Wow his scales work kinda like the g-10 & 20cv model. I have that version and the only thing I didn't like was how thick it was. Definitely interested in death grip scales now, will definitely be getting a slim set. Thanks for showing us
Wow, that not only looks great, but the difference in width is a huge benefit. I love my Grip, but I’d carry it twice as much with those thinner scales!
Wow the texture looks perfect, I’ve got some micarta on mine currently and looks like they don’t have many people making mini grip scales anymore, I may check out his site cause those are slick! I love this model of mini grip
I like the way you do everything in order I need to learn that with my benchmades even though I haven’t had to tear one apart yet. I need the pivot tool I need to order one. Thanks Zach. I just bought a Griptillian last week. Great deal knivecenter for 109
Very nice. Love the look the carbon fiber gives the knife. I did notice that it looks like the standard pocket clip doesn't actually touch the scales. Easy enough issue to fix, but just seemed a little strange there at the end.
The Ti and canvas micarta 940 scales on the site are gorgeous! I definitely want to get a set of the Griptilian scales sometime. It’s the one reason I never carry my grip. If someone could make Griptilian scales around the $60 range they would make a killing but his prices are some of the best I’ve seen around. Thanks for sharing #dskfs
Folks always comment on how difficult it is taking apart the griptilian, when in all actuality it really isn't.. That pivot tool that we both have makes the job SO much easier since the alignment of the pivot, washers, and blade into the handle can be a bear. I have 551 grips in all the steels BM released, from 154cm to 440hc, and I replaced all the hokey plastic grips with either G10 or Micarta along with standoffs.. Hint: When the knife is apart, apply some frog lube to the omega springs. It acts like glucosamine and chondroitin and will keep flexing for years without issues..
That's great you have the steel line up for the Grips!! I hadn't thought about Frog Lube for the springs, great idea! Thanks for the idea and have a great week!
Does the kit come with the barrel spacers or with a liner? Because on the death grip website the pictures show a liner and I like the look of the barrel spacers better. Thank you in advance!
Howdy! So the scales will be able to come with a backspacer or barrel spacers if you indicate it with your purchase. The liners used are the original ones which come with your griptilian.
Hi. I just found you on u tube the other day with you 940 collection and loved all of them! Ans I subscribed right away! I own a bit of benchmades and would really like my griptilian to look like this one! I don’t have the tools though to do it? Any chance you could and charge me for it if I did wanna change the scales? Love you attention to details also! Please let me know and will understand either way! Thank you! Keep up the great videos and have a good night
Welcome Ray! Thanks for subscribing and checking out my videos! If you are able to get a set ordered from Death Grips, I would be happy to help you swap them out. Also check with Death Grips as you might be able to send it in to him at the time he makes the scales and get you all dialed in. Let me know.
@@zachstuff Hi. Thank you i will have to check it out and see. If not i hope i can get in touch with you in the future? I only have 3 940’s and 1 is a fake- but it is sharp still! The other in a blade hq and then the one in my pocket every day. I have maybe 6 other benchmades -but would love to have some scales replaced like my griptilian -also have the mini but never really liked the stock scales! Thank you for getting back to me about this also. Really do appreciate it!
They don’t have anything in stock for the griptilian now 🤦🏻♂️ I bought a second griptilian with intentions of swapping some nicer scales on to it and now I can’t find scales for the damn thing *anywhere* . Now im stuck with 2 black plastic grips. Only difference is blade shape. Such a piss off.
You got it! It is from Journey Tool Co, with an exclusive drop through Rivers Edge Cutlery. Picked it up a couple of years ago from REC. journeytoolco.com
You will really enjoy them! Send them an email to get on the list if they are not in stock when you check their site. Great customer service and products!
This was an exclusive release on Rivers Edge Cutlery, but the maker of the driver is Journey Tool Co out of Oregon. We should see more of them listed soon. Pretty sure you can sign up on his website and Instagram to keep an eye on the next release.

Really great looking scales! Does slim it down quite a bit!!! Thanks Zach!

Thanks David! Yeah it isn’t bent for the slim scales. Makes it a good candidate for a deep carry clip now!
The new scale makes it look a lot better I really like it 👍 Thanks for sharing Zach. Stay Safe and keep them Sharp 🔪✌🏻

That pivot tool is pretty sick!
Perfect fix!! Definitely makes the Grip more carry friendly 🍻
Zach! I put my new scales on while watching your video. Thank you!
Sweet scales death grip does a great job thanks for sharing Zach

The DG CF Scales raise this way above the next level. You're ready to take on the Big Boss after leveling up here!
Definitely takes it to the next level! Thanks Dano!
Definitely looks great! Great video Zach 👍
Thanks a ton!
I changed scales on an axis lock Benchmade once. Never again, unless I have a pivot alignment tool.
Nice upgrade. They are looking great.
Those scales really improve the knife. Great looking knife Brother.
Looks great Zach! 👍🏻✌🏻
Very nice scales. 👍 So when we scale swap the griptilian, do we really need that rear liner spacer? The -1 g10 ones don't have it. I always wonder.🤷
Keeps the rear portion on the liners in place and would be nice if it could be removed.
Good looking scales. Not sure if I really like the Griptillian though.
Does the kit come with the barrel spacers or with a liner? Because on the death grip website the pictures show a liner and I like the look of the barrel spacers better. Thank you in advance!

What are your thought on the Benchmade 940 in m4 for edc? What are your thoughts on m4? And what your go to edc knife?
Carbon fiber always classy.
Ya got me excited for a minute...thinking they were available...
Send him an email and he will take care of you!
He posts new drops each week.
They look great! I’m a sucker for carbon fiber!🤩
Yeah me too!
Bummer that they are all sold out.
I know they are good about getting people on the build list if you email them.

Don’t be sad. Email Death Grips with what you are looking for. He should be able to get something made to suit.
Zach point me in the direction of that pivot tool plz! Great video btw.
You got it! It is from Journey Tool Co, with an exclusive drop through Rivers Edge Cutlery. Picked it up a couple of years ago from REC. journeytoolco.com
Very nice scales
They are nice!!
Very nice looking knife 🎃
Ordered a set last week, 4-8 weeks wait, ugh is it really going to take that long??
The best work always takes time! He makes them after orders. Unless it was a stock drop order. Great products!
Had my mini griptilian for ages. Always disliked the bulky grips. This is just what ive always wanted.
You will really enjoy them! Send them an email to get on the list if they are not in stock when you check their site. Great customer service and products!
@@zachstuff Bummer, they don't make them anymore 👎🏼
Beautiful
Benchmade is the Glock of the knife world, mediocre parts knowing the buyer will upgrade.
Where can I find a bit driver like the one that you are using?
This was an exclusive release on Rivers Edge Cutlery, but the maker of the driver is Journey Tool Co out of Oregon. We should see more of them listed soon. Pretty sure you can sign up on his website and Instagram to keep an eye on the next release.
Cool mod!
What is the weight difference with the new scales?
Stock weight is 3.76oz. After swapping scales it weighs 4.06oz.
Thank you. Are there any other scales I can use to replace originals, which are either lighter or same
Weight?
Badass but I'm not paying the same price for scales as the knife
Missing out for sure!
Making me regret selling my grip lol
Oh if you could only hold this one with the new Death Grip Scales!! Another grip would be in your collection! Thanks Adam!
The scales look great unfortunately Death Grip Scales are out of all scales? Go figure😢
Send him an email and get on the production list. He is pretty good about that. He adds different scales each week.
@@zachstuff Noted will do, thx 😊
