Rare Early Benchmade Model 700-S TSUNAMI TANTO Liner Lock
[700-S]

Rare Early (Clackamas, OR) Production Benchmade Model 700-S TSUNAMI TANTO Liner Lock Folder   

Features smooth Black Anodized aluminum handles with a satin stainless pocket clip on the backside. (tip down).. 3 7/8" Satin Finished Part Serrated Tanto Blade features premium ATS-34 stainless. Blade is etched on the backside "BENCHMADE U.S.A." with Benchmade;s Logo on the front. Easy "one hand" open thumb stud.

Tanto is nicely ground. (Probably ground by Jody Samson).This model was one of Benchmade's earliest liner lock models (early 90's model), when Benchmade had a skeleton crew in Clackamas, OR. Samson was the only one who could grind a blade like that back then.  Extremely hard model to find now, (BM only made it for about a year.) This was right about the time Adams came along and helped in the design of what would later be called the AFO model, (which saved the company from bankruptcy).  This model is in mint unused /uncarried condition with the original box and paperwork. 

 Measures 5" closed. Features silky smooth opening action. Rock solid stainless liner lock. Includes original Box and paperwork (Box is also in mint condition) USA MADE. Rare find in such nice condition. Look around the internet, this is a hard model to find. New/Old Stock. Priced right.
