I've been looking for this knife for almost 8 years. I've never even seen pictures of one on the net till now.(though I'm sure they exist.) My buddy happen to have it and sell it to me. Its # 49 of 50. Just curious if anyone knows what its worth or if anyone here has one as well.

hmmm...I was trying to put the pictures directly in the post but I guess I'm doing it wrong.
 
Lets try something:

There's one. :)
I have seen one, but it was a long time ago. I use to have a nice blue handled one, I think it was a "Knife of the Month" from Benchmade. I have always liked the 940, and have carried one, but I would try to open it and miss the thumbstuds; To use to Spydie holes. :)
Here are the other pics:

Hope you don't mind me reposting your pics.

Thanks gentlemen. You guys rock.

lol.I have the same problem with spydie holes. Too used to thumbstuds.
 
All I can tell you is that Benchmade did several of those runs. I have a 921 Switchback that is one of fifty (I don't remember offhand what number it is) with a black blade and purple anodized handle. It sold new for about ten bucks more than a standard blue or black 921. There were several colors in each of the models they did them on. I've seen 921s, 940s, 941s and I think 943s with different color handles and black blades, all fifty piece runs.
 
I bought one just like that, but PE # 43/50 about a month ago, I think I paid 140. Someone was blowing out a huge 940 collection, and I swooped on it. =)
 
Interesting to learn a little history on this thing. I'm surprised that new they only sell for an extra 10 bucks. I saw one sell for 240+ once. I got this one off my buddy at an awesome price. $80. He used to be a BM distributer so he got them real cheap.
