Show Us Your Discontinued Benchmades

[grybsh7]

Gee, most of what I own are discontinued...

Yeah all the BMs I have left are discontinued now.
I like the looks of the new 781... I'll see what everybody thinks about it and maybe.

I've had it a few days now but just took pictures tonight.

...my Stryker set:

(905)

(910)

End of this post with a 910SCG, only right handed grind Benchmade ever made.:thumbup:

Was the original Stryker an Elishewitz design, Joe?

The 910 Stryker was my second most carried knife. All kinds of awesome. Another standout from BM and Allen Elishewitz.

Here's a chisel ground version I was able to score:

Sure was and been a huge fan of his for a while!!
Love the stuff he's doing with Hogue!
Like this one!!

 

[palonej]

Love that chisel grind pb!!!

 

[jkarp_53]

Yes. All of the early Elishewitz designed Strykers were marked. As happens today, his partnership ended, but the knives remained in production until they were finally discontinued.

Wish I could see you pic's but don't have to, to agree! I've been a big fan of Allen's designs and really like what he's done over at Hogue. The EX-04 is one of my favorite knives. Really like the EX-01 too. Also a big fan of the button lock on these models.

Yeah, Allen makes some great knives!

How about the only Emerson that was actually worthy of what it costed?

These are my first of each, the 710 and little brother 705--two of my favorite models. I've got a few more of both now and will post some more group shots later.

The 710 came to me used, full of gunk, poorly sharpened, and with the backspacer rudely hacked out to keep the blade from hitting. She's been completely disassembled, cleaned, had Gnoleb standoffs installed, and has gone through several stages of re-profiling to get the blade to a nice edge. The blade had some spots of deep discoloration on one side and pits on the other. It's been repeatedly buffed and quenched with FP10 and has a nice luster now, even with a few scratches. She a user and very dear to me.

The Skirmish is another one of my all time favorites! My top three favorites are the AFCK, Rukus, and Skirmish followed by the 910 Stryker. So many of BM's older disco'd knives are real standout's.

Three old ones...
Benchmade 600 Brend Combat
Benchmade 750 Pinnacle
Benchmade Crawford Leopard

 

[jkarp_53]

I own a 750, but the Brend and Crawford always escaped my grasp. Some day...

Here's my TSEK in 440C. This baby has been reground and polished to make it a better slicer and has a wicked sharp edge. The jimping has also been cut through the G10 for a little more grip and the action is very free and smooth. She's a sometime work carry and another favorite.
