"the original"
Picture of the ob
Posted
So I was at the benchmade factory store today looking around. I was asking (tongue in cheek) when they were going to release more 42's. A unnamed person told me (and said they would deny it if this information ended up on the board) that they say something floating around in engineering that might resemble a updated version of a 42.

They said that the 42 would probably not be released again but if they did, it would probably be a new improved version. I left with the distinct impression that we will see a new improved version at some point.

I don't care as long as the handles are made from machined channel construction stainless steel or titanium.

The damascus blade and handle 42 sounds like a limited edition run.

This rumor may be for a new production knife in their lineup... Who knows.

"Supposedly" a Gold Class 42 in that configuration should've been released August-September of last year...

This was the impression I got. That it would be a new improved production model
