Old Benchmade ID help

Post by TMD »

Help me ID this old Benchmade
I just got this old Benchmade, I believe it’s from the 90s but can´t find any information about it.
It has aluminum handle, liner lock, blade marked with the butterfly logo and bali-song, clip marked Benchmade USA. Here it is next to my AL Mar SERE 2000.
Any info would be helpful!

sorry for crappy pics.

When I stopped being active in sales, I disposed of my catalogs :( You know more than I do.

Thanks for the fast reply! Ok that’s sad you no longer have any reference catalogs.

Anyone else who knows what Benchmade this is? I have searched the web for hours but can´t find this model, so I guess it’s a early to mid 90s piece, anyone kept an old knife catalog who can help me out?

I often recommend this site on BF for info on autos, so this time I think you have a better shot on BF in the BM collectors section

Al,

When you stopped being in active sales, our community lost a gold standard of ethical sellers.
