Pre-production knives that are numbered up to the first 1,000: are they worth much more then a regular production of the same model? The reason I ask, I have one and hesitate to use it. Is it worth a premium over others, or should I just use it normally? if it makes a difference it is a 210 with carbon fiber. I collect WW-2 items, especially German. Can you help me find some? | ||

The carbon fiber handle and blade material matter more on that model. | |||

Pre-production are to work the bugs out before putting out the regular production. They are worth the same as the regular un-number BM. __________________________ * Allen Elishewitz Preservation Society Founding Member #3 * Brotherhood of the 420 & Viceroy of the Knights of the Gravitator Member * Lum Lunatics Charter Member #15 * President of the Gentleman Society for the Preservation of the 960 Innova * Boomerangs 'n Butterflies: An Osborne Alliance Member #2 * Blackwood Society member #610 Red, Blue and Black Class, Pre-Productions, Limited Editions | |||

what about prototypes are they worth any more? | |||

also how does the whole prototype thing work, as in, they seem to be made monthly, but are not numbered, how many are made each month and does benchmade still honor the warrenty the same way as other production knives | |||

Prototypes are usually run in lots of 20 to 25 and are the only ones worth much more than the regular versions that follow. Any time you can get your hands on one of those, do break the piggy bank and for land-sakes don't use them. And like any other Benchmade they're covered under the limited lifetime warranty. 350, 520, 525BK-1101, 530, 580-1102, 580 Proto, 583-1, 585-1, 710-1, 710-2, 710D2, 710HS, 722, 732, 740, 740 Proto, 741, 745, 746, 746-1201, 750, 790, 800, 800HS, 805-1101, 810, 812, 830, 831, 835HS, 840, 845, 890, 905, 907D2, 910, 910SCG, 912D2, 913D2, 12400 Proto, 12410, 14205, 14210, 40022-100.
