RAREST PRODUCTION BENCHMADE KNIVES (thanks to the career collectors at the Benchmade Forum for helping to develop this list. You probably won't see these in this gallery, but I like keeping track. This is only a partial list, there are many other rare BM's not on this list):

Benchmade 806HS Prototype. This AFCK Proto owned by Patryn had an uncoated polished M2 steel blade an axis lock.
Benchmade 970 HK Special "F**K THE REST" Only 8 made (See picture in this gallery)
Benchmade 49SPL. Only 25 made. Voted Most Collectable Knife at the International knife Show in Europe. Mirror polished blade signed by Les himself.
Benchmade 46DM. Only 12 made.
Benchmade 300. A unique kind of Monarch linerlock.
BM 145 Cub Special Edition in Stag. Made for the 1999 Indiana State Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) Rally
855-AL Color Trails
Rainbow Anodized BM-30 Special Edition (these were made for a third party company--The Edge Company, and sold through their catalog. 200 were made. The rainbow finish is a very hard nitride coating, maybe silver nitride.)
