I recently just bought a Benchmade Mini Stryker, believe this one was made 2000 or 2001. I have a couple concerns and can’t tell if it’s real: 1) on the clip the “Benchmade USA” is smaller than what I’ve seen, 2) on the clip, the 2nd “E” in Benchmade seems waunky, 3) there’s no model number on the front of the blade, underneath the butterfly and usa

Please, anyone that knows more I would highly appreciate input🙏🏻

i have a few older benchmade’s & your description of the clip sounds about right. also they didn’t start putting the model # under the butterfly until i wanna say 2004 or so, tho i could be off by a year or two. was the same time they stopped putting the antenna on the butterfly
 
you got me thinking about it so i pulled out a few older knives to check & took some pictures:

a 910 clip from around ‘97 or ‘98

a 710 clip from ‘99 or ‘00

the logo on the same 710 without model #

IMG_3499.jpeg

and finally the logo from a 710-02 from ‘03 with the model #. still has the antenna though so i was mistaken on that point

You are good. They were not copying these back then. This one looks in very good shape, too!
