good deal benchmade 477 or 477-1

[Jamie in WV]

First post...I collect many knives and just wanted others to get what I feel is a good deal, I could not find this knife anywhere for under $195 but cabelas has it on sale for $139, sounds like a good deal to me.
I bought the 477-1

Jamie,

Thanks for the tip. I'm relatively new here but do own a Benchmade 940 I bought last year. Seems like a really good deal to me.

Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy your stay.
However your post I believe is what is called deal spotting and against the rules. Only paid dealers are allowed to advertise. I know you were doing it with the best of intentions, but that is the rule.

1. "No Deal Spotting
2. BladeForums.com stays open due to paid subscriptions from various member groups, including Dealers who help sponsor this site. A dealer who does not have a paid subscription is not allowed to advertise in any way, shape, or form. In the past, dealers have used 'shill' accounts to promote themselves & their products; as a result we've limited all dealer advertising to The Exchange or registered Dealers with active paid subscriptions."

Just to let you know-I have no authority here

Indeed these are good deals. Wonder why cabeles can sell them well below the MAP. Is Benchmade discontinuing the 477?
