What is this Knife?

[bigbre]

Hey I recently purchased this knife from someone along with an osborne. It looks like a pardue 3550 auto but its not. It has FRN style handles and a liner lock that is fairly hard to actuate. I was wondering if anyone knows what it is. I dont think that its a fake, its probably an older version by pardue. can anyone help me out? I really like it alot. If anyone has any info on it i would appreciate it.

Thanks,

-Alex

It looks like a BM 350. It's the non auto version of the 3550. It's discontinued now.

Yep, BM 350. I have one from maybe about 2000 0r late 80's.

Benchmade 350 Mel Pardue. I bought one at Blade Runner in town about 10 years ago. I carried it for a while then let the girlfriend keep it in her purse. Never got the knife back, don't miss the gf but I do miss the knife.

Looks like you got your answer already, BM 350, the non auto version of the 3550
