Benchmade Exclusive Thoughts?

I posted about a 950 with M390 in the Benchmade forum to try and gain interest just in the last couple weeks and I wasn't the only one liking the idea :)

Like I said there, I would buy at least 3 no questions asked (assuming reasonable prices and not MAPP pricing @ 15% off MSRP). The less writing on the blade the better and a satin finish would sell best. I would expect them to go around $150 as a fair price which is what the M4 went for as well as the M4 grips.
 
I'd like to add to the votes for a G10 Griptilian in Elmax. I'd buy one immediately to replace my stepdad's old Griptilian he uses as an EMT. Then I'd find another excuse to buy another. Griptilians sell in large numbers & you'd have all the Benchmade & Griptilian guys buying them up like they do the with the excellent Ritter Grips.
 
Im going to go a little crazy here...
How bout a 940 in M390 with grey-silver handle scales and a green backspacer. As was stated earlier, a new 940 variation is long overdue. It is a timeless benchmade model and I'm sure it would sell well.

I'd also be game for one of those Rifts!
 
I could use an anodized Titanium handled 943 with a CPM S-90-V blade. 92 grams of hard work hardware.
 
My vote is for a 551 Griptilian with coyote brown or olive drab G10 scales. I don't really care a whole lot about what blade steel is used so long as it isn't very brittle.
 
M390 760 LFTi would be tits, but the pocket clip has got to go and it NEEDS an ambi thumb stud. There's really no need to have ~ 1 inch of knife sticking out of the pocket
 
In my earlier ramblings, I left my 'wants' off! I'd love to have a 760 without a Tanto blade. Even simpler, how about a 790 Subrosa without the assisted open feature? I have both knives now - certainly, M390 variants would also be nice - although I am still happy with S30V.

Another dream has come true - a 'Gent's knife', a la the 480 Shoki, but with improvements. How about M390 and c-f scales? Yep - the 480-1. Rumor has it that my wife has me one, now hidden, for my hatchday celebration this month. I am blessed.

My vote would be a 530 in M390 and g-10 with a lowrider clip like on the 470. Id buy a few without a doubt.
Second would be 94x In M390, same aluminum handles but a different color.
Tie for second would also be a 890 torrent unnassisted and in M390.
Third would be a you guessed it.... M390 mini grip in orange or toxic green G-10.
 
I'd like the MPR with a different steel, but mostly a different G10 color. I don't like OD/Ranger green. Orange or Black would be cool.
 
A Rift in M390 would be nice, but no CF. Make it a working man's user, no lipstick and makeup. I'd also be happy with a Grip / mini-Grip in G10 or micarta and something like M390, S90V, or one of the higher end Carpenter steels.
 
:thumbup: A Thumbs Up for a BM 950 CF M390

Maybe a Green/Black G10 (BM15020-1)Bone Collector with thumbstuds and a satin M390 Blade.

Another, A 551 Grip with just a M390,maybe with a CF handle.
 
my vote is for a 705/707 in cts 20cp first choice then m390 or elmax if not, maybe some dark yellow g10!!! thanks

I had completely forgotten about this until it got bumped yesterday. Any updates from the Recon1 guys?
