Discontinued for 2018?

[Chariotz4]

I was on the Benchmade site the other day and couldn't find the page for the 482 Megumi. It got me thinking, I've seen lists for the knives that other manufacturers are discontinuing for 2018, but nothing on what Benchmade plans to let go (this was even after a little bit of internet sleuthing). I was wondering if

A) the 482 has been discontinued and
B) if there is a definitive list somewhere of the discontinued Benchmade models/ models Benchmade plans to discontinue in 2018

Info on either would greatly benefit me (and probably just about everyone else, unless I just happen to be the last to know, which is often the case).

I dunno if it's good or bad. I've owned many of these, the 890 probably the best of the crowd. Thanks for the link BMC! The longest run of the bunch, I think, is the 530, which was my first Benchmade back in 2006. But I like the 531-1 even more in its upgraded version. Cheers!

Yeah, I figured it had probably come up already at some point, I just couldn't manage to find the list. Much appreciated!

I'm not too sad about the 530. The Bugout is a much better ultra-lightweight knife than the 530 ever was.

I do like the 531 though.
