Show Us Your Discontinued Benchmades

Well I guess I'm only interested in acquiring old and discontinued Benchmades now. My Lurch Subrosa was amazing should of kept it. I can't wait to get a couple 710's.

I saw you lurking the other day, man, and wondered when you'd splash down with some pics. I'm glad you hung onto this bunch--they're exceptionally fine!
 
I still have my well used Sentinel but was never able to find (at a decent price) a Dark Star. Another couple of great old school knives designed by Allen!

The Dejavoo is a Bob Lum classic. Some fantastic knives you have there!

Oh, can't forget the Ascent. Another favorite from the early days...

Edited to add:

You have some real gems there. Some knives fall threw the cracks and never get the recognition or popularity they deserve. Then you discover one and wonder, how'd this one get by me. I have several like that. The Snody designs being top among them in my case.

Like I've said before, great collection you have there! This thread is a real trip down memory lane...

Thanks guys, I love seeing all the old ones too just to see where Benchmade came from. Those Elishewitz models really are nice knives, if they were adaptable to tip up carry, I'd definitely put one in the edc rotation. Still fine knives though with the titanium liners and all. That Panther model is one that really impresses me by how smooth the action is and how nicely it locks up. The handle is pretty plain jane, but for the $40-$50 MSRP these used to be, it's an amazing knife. I've got 2 of those Ascents so I need to put one of them to use to try out that coveted M2 steel, just haven't got around to it yet. I've still got a few other DCed models I'll try to get a few more pics up in the next couple days.
