What do I have?

[NathanJefferson]

So I traded for this a few weeks back and was trying to figure out what exactly it is and how bad of a deal I got.

It's a Benchmade titanium knife that I was told was the original Emerson knife before Emerson started making knives for himself. I found a few links online before I traded it but all my google fu has left me because I can't find any more details.

Anyone know a model number to start looking for or have any extra details to help me out?

Looks like an early Stryker model.. 910, I think, IIRC?

Interesting about that titanium blade.

Thanks for the info! Now to sift through the various sites to try and get a decently accurate value.

Lots of different prices out there, most are years old...

 

[grunt soldier]

lol that is because they haven't been made for a while now

 

[NathanJefferson]

Hmm, might have to take it to ebay... I hate ebay...

Why would you do that? There's GOT to be an INGOer that would be interested.. How much are you wanting for it?

That's the problem, don't know what to ask for it. Just want to try and recoup what I have into it (at least part of it...ugh).

While you were at the 1500 you should have ran it by Brad he could have told you exactly what it was. He does know a little about knives.

I'm defiantly interested in it. I am a titanium nut. If you decide to sell send me a pm. I'd love to have it.
