How rare is the Ambush 1st production 2003?

[colubrid]

Just wondering what one is worthy today and how hard are they to find.

I could not find any history for any on the exchange.

It is a big aluminum handle BM and a long blade..pretty cool but never knew existed.

They weren't made for very long so I think most of them were marked "First Production." The Ambush was one of the Chinese made red class knives. The last couple I've seen for sale were in the $50-60 range.

The Model 10200 was in the 2006 catalog. Designed by Mel Pardue it had a big blade at 3.94" and the steel was AUS-8. It carried full 420J liners and thick cast aluminum scales. I don't think the locking mechanism called the 'Rolling Lock with Indraft' was used in any other model, and it was gone by the 2008 catalog. On value, I dunno, maybe $50 or so. Hope this helps!

Here's a mini ambush that sold here back in November. If you search the forum for Benchmade Ambush there are quite a few links that come up.
