Benchmade Mini-Skirmish Gold Class Limited Edition
Benchmade releases a few of their Gold Class limited editions throughout the year and they are hard to get. We are a fairly large dealer in Benchmade products and we generally get one or two of each release. The new Mini Skirmish Gold Edition is one of their nicest releases. It really is dressed up a super Damasteel blade with a gorgeous pattern and gold plated hardware as well as carbon fiber onlay on the titanium frame. Each is numbered and comes with a certificate and these will not last long. They are premium items.
Here is Benchmade’s information:

Gold Class
Erasing the lines between custom and manufactured, it is a matter of satisfying the ultimate desire. Whether it is embellishing existing designs to loftier heights, creating entirely new ones, or even crafting a one of a kind experience from a collector’s wish list, the Gold class clearly sets the new standard of knife manufacturing.
