Benchmade Skirmish

Does anyone else love the Benchmade Skirmish ?
I have 4 at home, 3 large one and a mini Skirmish are still in the USA. Does anyone here have a nice collection ?

Skirmish are one of the most beautiful folders.
I prefer the Mini-Skirmish.

I love that second one ! I'm currently getting a Large Skirmish "pimped out" and the handles are getting that dent-pattern

A large Skirmish with that design! :surprise:
Who made it for you? Neil Blackwood? Benchmade?
Pure envy

Congratulations

Nope, it's a custom job by Jeff Carte (also known as The Sun on USN). I will be posting pic's really soon I hope.
The pic's I have so for (those handles are still not finished) are these :

It's a beautiful work!
Did he use a complete original Skirmish and pimped it, or is the handle new?
If the handle is new, is the material titanium, too?

It's an original Skirmish he used. The titanium side as you see on the picture was completely removed and replaced by handmade glass-fibre reinforced two-tone Micarta. The titanium lock-side of the knife will have the same Micarta, but it will be on top of the titanium.
So, it will be sort of a linerlock when he is done I guess.
Hope to post pic's soon so you can see for yourself

Just got the pic's from Nick Rossi (Rossi Knives). He did a regrind and hand-polish on my Mini-Skirmish.

And after :

Received the mini-Skirmish today, so I decided to take some more of it together with the other Skirmishes I have. Also messed around a bit with Photoshop just for fun.

And now for something completely different...
