- Today, we'll take a break from the insanity of the world to do something small, and put a nice set of scales from Rogue Bladeworks on the Benchmade knives Mini-Bugout.

Sounds like you were having a rough time when you made this, Nick. I hope you're doing well. Please keep in mind that for a lot of people you're not just some jackass reviewing knives on TH-cam - you're a much needed and greatly appreciated respite. Hang in there, and thanks for all the great work you do.
To be honest, the orange barrel spacers and orange thumb studs works well with the carbon fiber.
love the black and orange combination
I don't
I feel like it would need all orange hardware to match better
I like it too. Bird and Frankie did almost the same thing and it looks great
I like the look a lot, and am considering doing something similar to my mini bugout. I think a plain clip and screws would look better with carbon fiber than the blacked out clip/screws.
@@bernardwelsh1877 especially the black clip can get some scratchs if you bump into something which sometimes doesn't look good
Everyone: watching the tiger king
Me: waiting for the Nick to upload vidz.
His videos do have a soothing effect....for me at least. :)
Video is aging well. Enjoyed the video and the humor in what was a tough time.
Sickest looking bugout I have ever seen
A field strip feature for the bugout so that people can change scales without voiding the warranty would be fantastic.
Sometimes doing normal things during abnormal times can restore a sense of normalcy. We appreciate you and the channel. Stay safe and thanks for the entertainment and distraction.
I'm so glad I found your video. Getting the pivot in was causing me mild chest pain, once I watched you put it in in the extended position, my pivot popped right in.
Thanks a bunch!
Crazy times, your videos bring me tranquility 🤗
It’s been a weird , tough few weeks and yes folks may have other things on their mind . BUT just getting to sit back and watch guys or girls make videos like this to help entertain us is really helping out . Thanks for the video Nick !!!
Thanks nick. This is literally the only way I would carry a bugout, with upgraded scales
there seems to be a lot of trouble and sadness in your voice nick. I wish you all the best and that YOU have yourself a wonderful day nick. You have us and we have you.
He seems happy
Those new scales look great. Thanks for sharing. Stay healthy!
Liked it in all orange but really like the new scales and the orange thumbstud and spacers. Love it. Great vid as always. Thank you.
Great video and very therapeutic to be watching this right now. Great idea for self care and very important to get small wins especially at this time. Thanks for the vid and i enjoy watching your videos.
I literally just got my white and black Mini Bugout, and copper Flytanium scales today! So although i always enjoy Nicks videos, this one is especially pertinent. You know you're comming up in the knife game when Nick Shabazz is currently reviewing the one you just got
This was highly therapeutic . Just grabbed a deep pocket clip for my Spyderco Military that has been sitting in my knife chest and put it on . Thanks for the diversion from CV overload.
I just ordered a mini bugout, Rogue Bladeworks left-handed blue G-10 scales, and a blue titanium thumbstud, thanks Nick
That looks awesome Nick! Thanks for the video!
Congrats on 100k subs, Nick! Started watching your vids when you had less than 20k, and were still in Michigan. Great to see your channel grow.
The knife looks much better now. Thanks for the vid!
I found the video therapeutic Nick. Thank you
You made this much harder than it needed to be.
Watching May 5th, 2021. Heck of a few weeks... definitely.
Nick, you actually haven't voided your warranty by doing this. They'll take knives in with 3rd party parts as long as you sign a sheet saying they are not responsible if anything happens to those parts
I just swap back the original scales and send it in.
Thomas Salter Where can you find that form?
@@PooMonkeyMan last I checked it's on the warranty form, they possibly have changed it since then I would just search their warranty page
Like a pro! I love the Rogue Bladeworks scales! Nice swap video! Have a good week!
Rogue scales turn a meh knife into a phenomenal knife. Love mine...
I'm still waiting for the bugout and mini bugout to go up on the Benchmade Customizer. All they have to do is make the FRN scales in different colors, offer better steels, and give you a few colors for thumb studs and barrel spacers.
Nicholas Coulter don’t hold your breath
He mentioned that in his review of the mini bugout 😏
Nice. Just watched your mini bugout review and this gets posted seconds later. just about anything would be better than those orange scales! Thanks for doing what you're doing.
Great video Nick! Very relaxing actually :)
Good video, although I don’t understand why they made a bug out mini, it was small and light to begin with. Just remember, our ancestors, my grandparents, endured the dust bowl, then the Great Depression. Then, one of my grandfathers joined the army and fought WW2, where he met my grandmother, in Belgium, after they liberated her village. This country has faced monumental hardships in the past, and we’ve always come through with our strength of character. We have running water, electricity, tv, internet, and grocery stores that are almost, or close to, completely stocked (except toilet paper, can’t figure that one out). This is going to end, like other adversities this country has faced. Stay busy, keep your mind “sharp”, we’ll get through this.
Yeah but where are our Roosevelts?
The gray with the orange spacers looks great
I really don't need a mini Bugout but after seeing this I really really want one lol
How about a vid on budget gems!? That would be awesome! Love your vids ✌🏻
Keep on keeping on everyone! Do the little things that make you happy!
Love your watch!
Thanks, Nick! Take care!
Those look great! And I see they do offer these scales in both ambi and lefty only, too.
Cheers from France. Stay safe and .. sharp ; )
Rewatching after buying a mini with SHOUTY LOUD ORANGE SCALES!!! Funny in retrospect that TP hording wasn't even the craziest part of the dumpster fire that was '20.
Solid win Nick! Soooo much better than the SHOUTY LOUD ORANGE!!!
Looks alot better!
Hang in there Nick!
I put RogueBladeWorks cf scales (curved) on my 20cv Bugout .... it’s one of my favorite edc blades rivaling my Hation !
Hang in there Nick, we're all in this together
How about a black thumb stud now! Looks great, I wish the flytanium ones I put on my pm2 were milled like these ones. This also looked a lot easier than changing the ones on the pm2 lol. Great video.
I eneded up ordering the bugout and also titanium scales from rockscale cause of you. 🤣
The fact that high end companies like benchmade or spyderco void the warranty for disassembly is so frustrating. You should be able to take apart your tools and maintain them.
I'm here 10 months later and the pandemic is still going on. You were sadly mistaken when you said "were in the midst" it was just the beginning
Thanks for a moment of Zen in a trying time. I enjoy your maintenance videos. They're relaxing and I often pick up some good tips.
The scales improve the look of the knife immensely, and not just by reducing the quantity of ORANGE. Are you going to do at least a quick review of them? I've been pondering picking up a set for my blue bugout for a while. I like it as is, but the look and added rigidity of the carbon fiber is alluring.
When you realized this scale swap is faster than his Bugout disassembly and maintenance vid.
Different jobs even with a similar process
Nice job. Certainly makes an average looking knife reach beyond its humble beginnings.
Thanks for sharing..
Thank you! I was about to take it all apart. Thank god I didn’t. I’ve done that with my very first knife. Had a blade lock and a much stronger spring for the open assist and it was a bitch to put back together.
For this I chose copper scales to give some weight to the knife.
Hey nick, would love to see a review on the yookers metis refillable felt tip pen, it uses normal fountain pen ink!!
I love that Benchmade gets the tolerances down almost perfect and they use bronze washers WITHOUT those stupid paper thin nylon washers with brass. Manufacturer's like Cold Steel and many others throw in those paper thin nylon washers to take up the slack.
Please do a full review of the scales!
Nice!!
Hey Nick, are you still planning on doing a review of the scales? I would love to see it.
thank you for these slow paced videos you do with the disassemblies etc. . how do you keep your phone above your desk btw, i am trying to set a camera up somewhat similiar
Has anyone tried making bugout scales with a completely different handle shape? I mean, the internals is just a tiny liner basically just big enough for the axis lock to work, so the rest of the knife you can make any shape you want
Hope your doing well Nick
Looks better
YEAH, SELF-CARE, well I try to do so by continuously honing my knife with a ceramic rod for... hours after hours, but that's because I took all my knife out and do maintenance on them already :v
Giving my sister a mini-bugout in white scale, but I'm so tempted to keep it!
Thanks for sharing...what lube and thread-locker do you use?
Think that mini bugout is my next knife
Hey Nick, did you buy 2 sets of Ifixit drivers or do they sell extras?
I got me some flytanium scales for my bugout and cannot get it tuned close to how it worked in the givory
I ended up getting the same scales for my mini bugout, and I noticed that standoff finish got chipped
How much does the knife weigh with the new scales ?
I like your work mat what kind is that?
how did you make your knife opening so smooth mine won't do that unles i heavyflip it
What kind of blue thread locker was that you using I would like to get some of that thanks
Where is the best place to buy aftermarket scales for spyderco pm 2? I’m thinking about getting something from g10lt
Man, these were already hard to find.
I have the orange bugout and I do want the carbon scales but I'm worried about the warranty and also taking it apart an it never working right again 🤔
I tried to swap my own scales and the blade popped out, along with one of the washers. Not it’s super stiff and no longer drops shut like before.
Does the clip have a center tang that goes into the center hole on the scale? I’ve always wondered why Benchmades have three holes milled for the clip
The low profile clip for the bugout doesnt use the center hole, but the 3 hole pattern is standard on benchmades so you can any of their clips in you'd prefer (and likewise, put the bugout clip on any of their other knives).
bugout clip works perfectly on my TRM neutron :D
I noticed that the pivot screw and barrel are reverse of the original set up. Any reason for this?
Idk how i got that pivot back in so quick.... last time i swapped the scales on my bugout it was a solid 15 mins to get that pivot back into place
bill braski It takes some time fiddling around with the axis lock to push it through sometimes
Took me a good 30 min to put my mini grip back together. I took it apart originally to clean and oil the knife, suffice it to say that is the last time I'll do that
Just slowly open the knife as you press on the pivot. I take my bugout and mini griptilian apart pretty regularly for cleaning purposes and it only takes like 10-15 mins to clean and put them back together.
Just checked the website and they offer right, left, and ambi versions of the scales...
All that's left to do is to torch the anodization off the stand offs and thumb studs.
Nick, I’m looking for a company or an artisan to make some one off custom scales. Seems that companies like rogue bw and flytanium make scales for only select models. Any recommendations? Thanks.
Deathgripscales makes some awesome stuff on Instagram.
Diego Salvatierra thank you for the tip
What's the weight with the scales? Lighter?
Hey Mr. Shabazz!
I watch all of you Vids, maybe you can help me with the quest for my edc knife:
I look for knife with phosphor bronze washers, not ball bearings
A flush deep carry clip like the urban trapper has
And a formfactor kinda like the bugout
And a lock without omega springs or anything that questions reliability!
I cannot find a knife like this and thought you might know of something like that!
Stay safe and all the best!
Not nick obviously, but check out the Lil Native.
The Poto thanks for the tip!
What tools do you use?
whats the blue stuff you coat the screw with? anti-seize or loctite?
Loctite
Nick, what is the thread locker you used? Loctite blue?
Yes, also nickshabazz.com/tools for the full list
You would think bm would offer better materials with the popularity of bm aftermarket scales.
It’s a cheap to make knife, and people buy the crap out of them. No need to change anything on BM’s side.
where did you get those drivers?
Opa! :D
link for the scales?
Control is an illusion. The more you try to control, the more you lose control.
I love the orange. mmmmm
I'll trade you some toilet paper for those sales. It use to be worth more than gold.
I have no idea wtf Benchmade was thinking, choosing these colors for the mini bugout.
Easy to find if dropped?
GOOD JOB! WHO MAKES THE THINNEST GRIPTILIAN SCALES? THANKS
I'd be all over a bugout in carbon fiber or at a little more $ in titanium but at its price in frn it's just about $40-50 too much.
Yh your doing soo soo much for the corona effort aren't you
it this dudes voice for real? i feel like it is highly exaggerated lol
