Sorry no pic, but what was the exact model number of the LE 5000 with the Red scales?

It may just be my next hunt... only 50 made right? Better sell some of the collection

Its a 5000 red. It should be marked "Limited Edition xx/50" and come in a blue box.

They also did blue, green, and purple with that run.

Thanks man, that is a small run, do you know what the street value is these days? I imagine them coming up rarely.

new with the goodies $300............

Here’s my purple one. I had the option of also buying the red one when I bought this but passed, I could kick myself for that mistake

How much did you pay,if you don't mind or pm me........just curious..........plus the MSRP

I bought it from Josh back in 06 and as best I can remember I paid $200. I don’t know what the msrp was.

I remember when they came out, they were selling between $150 and $175 on ebay. I bought a 5000BT Blue that i still have for like $152.

There were actually some sterile 5000's that were for sale too. Plain metal colored handles and BT coated blades, but no Benchmade markings anywhere. I am still kicking myself HARD for not buying one.

That purple auto is sick!!!!

All are either prototypes or limited editions.
