What is a Benchmade Monarch

[sunshine]

Hey Fouumites, Can anyone describe a BM Monarch for me. How big, handle and blade material, is it made in more than one size. How long out of production? Does it have a pocket clip. Anything you know about them would be great.Thanks...

They have been out of production for about 2-3 years.

Specs:4 7/8" closed lockback. Sandvik stainless weehawk style blade with ambidextrous thumb lug. Contoured black checkered Zytel handles. Black cocoon web cordura belt sheath. no clip.

Sorry for the poor image quality.

The Monarch in Mikes pic were available in plain edge as well. There are kraton inserts on the handles and comes with a horizontal/ vertical capable nylon belt sheath. Please keep in touch with Mark from MJS Knives as he had some on hand at great prices a while ago.

There were variation(s) on the blade type and opening mechanism as well. One had a blade shape that resembled the CS Warlord sword! It had no thumb disc but rather a nail nick if I recall correctly. Too lazy to look for my old dealer catalogs.
