I really did try a search on this but nothing came up....I was going to purchase a semi-custom production knife and at the end of the description it said ---Blue Box---

I am totally ignorant of what this means ...any help is appreciated....thanks.
 
I think you are going to have to narrow the field a little here. From what you have said so far, it could mean it comes in a blue cardboard box, a blue anodized aluminum presentation box, includes a free Benchmade blue tool box...

You get the idea.
 
AHHHH !!...OK.....The description says it has a leather sheath and comes in a wood presentation box...I "thought"it might be a quality or country of origin thing...I have seen "Brown Box" on things made off shore...Thought it might be a code for something like that.

I'll try and find the add and post it...thanks :-)
 
OK......I'm officially "Doofus of the Day" or "Weenie of the Week" as the knife in question was a Benchmade Activator Plus+ with Mastadon Handles and came in a wood presentation box but shipped in an Aluminum Blue Benchmade Box.

I'm going to have to have more control over my 'meds'. I don't understand why they would even tell you about it....No other knife companies say..."Dull Gray Box...or Shiny Yellow Box....that's why i thought it was a code of some sort...DUH !!! Please don't put me on the Phucktard page....lol
 
Well doesn't Benchmade utilize a color code to signify "different grades" of knives? I thought blue was one of the higher grades...

ps you can't be phucktard for misreading or not understanding something, although a person could be phucktarded, depending on how they act when they realize their error. :D
 
I think it is nice to know that they use a blue anodized aluminum shipping box to protect the wood presentation box. The description sounds like a Benchmade Gold Class knife, although it is possible that it is Blue class.
 
Heck T-bag, if that is the goofiest thing you ever do here, you are doing alright!
 
GOLD CLASS-Erasing the lines between custom and manufactured, it is a matter of satisfying the ultimate desire. Whether it is embellishing existing designs to loftier heights, creating entirely new ones, or even crafting a one of a kind experience from a collector’s wish list, the Gold class clearly sets the new standard of knife manufacturing.

BLUE CLASS - Staying true to blue, the Blue Class represents the heart of everything that is Benchmade. For years it’s been where people have come to expect greatness.

BLACK CLASS - It represents the most commonly used knives by professionals where life and death situations are often all in a day’s work, so the tools they use must be up to the challenge as well.

RED CLASS - Edged tools with the same Benchmade signature innovation and performance driven mindset, geared for the casual knife buyer.
