Benchmade 960 Limited Edition HELP

[leviathan802]

I am looking for a little information on a knife that was given to me.

It is a Benchmade 960 with a partially serrated blade. It is D2 with "Limited Edition #5 of 50" written on the blade.

The handle is silver and blue. I have been unable to find any information about the knife on the web. I would post pics, but I am not allowed to post attachments.

Any info would be great.

You can use photobucket or something to host your images and then link them here.

What do you want to know about the knife? It uses 154CM, I believe, whilst the original (non-LE) versions use D2. And the handle looks different. I don't know what else is different.

Here are some pics of the knife.

Found one that seems very like it... it's 22/50. Blue looks a little bit different.

This seems to be close. You are right though that the blue does seem different. It is strange that with all of the 960s floating around, I have yet to see this knife anywhere.

Oh, dang. That's much different from the 960LEs I've seen.

This is the one I've seen, with a 154CM handle:

There are sometimes limited runs for dealers, etc. that are never part of Benchmade's catalog items, or showcased on their website. Actually I don't know who the runs are for, since I've seen a couple of unique BMs at a local gunshop who I know didn't special order them-they probably got brought in by a rep and added to the order.
