Found in the bush

What's so weird about that is how those time holes occasionally put a swallowed up object back in a different place than where they swallowed it. Happened to me on Monday with one of those old fashioned motel keys that actually go in a door knob. Farging bastages put it at the service desk of a grocery store where I'd been about an hour earlier.

That's actually covered in that article as well... 😂

From what I see there are at least two authentic versions of the BM Auto Spike with safety, one is a basic/plain version (model 1000S-1301SW), and the other is the Gold Class version (model 10000-101). There are many authentic versions of the BM Auto Spike, so there might be more versions with a safety.

Any chance you are willing to post link to ANY BM-1000 with manual safety as referenced. I searched around and could not find, my comments related to possible version with manual safety were going from only my memory (possibly confusing the manual safety on the Auto-Stryker. The two in your picture (Post #30) do not illustrate a safety. As a reference, the wood chop-stick is pointing to BM manual safety switch example on the Auto Stryker in Post #23 above. I looked up the two model numbers you referenced and read some text related to "integrated safety", however the photo did not illustrate BM Safety Switch on that knife (assume the text reference "integrated safety" most likely relates to the button-lock).
Thx,

BladeHQ had them. Looks like it was a limited edition, only 60 made. Now that's what I call "limited".

The sales listing is still on BladeHQ.

The knives in the picture I posted in post #30 are pure counterfeits. I posted the pic (lifted from a site notorious for counterfeits) to show people that nowadays the fakes look very convincing, right down to the inclusion of fake paperwork. I can only wonder how many of those fakes are being sold at gun shows, etc, as the real thing to unsuspecting buyers.
 
killgar,
Any chance you can share that link ??
I really want to actually see an example, to prove to myself my recollection that BM actually produced a BM-1000 with safety-lock is valid.
Thanks,

They don't show a pic of the back of the knife, the safety is mentioned in the description. So there won't be visible proof from that source.

I'm not home right now, using my phone, and it would be to much effort for me to attempt posting a link, plus I don't know if BladeHQ is still a sponsor, and posting a link would be against the rules if they aren't.

But if you go to BladeHQ and do a search for "Auto Spike" the listing is there, that's how I found it.

My Grandfather was hunting in the woods (I think about 15-20 years ago) and found a WWII era Cattaraugus 225Q!
Unfortunately he passed a few years ago. it is a cherished heirloom now!
If y’all want I can post pictures tomorrow.

My condolences on the passing of your grandfather.

Sounds like what I posted in Post#44 above ...
"I looked up the two model numbers you referenced and read some text related to "integrated safety", however the photo did not illustrate BM Safety Switch on that knife (assume the text reference "integrated safety" most likely relates to the button-lock)."

Do not believe that to be a safety-lock (as previously mentioned.

BladeHQ is still a sponsor- https://www.bladehq.com/item--Benchmade-Auto-Spike-Automatic--18949

The description says "a sliding safety switch".

But I've never held one in my hand, so all I can go by is the description I read on a reliable vendor website.

EDIT: Heck, I just noticed they have a video attached to that listing that shows the knife (PE version) with the sliding safety switch. Looks like there were 150 of the plain edge version, with safety.

THANK YOU !
You confirmed my recollection there was actually a slide-safety version similar to what I saw on the "found" knife. It appears maybe the blade release/lock button has milled concentric circles (possibly a tell for this version with the manual slide-safety).

Found a Gerber Covert in it's sheath while hunting in a forest. Gifted it to an old friend.

Found a 12 inch Tramontina machete stuck to a tree. Fell in love and still use it.

Found a military folding shovel buried in sand at the beach. Cleaned it up, oiled it, and it still resides in my vehicle recovery kit.

Got to love the Tramontina...
I bought one for a few dollars... they gave me two.

Maybe I should go stick it in a tree to pass it forward 😂
