Vintage Benchmade 350S Mel Pardue Pre-Production 1998 folding knife with the original Benchmade box.
The blade is clearly marked:
MEL PARDUE DESIGN
PRE-PRODUCTION 1998
The original box is labeled 350S and also has the PRE-PRODUCTION RUN sticker, making this a nice early collectible Benchmade package.
This is the partially serrated 350S version with black textured handles, black pocket clip, thumb stud, and satin-finished blade.
The knife is in very good vintage condition overall. It shows some light handling/use wear and minor wear on the pocket clip consistent with age. The blade appears clean with the original markings clearly visible. Please review all photos closely for exact condition.
