Which model do you think will be next Gold Class addition to the line-up and which model, as you feel, should get the Royal treatment?
The way I see it Ares deserves to be reborn in Gold, but most likely we'll see the LFTi or 960 go to the top next.
What are your opinions?

Well, I don't know much... but I'm wishing (and wishing ) and hoping, that Benchmade has the good sense to come out with a Mini-Rift, and if it then goes then so much the better.

And if they came out with a Mini-Rift I'd also welcome a Mini-760 followed by the versions for those who want them.

id bet the Mark Lee to be next...
i wish they would do a 615 or 707.

For Mark Lee they'd have to place an order for different, much bigger Gold Boxes. And to make that work the order would have to be for at least a 500-1000 pieces so the cost wouldn't kill the profits (IMHO). Then we'd have to expect other large fixed blades to make a Gold Class appearance, like that M4 AxCaliber we've heard rumors about.
But I like the idea of 707 making it gold, or maybe even a 710ti. One can always dream, right?

Another rumor floating around is the introduction of a 42 sized Morpho. And supposedly it will make it's debut as a Gold Class model, turning into Blue some time after that. Now that I would deffinitely want to see.

I know they have been working out the bugs for almost a year and I here they are at the production proto stage.

Can't afford gold class, but a blue class mini rift, that would be something!

I'd love a "mini" LFTi with a full size handle and a sub 3" blade. CQC 14 ish.

if i could buy gold classes, i think i would like to see a gold 615
