I recently did a trade and picked up these vintage BM's/PC's but I'm not really sure what models they are. I know the bottom one is a Jody Sampson ground, the one above that looks like a folding PC boot knife and the top two I've got no idea at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

#1 is the Benchmade "Grasshopper" (can't remember the model number). It was the predecessor to the Panther. It didn't work too well so few made it to market.
#2 is the Benchmade Tsunami as stated
#3 is an early Pacific Cutlery version of the Monarch. Later variants kept the nickle-silver bolster but had a kraton handle scale instead of wood.
#4 is an early Pacific Cultery version of a Samson hunter

Agreed...all of these are prizes. The first was before my time, the Tsunami (I've owned two of 'em) was Benchmade's first true tanto (style) blade shape, unlike the American(ized) Stryker 910. And the PCC models look really great. Congrats! :thumbup:
