239 international
Same here, I think Benchmade drank waaay to much of their own Kool- Aide .
Considering the 239 was only $45 brand new, I'd say they were being generous.239 international

Hey Benchmade, want to sell knives? here's a few tips.
- Adamas 2.0 - make it and UNCOATED blade, satin or stonewash, slightly change the handle design to give it a fresh look and feel, also make it in a good corrosion resistant steel. In a market currently obsessed with beefy overbuilt knives, a refresh of this would sell like hotcakes.
- 943/940 - make a version with full titanium scales, would add even more class to an epic knife while showing some love to the neglected 943.
- Rukus / Mini Rukus - BRING IT BACK, upgrade the steel for some extra appeal.
- AFCK - BRING IT BACK, again add more steel options.
Is that so hard to envision? I bet you anything, just that small bunch of refreshers would sell more than the boring, uninspired designs we've seen in the 2017 catalogue, by a stonking country mile too. Oh and one last thing - lose the silly prices.
