    Ha! I just started a thread in the a/o -auto section.

    I believe GP's pre-order is the first we are hearing about it.

    I'm looking forward to it.

    WOW!

    I have been wanting a smaller m390. May have to get one of these. The full barrage is a little too large for me to really get any use out of as an EDC (I would carry a grip when I need something large).

    Maybe they just shortened it. 1000000000000000000586

    Am I correct that this one is not a LE?

    So the only point of the pre-order to get in line first?

    That was my thinking. There's no -130X after it, seems to be the same materials as the larger one. Looks like production model to me. I'd preorder one, but I like to wait out the first production marked knives.

    Yeah, it looks like a regular production model to me... I'm going to wait awhile to order one.

    I might be in for one of these. Although I still don't own a 581.

    I would think the Al bolsters hurt sales on the 581. I sure wish they just went full G10 on these.

    Well, whaddya know...'bout time. Got that bad boy on pre-order.

    The blade appears to have less belly than the 585, which is an interesting difference. I like it. This will be a VERY sweet EDC.

    I just preordered mine. I love my 581 and EDC it nights and weekends, but its a bit too large to EDC at work (office job). My 585BK is my current work EDC, but it will be demoted to camping utility tasks when my 586 arrives.

    I saw this 581-131 posted today on Benchmade's site. This is a very nice looking Gold Class. It also happens to be of my favorite BM model. The price seems a bit high to me. I was thinking this should be in the $500 range like some of the other Ti GC knives. anyone care to comment?

    Thanks,

    $950.00!
    Eeker
    What makes it that expensive lol

    Outrageously over priced! At least make it $500 or $600

    950 for some CF and G10, I'll pass

    But the 940-81 was listed as $600 retail on BM's site (and I know my dealer would have given me 25% off) but still - 940 had a cooler G10 design and nicer blade in my opinion..

    I'm sure many would agree that 950 for that is outrageous

    940-81 retail (when first out) listed as $600

    586 retail $950 -

    + everyone knows that Gold Class blades go up in value if kept NIB

    I'm glad i'm not the only one. I'm still trying to figure it out myself. I could see if it had some kind of special handle inlay like Abalone or something. I'm stumped.

    I also agree but at least 586 got a Damascus blade,new GC Shoki just with abalone inlay
    for 650 retail is a way to much IMHO.
