Benchmade Axe?

Did benchmade make an axe ever? or tomohawk?

I believe the axe was the Viking Raider.

Actually the Viking Raider was a Blackjack product. The BM was the Axcalibur

Thought for a bit that it was Bill. But I associated the Viking "RAIDER" with BMs Delta RAIDER. But Axcalibur it is!

From what I understand they are fairly rare and unique.

I have had one since 1997 it has never cut anything except the hair on my arm. Does anybody know what they are worth?

Any chance of getting pics? I'd never even heard of it until this thread, I'm curious to see one.

Now Bill can correct me here (again!

) if I am mistaken. I think the Axecalibur was a Jody Sampson design which can put a slightly higher value on this model since it is associated with a popular maker.

I got this one on fleabay for $180 a while back. I haven't seen one since. Yes, it is a Samson design.

Wow those bad boys are from the era of Monarchs, Panthers, Tsunamis, Talons, Kodiak's, a bunch of cast handled Bali's, and a fixed blade Brend design with the same handle as the axe that I can't remember the name of.
These are my earliest memories of B.M. early 90's, I'm thinking.
Old school BenchMade gotta like it.
