Benchmade AFCK question

Thanks for the kind words, Cutter17
here some pics I snapped year ago
from what I heard, the maker stopped to make them (feels uncomfortable copying someone else's design)

I'm looking for a something that compares to the AFCK. I don't have a lot of experience with other Benchmade knives, so I'm not sure what to look for (even another brand). I've handled a friend's AFCK and loved it. But even finding a used one these days can be quite expensive.

Any recommendations? Or should I just drop the cash for the AFCK?

And I have heard how popular this knife was, so why was it discontinued?

as far as why it was disco'd, i dont think it was selling that well at the time, right after they disco'd them ya could get one from new graham for IIRC $59.95 which was imho a lotta knife for $60, then, when disco'd, every one had to have one lol, and they are pretty popular now, but the demand was nothing compared to when they disco'd the axis AFCK, those now demand a pretty good premium.
