Thanks for uploading this video. I also have the first production Bailout in FRN scales but didn't carry it much due to the scales. I ordered blue Putman aluminum scales, had it installed and love it. Took the Bailout to a whole new level and will be carrying it more. Look forward to more of your knife modification videos!
Im midway through a Pennsylvania Bronco wheeling trip for summer plans and ill probably be fine with the pommel but ima see if theyll do the graphite finish on the plain ones like they do on their critter titanium scales for this guy
I think im gonna get some for my bugout, i went to there sight i didnt see any for the mini grip, im trying to find some, i found some composite on a diff sight but id like to get ti
5, 3, 7 Pretty sweet upgrade, even if you're not totally into the looks, flex, which I do, it's still fun and theripudic to take things apart, put them back together, and rock the look for a while. Also, if you need more weather/environment resistance for camping, etc. I bought a few of those bottles of aegis and spray it on everything, although if you're touching it, it's going to keep getting dirty, so you'll still have to clean often. Phone, sunglasses, metal stuffs, is what I use it on. Thanks for the upload.
Excellent swap! That's the reason I went for Bailout Black with aluminum scales and M4 - made all sense considering the swaps I would have to make to make it right)
Love the results!!! Looks awesome! My favorite part: "Shhhh dont tell anyone" LOL had me cracking up in the office! And dont worry i was stuck the other day with the same problem putting the pivot and washers in!
I rounded the edges of my pomel it helped allot. I've got something in the works to replace the pomel. Really like RSD Titanium scales those pivots can be a glitch sometimes 🤣 !! Thanks for sharing looks great
@@zachstuff thanks all I was seeing was black and blue soldering mats . I started looking after trying to take apart an ikbs knife lol. Rockstead sells a backspacer youd want
I came across this tonight with the bailout man your my hero brother I just may do a few projects myself with the bailout I was focusing on other knife mods ano and carving gimping ect...diy dremel work to existing copies of several knives I have of I don’t care about doesn’t cost me anything so I’m practicing I have been getting used to having a steady hand and thinking of mods to do to g10 and blade yes I’m ready to do. Awesome vid and TI bailout scales brother this is why you my #1 channel your always up to something dope. I’ve done a couple decent mods to a few copies. Metal Complex used to be my favorite but no disrespect on him he has changed in my eyes he used to be so humble then everyone was sending a million knives and his ego and head inflated I still watch but he fell off my top 10 he has entertaining vids but he just talks a lot shit and became a snob in my opinion I know he us your friend I speaking from along time sub and viewer. You guys always keep it real and humble and don’t take yourselves so serious and become an ad whores but I get it if it is making some money but looks like he expects people to given to him knives now. Has em all sold on sending him whatever he mentions I can see the car salesman in his voice. Sorry for stupid vent on your vid. I really like you . JT EDCC. Its fresh 537 and much better then now days it’s all the same thing.
I plan on spending my summer ( winter here ) in exotic Tasmania, noice review/assembly/mod dood the scales are very nice I would have used the blue lube cleanser works good for me 573
The struggle is real, those tolerances tho! But the results are legit. I think I would actually prefer the added weight. Still under 3 Oz. but I imagine it feels sturdy and substantial in hand. Thanks for sharing brother. 🤙👊🍻
Oh shit didn’t think I’d get a reply so fast you’re awesome man! For the back spacer I can’t just keep the stock pommel with the glass breaker? On a side note the bailout I lost I had broken the pommel after so much use I had forget that I could have sent it for warranty and I ended up fixing it myself what and idiot huh? But it did feel great fixing my own stuff.
You’re Welcome! Yeah just email Rock Scale to confirm the original pommel works. New items drop on his site tomorrow. Sometimes fixing it yourself is fun!!
Looks amazing the colors of the blade and the scales 🔥 great mix of class and function, im going to have to pull the trigger on this combo. Loved the bailout hated the plastic and didnt like the green aluminum but this is it right here 👌
537...Just got my bailout as a birthday present from my wife and had no idea it was coming. Love my bugout, and now I really love this knife too. Keep up the great videos.
537. I kinda dig it although honestly the price jump for aftermarket scales on a knife is kinda huge for me. I don't hate the pommel concept although making it out of aluminum is odd. But overall the knife looks way cooler and the weight is still totally reasonable.
yeah titanium addiction that pommel gots to go love the bug out scales the change would have gone slicker then snot on a door knob had the camera had not been there also if you find good titanium cleaner stuff please let us no thanks 537
That's how all benchmades should be made, for there prices. Most of the time they look like plastic toys. I bet benchmade makes a killing on their product percentage turn around.
I almost feel like you work for Rockscale knives. I really also must wonder if Benchmade makes knives like this on purpose so people buy titanium scales & such. Then I go on thinking that maybe Benchmade set up another company called Rockscales to sell more product. 😮
So you've done this more than once and still don't know to or how to align the blade pivot and washer holes before trying to install the pivot shaft? Really?
Just purchased a pair. Thank you! Have a great 4th of July!
Glad you like them!
Good job behind the camera.
Thank you very much!
Yeah south jersey in the house!!!!!!!
3 years ago. I actually just now bought one of these today. It’s pretty sweet just how it is

Because of this video, I just ordered a set of titanium scale's. I like the aluminum pommel.
Right on!! You should enjoy them!!
Cool scales bud. Thanks for shooting the lengthy vid to show us the process. I have to grab a bugout.
Thanks for the feedback! Yes you would enjoy the Bugout! Let me know when your ready!
Dude the difference those scales make is unbelievable. If you've got anything spare laying around I'd be happy to give it a home
Im midway through a Pennsylvania Bronco wheeling trip for summer plans and ill probably be fine with the pommel but ima see if theyll do the graphite finish on the plain ones like they do on their critter titanium scales for this guy
Hopefully these come back in stock soon, this looks so much better!
Check his site on Saturday around noon pacific. Usually his time he posts new stock!
I think im gonna get some for my bugout, i went to there sight i didnt see any for the mini grip, im trying to find some, i found some composite on a diff sight but id like to get ti

I’m enjoying my time off from college right now. Love your videos by the way!
Looks pretty smooth brother! Weight is still under 3oz so no issue with that. Pommel definitely needs to go...lol! Thanks for sharing brother!
Excellent swap! That's the reason I went for Bailout Black with aluminum scales and M4 - made all sense considering the swaps I would have to make to make it right)
Wow really amazing Benchmade knife design looks setup reviews you have!!! :D
I got one of these coming to me with the scales.. I agree the Pomel is the only part I’m not wild about
As soon as I realized RSD did the pommel delete I ordered my bailout ! haha hate the look of the knife with it on.
Love the results!!! Looks awesome! My favorite part: "Shhhh dont tell anyone" LOL had me cracking up in the office! And dont worry i was stuck the other day with the same problem putting the pivot and washers in!

537 looks great
Really nice, a really clean look.
Agreed their work is solid!
Those scales are a huge improvement. I'd offer to print you a replacement for that horrible pommel but I don't have a bailout to get the measurements.
Does the 3v pommel from the grivory handle fit the factory green aluminum m4 handle?
I cant wait to FINALLY get a Bugout & Bailout!!! I'm still hoping & praying I can be so lucky to take the W on the Bugout gaw🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏
Hell yeah man. That's the way the bailout should have been from benchmade
Solid indeed!
Been waiting for some scales like these for my 537. Love the knife, not so much for the stock scales.
Zach that blue seriously pops on your 940
Stickin with my 535. Steve needs some new scales for his 537, that's for sure.
Loving the scale mods as well!
Thinking bout upgrading my scales alla sudden!
Yeah buddy do it!!
Nice looking Benchmade 537 which happens to be when the siege of Rome started.
Groovy! Thank you!
Zach with the Beanchmades for the WIN :))
Where can I get different axis lock bars I have a black one but want either a stainless one or a blue one
A couple people sell sets online or the bay. Otherwise part swapping is your last option, with other knives.
Will that fancy ring thing on the black one open a beer?Everything on that dude's website is sold out.
It will but takes a second! Not design directly to be a bottle opener.
Send him an email or message on IG. He will get you dialed in!
Where did you get the bottom lanyard hole from?
They are stock on the black Bailout. Described as a pommel. Came from Benchmade.
Really need to get a bug out and bailout 👍 one-day
I empathise with you doing mods on camera. I do one take videos I don't know how to edit. Fun times😜 537 atb paddy 👍☘️😀
Love the scales great mods awesome
Great video brother
Much appreciated!!
Where did you get a grey mat like that
On Amazon. It’s an electronics parts mat. They have many colors and designs.
@@zachstuff thanks all I was seeing was black and blue soldering mats . I started looking after trying to take apart an ikbs knife lol. Rockstead sells a backspacer youd want
Nice! If you don't find it let me know I can track down the link.

You could just cut off the pommel instead and then sand it down flush. Just use the dremel tool you talked about.
And cool vid!
The scales are awesome, but been sold out most of end of 2020 until now early 2021
The struggle is real, those tolerances tho! But the results are legit. I think I would actually prefer the added weight. Still under 3 Oz. but I imagine it feels sturdy and substantial in hand. Thanks for sharing brother. 🤙👊🍻
I lost the second version of this today and I just ordered it again lol. Tho do you guys know if these scales will work with the second bailout
Oh bummer! Yes the scales will work for the 2nd version. Just have to order a backspacer from Rock Scale Design.
Oh shit didn’t think I’d get a reply so fast you’re awesome man! For the back spacer I can’t just keep the stock pommel with the glass breaker?

537...Just got my bailout as a birthday present from my wife and had no idea it was coming. Love my bugout, and now I really love this knife too. Keep up the great videos.
If you would just open the knife you could line up the pivot screw so much easier
It says "All blasted scales are finished with oil-based PTFE to help reduce fingerprints and scratches". I'm wondering whether they are toxic
thanks for your review!
537. I kinda dig it although honestly the price jump for aftermarket scales on a knife is kinda huge for me. I don't hate the pommel concept although making it out of aluminum is odd. But overall the knife looks way cooler and the weight is still totally reasonable.
Those look good. I like RSD's Bugout scales. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who fights a bit to reassemble an axis lock knife. 537
What would I have to do to talk you out of a set of those Ritter Bugout scales? Apparently cant buy them anymore.
could you do an update to this video?!?!?!?! i wanna see what you think now and how the handles have held up!
Sure I will add it to my video list! Thanks Trekkin!
Pretty cool as nice job on the breakdown and put back together.......537.......Good stuff....
537 looking good!👍
Got a discount code for the scales? 537?
Not yet…..!
@@zachstuff ask about one =) I hate paying full retail!
You always manage to make this look so easy. 537.
Summer plans: work. Bleh.
537 cannot wait for my bailout still waiting for it to arrive love thoes scales wot are they like for grip
Awesome! They have good texture to them so not slippery!
Those Rock scales are beautiful but idk if I can justify buying scales that are the same price as the entire base knife
Very enthusiastic voice 😂
If I had 537 dollars I would buy 3 of these.
Beuxtyful knive 😍🤘
yeah titanium addiction that pommel gots to go love the bug out scales the change would have gone slicker then snot on a door knob had the camera had not been there also if you find good titanium cleaner stuff please let us no thanks 537
Doesn't CRK use wd-40 to clean their scales before they ship a knife out??
It sure feels like it! Soap and water works best on the titanium to cut the oil.
You need a pivot tool.
Upgraded to that a while ago! So helpful!
Awesome results love the titanium scales! 537
537! Need some for my Bugout👍
537 🤘
That's how all benchmades should be made, for there prices. Most of the time they look like plastic toys. I bet benchmade makes a killing on their product percentage turn around.
I would do the upgrade but that is just too much work
I almost feel like you work for Rockscale knives. I really also must wonder if Benchmade makes knives like this on purpose so people buy titanium scales & such. Then I go on thinking that maybe Benchmade set up another company called Rockscales to sell more product. 😮
Thanks for the feedback! I do not work for any of these companies. But I do love customizing the knives I have!
Would you sell one of your first production knives?
I’m not selling any of them currently.
Zach’s Stuff ok. Do you know where I could get one?
Which knife are you looking for a first production edition??
537 I'm here!!!!!
537 little late lol
537🍻
537 biiiittttch
Thanks for the heart man!!
😂😂😂😂
hmm
537
So you've done this more than once and still don't know to or how to align the blade pivot and washer holes before trying to install the pivot shaft? Really?
Had to start at some point and move forward!
