Saw this in a magazine today, but can't find any further info anywhere, including Benchmade site.
I didn't think my Google-fu was this bad...

That's a great looking knife. Too bad it wasn't a ball-bearing with Axis lock!
 
I have got to ask my local knife shop, if they can pre order this bad boy. I'm a sucker for a titanium frame lock.
 
So it's basically a large Sebenza. Would it have killed them to drill a couple of more pocket clip holes to allow for tip-up carry?
 
Looks very nice. Titanium FrameLock with M390. Street price of around $400!

- Thanks for the additional pictures. Unfortunately, tip down is a deal break for me. :mad:

I used to be the same way. Till I found the knife that changed my mind. This may be the one for you.

I still prefer tip up, no longer a deal breaker though.


That is a pretty slick knife. Benchmade does Ti framelocks right.

Why would they have a magazine ad without putting any information on their site? That is strange.
Nice looking knife though.
 
Benchmade hasn't really come out with anything that interested me since I've been paying attention. This looks very interesting.

Why in the world would you need ball bearings on an axis lock? It's already one of the smoothest locking mechanisms out there.

- You don't. But I'm all for more bells and whistles.

- I got spiked when I reached into my pocket when carrying a Benchmade Aphid. It would have to be an incredible knife for me to change my mind on tip down. Even then, I would have someone tap it for tip up carry.
 
Just scored a new job. If I can afford one of these this will be my present to myself! Mind you there's no info on these anywhere...hope this knife is real!
 
I don't recall seeing any Benchmade liner-locks or frame-locks with a tip-up pocket clip.

And that is how they have done it since the mid-1990s.

This looks really nice, definitely all premium materials.

I am very interested to see what the pricing on these will be. Lamnia has it listed at $380.00 and I get the feeling that is the street price. I hope Im wrong.

$380-$400 seems excessive considering the MPR with titanium FrameLock and M390 has a street price of $212.50!
