Bali-Song Bushmaster model 760

[Bigsmegma]

I have a Bali-Song Bushmaster model 760.
It's a Kukri style blade about 10" long with a rubber grip and has a sheath made of kydex.
The blade has the original Bali-Song logo on one side and the name "Bushmaster model 760" with the drawing of a snakehead ready to strike on the other.
Can anyone provide more info on this knife?
I've done a Google search and other searches and can't find any info, history, original cost, etc.
I'd like to know production date, original cost, when it was taken from the market, and if there are any online web sites about this knife.
Thanks

Actually, this doesn't belong in the balisong forum, he's talking about a large fixed blade made by the both the Pacific Cutlery Corp (pre-benchmade) and the early benchmade knives company. (when they just had balisong in their logo).

That is cool. Looks like there's at least a bit of Samson in that blade too.

DrFish can you email me the photo?
Any idea on the cost and the original date of release?
Any web sites with more info?
Thanks,

That knife was designed by David Steele. It was made by Pacific Cutlery Corp. and then by Benchmade.
I found most of my info by browsing these two web pages catalog info.

You'll find dates and info, although incomplete.

I own a PCC Bushmaster and a Benchmade Bushmater....OH, and a Bushmaster-Bushmaster!
