I have this rare prototype Benchmade 9050 AFO with an unfinished handle. Benchmade never added the matte finish and black coating. This is a TRUE internal prototype, not a numbered edition prototype for collectors. I live near Benchmade and they viewed this knife in person and confirmed the above. The handle condition is rough and unfinished as shown, with all the machining marks visible. The blade is mint unused and simply marked PROTOTYPE. They felt this could have been a model for the new safety switch. At any rate, I am offering this rarity and about what a regular production version costs... $200. Paypal only, CONUS Free shgipping. Good luck
