unknown Benchmade 525

I have a Benchmade 525 USA made knife, but I am having a little trouble identifying it online. When I look up the 525 it comes up as the mini-presidio, but my knife does not look like this. My knife is an older model with a linerlock and a carabiner clip on the back. The reason I am interested is because the carabiner clip has broken and I am wondering how to go about getting it fixed. Any information would be helpful. If a picture would help I could post one as well

Might have the wrong model number because the 525 has never come with a liner lock.

I hope you guys can view the picture. It definitely is marked 525. I guess I am not sure if it even is a carabiner clip on the back, I just assumed it was.

No problems with it. It is a bit cumbersome to edc it. More of a specialty knife, tool box knife maybe.
Feel free to ask about your current or further Benchmades here. We can help you authenticate them.

Just buy in the USA from a reputable dealer (store) and you shouldnt have any problems.

Yes , but to be fair ......and maybe a Tad cheaper ,
I,d go with knifeworks , GP knives or new gram knives
But yes KC is a good dealer (reputable)

I believe most USA dealers to be good.
Watch out for china or hong kong based places.

the 8600 is a knife I think you really want to try before you buy. If you can find a local knife store or somewhere to handle one. They're pretty big and strangely shaped for a pocket.

I apppreciate the info guys and I will be back to discuss other benchmades that I have. I am about to purchase a bedlam 8600. Has anyone had any problems with it?

Check the WTS section - there is an 8600 up for sale there.
