Just bought a barely used 350. No steel is listed on the back. The few things available I've read says 154cm. But judging on the time it was made it could be ats-34. It has the older logo. Anybody know? And Whats your opinion on the knife. It seems really nice.

  My guess is ats-34. As for the knife itself, I like the design. Never owned a 350 but I had a 3550 and I liked it really well.

  The 350 was my first BM knife ever, and it was ATS-34, if I recall correctly.

  

  
  
  However, we made some more recent ones with 154CM.

  Picture is terrible. Sorry. It has the balisong butterfly with benchmade under it. So I'm assuming it is older. Thanks for the response.

  hhe, funny that
  
  The 350 was also my first BM knife, which was ATS-34.
  
  
  
  As you say, I have seen later production versions which were 154 CM.

  And indeed
  
  despite the shaky images, that does look like a really nice knife. I would be proud to have it my collection.

  I'm really liking it. Not quite as smooth opening as my stryker, but snaps with authority. Takes some getting used to. The thumb stud is tiny, even for a smaller knife.
