What Benchmade do you have on the way?

Finally found a dealer with a HD Hardtail 13100BK still in stock at a reasonable discount price so I ordered it. Would have preferred the silver finish blade but will take what I can get. At least the blade is not serrated. With it's Axis lock combined with a style similar to the Buck 110 I think it is among the best looking knives Benchmade has produced.

Per received Pri Mail tracking number it is on the way and due Friday or Saturday.

Camp perry, 710, 550Bk blade swap into my 551 at the factory, 2750 new steel and engraving at the factory
 
Going too ape! I have a 470-131 Emissary Gold Class Damasteel Axis Assist and a 587-1 Warn D2 steel blade and G-10 scales Mini Barrage Tanto Axis Assist on the way. I found both still in stock at deep discount dealers which surprised me seeing as how they are limited run discontinued knives per the BM web site. I believe that the 470 series is about the lightest and thinnest Axis Assist knife that Benchmade has made.
 
A Warn Barrage 583-1. This is a Tanto blade Barrage with D2 steel blade and G-10 scales. It also has a red backspacer. Decided to get it after receiving the Warn Mini-Barrage which is identical other than size. I like the G-10 scales and D2 steel blades on these versions.
 
I just picked up a Nim Cub II about a week ago, and now have an Adamas 275 on order. I'm really excited about that one.
 
I have a swarm of BM's coming...
a 581 barrage m390
a 950-1 riftt
a volli
a 745 mini dejavoo (NOS)
and a 707LE

kind of lost it last week and ordered the above
 
I decided to get a slim annd light full size BM. Ordered the 940 Osborne this weekend. I personally define a full size folder as one with a blade length over about 3.25 inches. I note that BM seems to refer to their "Mini" folders as those with blades just under 3"
 
- Bradley Alias II black titanium/black PE
- Mini Barrage 585BK-1002

Liked my first Alias II so much I bought another in a different color!
 
The latest, due to ship Monday, is a NOS Benchmade 960-SLV that I found still available from a BM dealer via a web search. It should be a nice lightweight EDC knife and the silver anodized aluminum should show wear much less than a colored anodized grip IMO. Based on the specifications I am sorry that the 960 was discontinued.
 
Continuing my crazy shopping spree, for me at least...I have the REI LE 530 and LE 525 M4 in the mail. I need to stop buying blades. Seriously
 
REI CF Limited Edition 530 on the way to the local store for pickup next week per their estimate. I note that the blade steel is upgraded from the standard 530 knife to S30V. As a REI member since the 1970s I should get 10% back from the purchase cost eventually but I did have to pay local sales tax seeing as how REI has NV stores. Beautiful looking CF scales.
