benchmade 42 price difference

Post by 1tommygun82 »

Question is there any difference in price for a benchmade 42 without a spring latch vs one with a spring latch ? I know the one without is older so does that make it more valuable ?

Right now they are all crazy expensive.
Personally, I like spring latches more, but wouldn't pay more for a spring latch.

I didn't even know they made an anodized 42.

If it is production anodized then yes i would assume it would be worth a bit more.

yeah after reading some articles online I found out that benchmade did do a prodiction run of anodized titanium handled 42's. I dont know how many were made but I have never seen any prior to today so Im guessing that would make it a more valuable knife. Im gonna try to grab this one up while i have the money.
