Web site with all Benchmade Models
I think it would be great if there were a web site listing every Benchmade model, with photos and current status (in production, discontinued). It see photos of knives on Facebook, eBay, various vendor sites, etc. but I'm not aware of any one place that lists every model and variation Benchmade has ever produced.
I'm probably asking for something that's impossible, even if someone had the resources to put it together. Wishful thinking

I think Corey is working on it. No easy task I'm sure. 0 -
Yea it takes a little while to dig everything up and get it organized. I'm working on the AFCK TSEK lineup right now. 0 -
I think until 2 years ago, majority of older model was on Benchmade site. I have been searching on web archive page, but there is a limit, it archived only top page of catalog.
Either that or dig out from pdf copy of old paper catalog to fill the gap.
Thanks Corey for listing of AFCKs0 -
Even with having the actual catalogs in hand that won't show all the knives. The exclusive knives like KW's exclusives won't be in the catalogs along with many of the gold class knives aren't going to be shown either. I really wonder if even BMK has a totally inclusive list of all the knives they have ever made. 
Jason any words of enlightenment?0 -
Well, we have our MRP systems that track all transactions, which makes for a pretty complete list.
But old, old stuff wasn't always documented, so even that may be incomplete.
Les may be the only person who knows them all.

This option was previously available at the Benchmade website, but when the "updated" the site a year ago (or so) this option was removed. I contacted Benchmade via email on 11-19-2015 and ask how to find this option on the new updated website and received the following response , "As far as looking up older models this feature has not yet been programed. We hope to have something available soon though".
Their reply was about a year ago, so I hope something is available soon.0 -
Even our old website was nowhere close to having all the SKUs we've ever done. 0 -

Yeah, but it would be nice to have encyclopedia of BKC knifes, right?

Yes, he most certainly is. I miss seeing him around
Last I heard he moved to LA and took up the beach bum lifestyle. Guess he got lost in the surfing community...0 -
I'd love to have an archive to scroll through too! 0 -
Benchmade really should have at least some of the old gold class knives up on the current website.
It really doesn't look good to go to the Benchmade website and click either the shop or learn gold class tabs and get only the 908-161 and have it be listed as out of stock. Out of stock on the limited gold classes or even not selling them is fine, but not even mentioning the 707-161 or the 485-151 is missing out on a whole big marketing tool.0 -
This database would be valuable for sure.
I've got to agree that it just doesn't make sense for certain models not to be included on the official site. As a collector, an accurate archive would be the cat's meow...0
