Benchmade Pika in g10,Discontinued???

[lonestar1979]

I remember long time ago handling Benchmade Pika in g10 and made in USA,at my local dealer,and it was really nice knife and design that I really like.The new one made in China is something else.Is there any chance of Benchmade bringing this knife back?This knife would beat many knives in its class in my opinion!any info on this knife welcome!How is this new Pika,I like design,but would like g10 and maybe d2,ors30v.

The G10 "Pika" was probably and old AFCK.

New one made in China???
The Pika was a cheaper version of the AFCK with FRN (plastic) handles as K Williams said, not sure when the Pika was discontinued, and I didn't know that they made a Pika II in China, but as far as I can tell that is discontinued as well.

Long discontinued in the Red Class offering, I don't see it coming back. The Pika and Vex were standouts for the line, but with patience and keeping your eyes open, they might be on the 'Bay and right here on Blade. (Just checked, there are a handful online...seek and ye shall find. Good luck!)

I highly recommend the G-10 Pika with 9CR13 which blows away all the mediocre Kershaw 8CR13.They can still be had at a certain dealer for $53.95.If you as me is an amazing value
