Inherited a small knife collection.

[Comradecalma]

Hello all I recently inherited a small knife collection from my father and me not knowing what some of these knives are I came across these forums. Maybe someone can help me identify some of these knives in the collection. As far as I know just from reading the knives I have 2 Microtech LUDT's from 1/98 and another Microtech butterfly knife, and the last one is made by Benchmade/ Al Mar number 140. Here are some pics.

You can't ask about value unless you have a paid membership...

The butterfly is a Microtech Tachyon. You should easily get a price range now that you know the name. The Al Mar is a GPA (General Purpose Automatic) made in the mid 90's.

You have two Microtech LUDT's and a Benchmade/Al Mar AFO as far as your folders go.
And your Microtech Balison is a Microtech Tachyon.

Here's an old thread from 2010 on the Benchmade/Al Mar:

The UDT's are interesting, likely small procurement military issue pieces. While large scale procurements still occur, most teams/units order gear tailored to their specific needs. UDT's were the precursors to our modern SEAL teams today.

My buddy has that exact microtech udt. Ive gotten plenty of borrow time with it myself and ill just say that knife will last you forever. A good knife to pass down your family for generations.

While technically a re-branded AFO, they were sold as the Al Mar GPA.
