Hey guys,

I thought this was a pretty cool offering… on the Benchmade website you can customize a few of their folding knife models. I have been in “need” of a smaller carry knife to replace my CRKT and have a birthday coming up... During the process you choose the blade shape/blade color/blade steel, personalization, grip color, axis, liner, screws, and clip. I "designed" the following knife as a nod to my first dog, Taylor, that passed away a couple years back -- it ran around $145. They send you update emails as your knife progresses through the manufacturing process with videos explaining each of the steps. I’ll follow-up with a post when the knife arrives in a couple weeks.

Have a good day,

Jay

Nice knife, I had a Griptilian made some years back with the names of my dogs and dog prints also, it has been my EDC for some time and I have been thinking about getting another made
