I was wondering if any one could let me know what the model name is for these Knives, I am trying to get more info, thanks in advance.

I could be mistaken, but I think those are fakes. Admittedly I don't know the knives from Benchmade's early days all that well, and nearly not at all from when they were Pacific Cutlery (which those couldn't be, with the Benchmade labels), I've never seen Benchmade models resembling those. My best guess is that they were made in some nameless Asian factory with a Benchmade logo slapped on to try and sell better.

I though this might be the case as I can not find anything that resembles them anywhere.
They are selling on ebay for about $25.00 bucks
Thanks for the input Mate :thumbup:
 
Evidently, the manufacturer and dealer don't hold themselves to a higher standard. :D
 
We have also noticed the knock-offs that are now rolling in are using "brand names" as a way to further disguise their lack of quality and integrity. A dealer in a fairly close mall was selling cheap imports with the Kershaw brand name on them recently. Quite alarming.

Heck I've been shutting down Kershaw knock off sites and auctions for some time now. Sad.
 
I saw a special on TV about Zippo knockoffs that also use the Zippo logo. Apparently, the Zippo fakes are quite good and hard to tell from the originals. It's a shame that this goes on.

My Benchmade collecting goes back to the Pacific Cutlery days, and I'll say flat out - Benchmade never made either of those patterns. Both knives are fakes.
 
Thomas, I was at a garage sale a couple of weeks ago where a guy was selling Chinese knockoffs of your Leek. :thumbdn: :barf:
