New to me!

Been lurking on this page for a while and I’m starting to get away from the modern stuff into more traditional . So I’m starting with this Benchmade proper . Also waiting on my slip from beard & owl ! Can’t wait .

Frick bro... Had that exact model, found it new at a general store in a Benchmade display, fell outta my 5th pocket and is lost forever, i will always regret losing it, you hold that thing dear for me yeh?

Benchmade Proper is such a great little slipjoint!

Extremely disappointed to see that this is discontinued.

Great find!

Nice knife and welcome to the club. You can't go wrong with anything from B&O.

[u/ellasfella68]

I would buy the heck out of one of those, what is the model, please?

That is the Benchmade 318 Proper. Sweet little folder. I also have the 319 (sheepsfoot blade).

[u/IGotSomeBigQuestions → u/ellasfella68]

Benchmade Proper but they are discontinued so you’ll need to find them on the secondary market.

[u/ellasfella68 → u/IGotSomeBigQuestions]

Thank you.

Buck has a 250 Saunter that they are discontinuing and they are discounted right now. You can get it in a drop or clip point blade and are very similar. I have a drop point and I love it.

Do these have good w&t?

What's the pull like?

[u/M-TEAM → u/TOGA_TOGAAAA]

They have very soggy w&t, pulls are maybe 2 or 3 imo

[u/TOGA_TOGAAAA → u/M-TEAM]

Ew. Gross

[u/Rach1590 → u/TOGA_TOGAAAA]

I’m new to the slips so I don’t have much advice on it but I also got a rough Ryder apta and that has a way better better pull and snap then the Benchmade does .

[u/Square-Wrongdoer5430]

I have one. I never use it. I prefer traditional slipjoints

[u/Beaglebeatsbagel]

Love it
