What is your favorite Benchmade?

This has to be my favorite.. I modified the scales and pocket clip .. I want a auto 6150 to do this too.. That would be the only step up I could think of..

My favorite Benchmade knife is the Benchmade Switchback 923 folding knife. It has a blade of S30V steel and a secondary blade (2" long) made of 440C stainless steel. I love the 2 blade design of the switchbacks. The blade is very sharp, has a very nice handle, and can be used in several situations. It also has the traditional Axis lock, which is my favorite type of lock. The all black finish along with the awesome 'Modified Reverse Tanto styled' blade makes this knife my favorite knife due to its unique design.
Unfortunately I no longer have this particular knife. I had lots of trouble now trying to find this knife online since it is now discontinued.

There, however, is a very similar knife, in fact, almost exact knife made by Benchmade and Taurus. Instead of the S30V steel, it has a 154CM blade. The secondary blade is silver instead of black. But everything else is pretty much the same thing. This knife is my favorite knife I own, and I do recommend it to you. I've heard that Taurus only produced 1000 of these knives and is now discontinued, so they are very rare.
The price however is quite expensive. It retails for about $200.
Check out this knife if you are willing to pay that much for it.

The pictures below are of the switchback I own.

The early AFCK I sold! I shouldn't have done that. I don't like the more recent ones.
 
My small org AFCK.

Thought I had a pic of it, but I must have erased it.

I also love the 210TK, and the reg Nim.

I tried to get excited over that new 960 - just couldn't warm up to the Kemosabe blade. I only have a 201 Activator+ as a fb - and my 440C 550 Grip - both delivered new so dull that heat was needed to cut butter. They are sharp now - and nice enough. My wife, however, shocked me last Tuesday with the new 635BK min-Skirmish I had been drooling over at a local store. Keeper - her and the knife!

I love S30V - and this thing is a razor. Great knife - why'd they drop it? I like it so much, I have just paid for a LNIB 630 regular Skirmish - my fourth BM!

930 Kulgera, I have been edcing it for almost a year, I rotate it out now and then but it always finds its way back to me.
 
That's a tought one kids. My first Benchmade was a Pardue 3550BK auto and I never looked back...it started my whole knife collecting craze...so it will always hold a special place in my collection...but...if I had to choose a favorite...it would be the Gold Class Morpho 32. I use the Nimravus Cub more than any...but the Morpho with the Gold Class touch is just a gorgeous blade...
