My neighbor .... a cop , ask me the other day to sharpen a knife for him ..... he said its one of those BM,s and its an auto.
He didnt know which one it was and neither did I ...... so Iam asking for some I.D. on this .....
Its an oldie , thats for sure ....
Whats the model # and blade steel on this one ???
Anyone help out on this ???


He told me he got it awhile back .... he confiscated it off a teenager one night (looks like he kept it Big Grin
I then proceded to show him my infidels and 14800 and the auto axis I have .... he was impressed to say the least. He a good guy BTW.
Any help on the knife ??

Looks like a 9050 to me?

So far as steel goes, it looks like all my ATS34 blades from the late 90's.. however, I honestly don't know.

The 9050 is still listed on the BM site. It's one of those tried and true models they never disco'd entirely though it looks like they just make it and sell the SBK version unless you want a run of 20 or more now and its 154CM steel now.

My model 975 and several others from that time don't have model numbers on them or steel type.

Go look at it; its the same knife Smiler

DB53, I think the one in the picture is just a 9050S, but yeah.. pretty sure its identified correctly. dj still wants auto_luver's confirmation. Can't I be trusted after 863 posts? :P

You're right, I was thinking about the last two I just sold. They both were SBK. All I have and all I can remember seeing are 154CM.
