Benchmade Mel Pardue 3200 automatic

[Dexter Ewing]

Introducing the "Mini Mel" 3200 auto. Those of you who can recall a few years ago, the 3000 Mel Pardue auto. This basically is a scaled down version of it.

If you are a student of Benchmade history, you may recognize the NEW!! Model 3200 as a blast from the past cousin of the now discontinued Model 3000 from Mel Pardue. The Model 3200 incorpoarates the classic lines of the older Model 3000 but in a smaller, sleeker form. The Mini-Mel fills a void that Benchmade has had every since the stylish Model 3000 went away. For those lucky enough to legally own an automatic knife, the Sleek NEW!! Model 3200 makes that step up to style that not many manufactures can do.
If you are active duty Military or a full time police officer and wish to purchase an automatic knife, please call us at

What is that little "button-like" protrusion on the spine?? A safety??

Yep, that is the sliding switch safety Benchmade uses on all their autos. Very easy to use.
