The guys and gals that have been around a while have seen me post a few older pics up of this one before. These are the first new pictures I've taken of it in quite a few years.

To my knowledge it's the only one like it. I have yet to see or even hear of another one out there. It's also probably the only time you'll ever see a Benchmade with an uncoated M2 blade.

I'd suggest checking out the full sized pictures. They really get scaled down to fit in the forum posts.

Full sized pictures are here: 1 2 3

Wow. Thats beautiful. Uncoated M2..806 w/ oval hole.

BM would be able to move 1K of those I`d bet.

That 780 is cool as well, no idea it even existed. Shsme it never made full production.

Thanks for posting.

The AFCK's lover wet dream, I'd pick up a couple of those if they came out in a limited run.

That must have been made right before the decision was made to go with D2

While I am not a fan of the 806 (or any knife with a hole in the blade), this one is very cool.

Patryn, I always knew you had some unusual stuff in your collection, but this one takes the cake. I have never seen an uncoated M2 blade for BM before, thank you for sharing this one with us.

But not on a BM knife.
Spyderco does this uncoated I know , but never seen a uncoated M-4 on BM.
Iam not saying it didnt happen , just that Ive never seen it.

Ditto

I've seen other makers/manufacturers do uncoated M2/4, but never have I seen a BMK example other than this one. And this one I would have seriously doubted if I did not trust the OP...

Fantastic knife! I miss my old AFCK. I want them to put it back in production.
