Ok so I purchased this off of eBay from a seller with good marks. But when I got it today those thumb studs threw me off. I have a 15080-2, and it does not have these thumbstuds, it has the regular Benchmade ones.
Also the bolster is a deeper gray on this one. I have seen a few others on eBay like this.
Fake?
Edit: it did come with box and everything. Box does look a little different from my 15080-2 box, and no born on date. But the barcode on the box does scan as a Benchmade 15080-1.
Edit: Nevermind, after doing more research, it is definitely a fake. They sell these on DHgate, and other Chinese sites. Started a return on eBay.
