330CF-DM Pardue
I saw this one and had to snag it for a Christmas gift to myself as I had never seen this version of the 330 before.
The 330 Pardue came out in 1998. A Ti framelock with partial G10 scales with an ATS-34 blade.
A small but solid gent's knife, the 330 was also later offered as the 330P, with pearl partial scales and also as two different KOTM versions in 2000, one the 01-2000 with carbon fiber partial scales and the 12-2000 with no scales but with a clip added.
This one with jeweling on the Ti liners, a polished steel back spacer and a damasteel blade. Not sure but this may well have been a concept run. I could have grabbed a second one that was the same but only had "Benchmade" on the back spacer as it's branding.
Anyone with info or comments on this one please chime in.
