What Bench Made Would You Like Exclusive

I'm super new at this but trying to catch up.
Recently I bought: 710-1401, 940-1, 940-1501, 950-1401, 810-1401, 531, 908-1501.

So what's next? What knife would we like to see as an exclusive?

One I was thinking of is the 665 APB. Yay or nay?
I have a 2750 auto.
But the 665 is different.

I'd like a 710 with CF and S90V. If it came out with a slightly rounded handle rather than flat slabs...that would be cool too.

My 710-1401 is super nice. One of my favorite go to EDC.
LOTS of blue mixed in and comes with the M390 steel.

Carbon Fiber in anything is always nice. Love my 940-1.

It is time for a 520 Presidio exclusive. It is past time, actually.

I agree TB.
A long time ago I had to make a choice between the Presidio or the Rift. I liked the scales on the Rift better and the Rift won.
The orange and black 950-1401 is pretty cool looking.

But an exclusive Presidio would be great.

I wonder how the knife distributers determine what to make exclusive.
Hopefully, it's input from forums like this one.

An uncoated 810 in either M390/S90V with carbon fiber scales (including the same 810 scale pattern) with a black stainless backspacer or black barrel spacers - that’d be sexy

We still need a Rift with M390 & lightening holes. As this is Benchmade's 25 anniversary handles should be silver twill

How about, bring back a 630 Skirmish with some "Unique Graphics" and some S90V. Oh, and tip-up carry this time. ...Hmmm what exactly were the specs on that knife again? Sure wish I could look it up somewhere at BM website...

Good thing bladehq leaves old data around.

How about a mini and full size grip. CF, blue back spacers, and M4 or S90V. (or at least M390).

BM has put out some very nice LE's but this would sell like crazy. Doing the 940-1 was brilliant. I think this would be equally brilliant. Especially if the price was nice like the 940-1.

My first knife was a 840 ascent which I used for a long time till I got my Griptillian which I really liked and never felt the need to get another knife (till now).

I’m surprised that no one mentions the Griptillian. It’s a great knife and with custom scales/steel would be even better.

Which brings up my next question could one of our talented members make a custom Grip or want to at a reasonable price?

Also, is there an exclusive Grip out there already that I don’t know about?

Wow, that Skirmish is an awesome knife.
I was trying to find out what BM knife was the biggest folder.

Is this it? 4.30"

Please,
No more Ares. How many different ones are there already?
No more Griptilians. Same as above.
710 - there's already some very cool and affordable 710s.

So, what's left from the current models?
Maybe an L.E. Valet or Onslaught? Or a Loco or Presidio. Or an L.E. Nimravus (think M4 w/cool scales)!

That's the same train of thought I was having. There seems to be many variations of most Benchmade knives already out there, albeit maybe not the particular variation that certain individuals would like. I don't own a Loco, but it seems to be fairly popular and would make a good candidate for a LE.

One particular model that I like is the 15031 North Fork Axis. Maybe they could find a way to dress it up...maybe some checkered walnut scales, brass medallion, blued steel hardware, or some stag handles. Just spitballin here, but I'd definitely like another flavor of that model.

Wouldn't a 665ABP in M390 be the berries?!?!

Hey, that's a great idea! I love my Ares, 940's, etc... but I have a North Fork as well, and it's one of my favorites. Great little knife, and I've always loved wood scaled knives. The idea of dressing one of these up is fantastic. A striking nicely grained wood, maybe an upgraded steel... Hadn't even considered that one. Nice idea! I'm in!

I'm not a fan of auto or assisted knives, but the 665 is a very nice looking knife. If one were available with a premium steel like that, I just might be suckered into trying it out....
So I kinda hope they don't do it.

Bet your sweet dangly fruit it would be!

A black G-10 and black ceracoat M4 version would be the peaches and cream too.

Red Anodized Handles w/red dots, DLC M4 or M390, Benchmade Forum Laser Engraved on blade (USN style). Bring back a large bulletproof folder for field dressing big game.
