Benchmade Bugout Custom Configurations

Benchmade now offers Bugout custom configurations, amongst other models. I really had hoped Spyderco would have done this already.

I can sort of do this at home with all of my Delica models.

I think that Sal said Spyderco investigated it and decided it didn't make financial sense.

I think there is room for someone(s) to create a Spyderco 'mod shop' and take custom orders. In some ways, KnivesWeLove on eBay already does that.

SMKW and Knives Plus sort of do it as well.

The Benchmade configs are very expensive, so I expect it to be profitable. The two test runs I did came out to $310+ for each one.
