? sugg. $ on forthcoming BM push-dagger?

[diamdave]

Anyone have an idea of what the suggested retail might be for the forthcoming Benchmade pushdagger? Also, availability?

Can you please tell me where you get the info about BM making pushdagger ? I never heard of it, but it really sounds interesting !

I believe I caught a glimmer of it on the "what's new?" forum posted by Dexter Ewing.

I remember hearing that they were going to re-issue the old Kuma Zume. I think it was going to be the same design but in a different steel. (The originals were chromed A2.)

Actually the new one is quite different from the older Kuma Zume piece. It is a double edge spear point chisel ground with a skeletonized handle in 440C. I don't have a picture at hand, but I'll search around and see if I can find it. I believe the retail is planned to be just shy of the $100 mark. I got to play with one of them at Blade and it was a pretty cool little piece. Looks to be effective for its intended purpose, but will be obviously marketed mainly to the LEO/Military market. Availability when I talked to them at Blade was most likely early next year, but that's been a while ago so it may have changed.
