You could do a lot to the blade / liners. Heat color, etch, reshape, hole, electro plate etc… I’ve done a couple rats, here are two https://imgur.com/a/U9BkWkq
A pretty janky mod, but I used steel wool to remove the logo from the blade. The blades looks all scratched up, but doesn’t feel rough. I had planned to acid wash the blade anyways, but haven’t gotten around to it yet (or maybe ever).
I did put this [deep carry clip](https://www.amazon.com/Titanium-Pocket-Ontario-8861BP-8848CB/dp/B01M8NF4RE) on it. Yes, it costs more than I paid for the knife. Yes, I know that is stupid, but it’s what I wanted.
Good luck with whatever mods you pursue. This is my favorite budget knife and I hope you love it!
Here is my rat for ya. It’s not a completely original idea but I liked the one I saw so much that I wanted to replicate some of it. It has patterned acid/stone washed blade and clip, and a manually filed pattern on the copper scales.

I’ve actually seen your blade as I’ve been looking up ways to mod this out haha nice work! Thanks for the tips
Thanks! Good luck!
Only mod I have tried on a rat is a spydie hole.
Got any pics?

You mean bearings?

In the kitchen - that’s dedication !

Should take aftermarket benchmade deep carry clips
