The kulgera feels better than the 940 I had due to the sculpted G10 and the super smooth opening. I really like the slim blade as well. Awesome knife.

The mini skirmish is just a really cool looking knife. Not the smoothest framelock, but the design grabbed me and the blade-handle ratio is surprisingly good. Fits great in my hand and cuts well with the recurve blade.

Honorable mention for the 790 Subrosa. Its a great knife, and I would still have mine if I didn't already have 5-6 other framelocks in the exact same 3.6" blade size range. Excellent knife, and the assist was very strong.

Now, we need to compile a list of the top 20 listed within this thread and create a poll (probably multiple choice)!

A big high five on that one Brother. The Benchmade models 640 & 650 Boguszewski Spike models were my absolute favorites out of the Benchmade line up. I've often wondered why they never brought that one back in updated and improved materials. I would be standing in line for it I can assure you.

The model 1000 Boguszewski auto spike was my very first Benchmade knife I ever bought. It wasn't long after that I located the models 640 & 650 and I bought them both. As a matter of fact I've been carrying/EDCing my model 640 for the past 2 weeks and love it. There were a lot of BM models I had over the years but the Spike models do hold a special place in my heart to be sure.
 
Rukus
AFCK (all versions)
910 Stryker
Skirmish

I'll stop now. The list goes on and on lol............

Never owned one but really wish I could find a 425 Gravitator.
 
420 Snody
14205 HK
690BC1-CF
AFCK, (any of them...)
Strykers, (all of them)
790
913

...there's more but that will do.
 
I've had a few, but the ones that are still here are the LFTi and the Mini Rukus
 
AFCK 806 model, plus the TSEK 805.

I just don't understand why these knives were discontinued...

I would also like to see the 800 back in production.
 
AFCK
LFTi
Rukus

Those were the 3 knives I really wanted. I managed to obtain an AFCK...it was taken from me about 5 hours after I got it. And I paid $50 for it in good condition.
 
Just got a LFTi that I really like. After some tinkering I got it very smooth with great lockup. Its probably number 3 out of the 6 or 7 discontinued BM's I've owned. With the Skirmish being number 1.

I'd love to own an 800-1001 and a 630. I do miss my old 910 but the young mall ninja in me has grown past tantos and serrations.

I like the way it looks like a butterfly, alright a dragonfly. :)

Just kidding, that was from a thread I did awhile back when they first came out and everybody wanted to see one taken apart so I took it apart and took pics. I've been a mechanic/machinist for 40 years give or take, there isn't anything I can't take apart and most things I can put back together, eventually. ;)

Did you have any screws or washers left over when you were done? ;)
