Does Benchmade Have a Current Model Similar to an Ares?

This was one of my most useful knives. I gave it to my brother when he went into the Army. Is there anything currently available similar to that older model?

I am going out on a limb here. Way out, I know. Perhaps the Mediator?

Benchmade Mediator AUTO Folding Knife 3.30" S90V Black Cerakote Plain Blade, Milled Black G10 Handles - 8551BK:

That’s interesting. I’ve never had an auto before. I was looking at the auto Presidio on the website. It’s a close blade shape.

How about the Stryker II? Similar size and blade grind. I like the KSF M4 exclusive myself.

Oops, my bad, for some reason I thought the Ares was an auto. I know better now; nice knife for sure:

I agree with abbazaba that the 908 is probably the closest in overall look/design, though the Ares is slightly sexier with its slimmer lines. The Strykers are more recently discontinued than the Ares, but they’ve been pretty hard to find lately.
