BM 910 Question

[Tracker81]

I recently bought a BM 910 Stryker and noticed that it has a few minor differences from another Stryker that I had purchased a few years ago. First of all the logo reads as Balisong as opposed to Benchmade, and unlike most BM's I've owned instead of listing the knifes model number under the logo, Benchmade USA is written instead.

Furthermore on the spine area there is only one metal stopper as opposed to two on my previously purchased 910. I'm wondering if anyone else here has seen a BM like this before and if possible could you tell me what steel was used in its manufacturing? Thanks!

The older Benchmade knives had the word "Balisong" within the butterfly logo. These knives were made with ATS 34 steel.

Current production Benchmade knives now have BENCHMADE running across the logo. Most of the current crop of Benchmade knives are made with 154 CM, while some other models, or limited editions come in M2, D2, S30V or H2.

Thank you for the response. The strange thing in my opinion about this knife is how its a bit of a time capsule. Its in perfect condition but has the noticeable markings denoting its manufacture in another decade.

Thanks again for the info!
