Awesome idea Justin, Your hustle is legit. Very cool mod for those not into glass breakers.

Bro you’re super talented and your ability to explain step by step has me clinging to every word. Great job🤙🏽

Pretty cool hustle..talented skillset you have.

Very nice - the black looks especially nice to me. Ordered.

Thank you so much!! Got mine cleaned up and lubed and it’s SPICY now!!!!

Love the mod. It was fairly easy to install with your instructions. Thanks!

I finally scored a Shootout and received it in the mail yesterday. It feels really good in the hand and love how lightweight it is for an otf.

Thank you so much. I live in Massachusetts so I can own but not carry this knife. I was unable to sent it back to Benchmade to put it back together. You saved me thanks!

Awesome thanks for video gotta pick up a shootout

Just got your glassbreaker delete today. I got it installed with no problems. Its a really well made part. Thank you and have a great day!! 👍

Great to hear! I'm glad you like it, thanks for watching and the support!

Thanks so much for the video, never would have got my knife back together without this advice from this video. I like the glass breaker, but mine had gotten so dirty it would not open anymore. Cleaned all the internal parts and thanks to the video about putting it back together I have my knife functioning again. Thanks Again.

Just orderd 2, of them, regards from Croatia

Thanks for the video

Well done, I hope they do a drop point.

That is really cool you did this man. I have no idea why Benchmade insists in putting the eyesore of glass breaker on there knives. Honestly if someone is in that type of situation where they need a glass breaker there just gonna throw the whole damn knife through the glass. 😆

I had heard this disassembly was hard but I'm not seeing it in here. Great video.

Cool video

Awesome, i need 1, to replace the glaasbreaker

I love that otf, but Hate the glaasbreaker, your replacement part is perfect, i would love to buy, 2 of them from you

I like it...however the glass breaker was a selling point for me personally. looks good and if I ever decide to ditch it know where to go.

I will follow you, step by step, to replace it👍👍

Would be awesome to have a lanyard loop on one!

Great mod, you should make another one with a little lanyard hole for that gang.

Thanks for watching. I’ll look into that.

This is my second comment. I can't thank you enough for posting this no nonsense how to video. I must have bwatched it a dozen or more times. Because of this video, I was able to get mine apart and back together a few times now. I was able to remove my glass breaker and replace it with a homemade lanyard hole. It worked out ok but left me with much respect and admiration for the job you did in designing your plug. Mine is nowhere near as intricate. Plus, I had to grind down the back of the blade carriage just a tiny bit to make room for my part. I made a skeleton of stainless steel wire mesh and sonme ss wire and hand formed the rest with JB WELD steel stick epoxy putty, which could be a perfect color to match, depending on the ratio it's mixed at. Something I noticed while learning how to reassemble mine is that it goes together much easier if you lay the blade side of the handle on its back and lower the spring assembly half of the handle down onto the knife half. I was not so successful on my first couple attempts at reassembly. My grease wasn't sticky enough to hold those little dog springs in place so I cheated a little and applied a tiny amount of CA glue (super/crazy glue) in those little spring pockets. That worked better than I thought and didn't affect the functionality of the knife at all. I think next I'll mess with those little dog springs.. they look like the same diameter as those springs in Bic lighters that keep the flint in positive contact with the striker wheel. Lighter dog Springs will make it open easier, wouldn't it? But too light of a spring will make it not open at all probably right cuz not enough pressure will build up before they release or something like that. Anyway, thanks again. I'll keep you posted on any new discoveries.

I’m so glad this video helped you out. I love to hear about people making their own mods! Let me know how the springs workout. It’s been a long time since I’ve handled a big lighter spring, but I would guess that it would be a bit heavier tension than the stock shootout dog springs. But, I’m just guessing. Thanks again for watching the kind words!

This is an awesome idea! You might have mentioned this somewhere else, but what do you use for a 3d printer to make these spacers/glass breaker deletes? They seem like they are really good quality.

Great video! Will you be restocking the carbon fiber version of the GBD anytime soon? Thanks!

Nice work! Have you considered making one with a pocket for a tritium tube? Or maybe some glow in the dark plastics.

You should make a less sharp and steeper ramped actuation switch for the microtech ultratech.

Would you recomend, blue lock tight, on those screws?

thoughts on making the grip metal? is there already one made?

Would it be possible to make some natural jade g10 or some micarta scales for it?

To replace, you just need to take off the side with the blade?

Do you know if these work with the version with the pommel?

What is the size of those springs and are there and alternative to the factory springs,

Good dissasembly vid, I still managed to lose aone of the tiny springs, does anyone know where I can get one (without jumping through benchmade's ship it to a dealer circus)?

You need to send this vid to metalcomplex

What do you do when you launch that spring into orbit? Asking for a friend.

Just ordered the fde color way the dam glass breaker ripped my seat when I hopped in the truck .

Your mod made this knife. I want one, but your version.

I'm actually looking for the glass breaker piece replacement. Does anyone know where I can get one of if they have one for sale? Thank you.

Make some metal scales!

The new colors of shootout don't have that same glass breaker

My Shootout has a longer pocket clip. Is yours aftermarket, or did Benchmade change it at some point?

This video is a year old, so I decided to look through the comments to see if this question had been addressed yet. It has not. I really want that little clip. I can’t find anything about it from benchmade, so I think I might just have to modify the one that I have. Should be really easy, but only because I have the means to do it. I know it wouldn’t be super easy for everybody without the tools or know how.

Hello does the glass breaker delete part also work with the pommel ?

Ya...I was wondering the same it looks like it should did you pick one up?

The blank out, I don’t understand why anyone would want to get rid of such a great glass breaker. The day after you put that blank in is the day your going to to need that shit to save your life of someone else’s. So I wouldn’t suggest doing this unless you have a dedicated glass breaker in your EDC.. just my two cents

Nah you'll practically never need a glass breaker. But you'll feel that dumb glass breaker every single time you go to draw the knife. I got this shootout and returned it immediately because of how irritating the glass breaker is. I went for the model without

Yes, this is the mini deep carry clip from Benchmade. Thanks for watching!

Great idea, great execution. What do you think about including a lanyard hole in your part somehow? I like the mini pocket clip too. That's an option that I hadn't thought of. I noticed that the pocket clip it comes with can get a bit uncomfortable when you really have to bear down on your grip for some reason. Before I saw your videos today, I was thinking about removing my glass breaker, coating all the mating surfaces with grease and filling the void with some JB Weld 2 part epoxy putty. The grease will keep the epoxy from adhering to the knife. Oh. ..and what if I try to swap out my glass breaker and I can't get it back together? Can I send you all the parts and the $35? Will you put it back together?

@@OCD4EDC where can i get a mini deep pocket clip? Im thinking i can modify the one it came with, but really, I'd prefer a lanyard hole and no clip. ...a little monkey's fist at the end of the lanyard will make the knife as accessible without the knife playing gate keeper on my dominant pocket. Lol What are you calling your part? ..a delete? I wonder if you can drill diagonally from two positions, towards each other to make a lanyard hole?

Cool mod but the glass breaker is a good feature to have. Why remove it? You gain nothing from removing it except losing a function of the knife. Also, $35 installation. Ooof.

Cool idea. No offense, but this is a knife designed for duty use. Not the blob in his lazy boy that bought this because he thinks a pokey knife that goes erect is cool. Ill keep the glass breaker for the off chance I need to bust out a window. Ive done in numerous times with other similar style knives.

This is more for knife esthetics than anything, let’s be honest. Most of this is pocket jewelry anyway. As for the glass breaking, I’ve done it many times as well. Never in an actual emergency though. I know 30+ year cops & fireman that have never needed a glass breaker either. I think it’s a pretty safe bet to say these types of things on knives are just a marketing gimmick. Fantasy mall ninja stuff. Thanks for watching!
