Where to get Apparition?

Deezul · Dec 25, 2004

I NEED a Benchmde 670 Apparition. When do these come out as it seems no online retailers have them........

Slvgx · Dec 25, 2004

This might be entirely wrong because I heard a few people post that they had one. I talked with a local Benchmade dealer, and he told me that the Apparition was to be scrapped entirely. He said they had too many problems with it. I know I have read a few posts on here of people who do have one though, so maybe the dealer was incorrect?

No, that was the 780 Osborne. The Apparition is out, however not every dealer has gotten them yet. I don't think they start full production and shipping until around the time of the SHOT show.

and when is that? If any online dealer has them in stock please let me know......It'll be my first Benchmade...

I'm not much of a Benchmade fan, the only one I ever bought was a gift for my wife. I am I must admit very interested in the Aparition, but I'll have to handle one before I buy one. Maybe they'll have them at Blade Show.

Even at Ebay they're a Pre-order.

Yea, I think they just let the 200 or so Prototypes out. I don't think they are in full production yet. Or maybe they are, they just might not be shipping till after the holidays. It technically is a 2005 model and I know a lot of times they don't get released until around SHOT in January.

I have been dying to get one of these. Now I don't care if I ever see one. None of the articles that I have read mentioned faux horn.
Thanks for warning me , before I ordered.
