Which one would you consider more valuable?
I've been carrying an Altitude as my EDC for a couple years now. A few months ago I stumbled upon a prototype for a good deal and jumped on it. Now obviously the first production knife has been carried, used, abused customized and resharpened/reprofiled.
I'm keeping the prototype as a backup if my other one is ever lost or broken. But I was curious...hypothetically, if both where brand new, never used in box which would you consider more valuable?
I figured the Prototype as I rarely see any prototype stamped Benchmades, but there is the cool factor of the first production model, knowing it is literally the only knife with that number.
