Overview

This is a 1995 Model B. The Model B by Mel was the prototype for Benchmade Knives' model 850 which has been discontinued. This knife is in mint condition, smooth ambidextrous opening, excellent lockup opened and center seating when closed. Very appealing anodized titanium bolsters. A hairline crack in the walrus ivory is visible, which was present, as occurs in ivory, when the knife was made, and the ivory was stablized in this state. The crack is not felt when moving a finger nail over it. A very nice knife. Blade Steel: 154 CM Satin Finish

About the Maker

Pardue, Mel
Pardue, Mel

"I started making knives in 1957 and also worked with several engineering companies and continued making knives part time during this period. In 1974, I had the opportunity to join the Knifemakers guild and serve as an apprentice for two years. In the third year, I was voted in as a voting member of the Knifemakers guild, and after a few years I was elected as a director of the guild. After serving this position for several years, I was elected as the vice president of the Knifemakers guild, and served in these positions for a total of 35 years. I also have worked with Benchmade Knife Company for 24 years as a knife designer. Benchmade has manufactured many of my designs and currently continues to do so. Over the last 22 years, I have had the opportunity to teach knife making classes at the American Bladesmith School in Arkansas, and also at the Tannerhill symposium in Alabama. I have also taught many knifemakers in my shop. In 2019, I was inducted into the Knifemakers Hall of Fame at the blade show in Atlanta, Georgia." Mel Passed away in 2022.
