be perfect for my liking.Keep up the wicked vids and take care my friend...Richard

Hey Richard,

Thanks for your comments. I agree about the G10, it's a much better handle material. I'd love to see a vid if you make the handle change.

Peace Bro!

How did you take the Clip off?

[XDM50]

@dcvids123

It takes a T6 torx screwdriver.

@XDM50:

I think you did too :)

I knew I could have taken the black off but I preferred the slotted version.

Good vid, Duane!

You can wrist flick this knife open w/o the stud or the lock mech. It’s much faster than an auto-knife. Take’s a little practice. Just hold it and flick.

Great vid! I took the polishing a bit further with my Benchmade. Check it out and let me know what you think. Good work, keep it up!

@exsigint

Thanks for your comments. Mine doesn't have any blade rattle in the open or closed position. I also started with the Mini-Griptilian but I wanted something bigger. This is one of my 3 fav EDC knives. The other 2 are Spyderco Tenacious and SOG Aegis.

You have got to get the SOG Flash I for EDC
