That last post of my newest Benchmade was just a test to see if I could post a picture from my tablet.

Don't have any concrete info on the model name.Interesting model #(585)which is the Italian mark for 14 karat gold.The Osborne is likely Warren Osborne who was a custom knife maker some time back.Did you try contacting Benchmade ?

Thanks k7k. I have looked at the Benchmade site and online elsewhere but cannot find another example of this knife.
I bought it on ebay a few years ago and seller may have referred to it as a "Griptilian" but i see many different Benchmades all called "Grip---n" so i don't know what this word actually refers to.
I thought this would be easy to answer !

Recently purchased this Benchmade 665 from GP Knives in Troy IL. It's just east of St. Louis. If you are ever in the area it's a must see for a knife guy.

ps. I have absolutely nothing to do with GP Knives.

Torrent 890BK (CPM154)
Emissary 3.5 477-1 (S30V)
Volli 1000001BK (S30V)

The Torrent is in my pocket as I write this. No safety, liner lock. Smooth and elegant. The other 2 are AXIS lock, which is okay but they both have safeties, which I have mixed feelings about. I do like the Volli a lot though! Primarily because it is wide, easy to deply and the scales are 3D milled and have excellent grip. I'm having mixed feelings on the Emissary. It is a bit more difficult for me and my hands to deploy because it's body width is a little less.

Bought this Dive Knife 111H20-YEL at the Janesville show last spring. Guy was having a fire sale on all his Benchmades and I couldn't resist.

Thanks garddogg! I'm really enjoying the Torrent and the Volli. Still trying to warm up to the Emissary 3.5 though.

Update: Been playing with the Emissary 3.5 since posting the above... I am warming up to it now. Getting more used to it's feel and action. It's got a really cool blade, albeit in S30V blade steel. I actually prefer CPM154, which is what the Torrent has.

CheckSix my general observation, based entirely on personal experience, is that the more I fondle and caress a knife the more drawn to it I become. The knives I am the fondest of are the ones that have traveled with me on my journey through life.

Yessir! I agree. My Western S-532 folder was my constant companion for decades. I posted about it in the Western sub-forum. It was my first serious quality knife.

Of my 3 Benchmades, the Emissary is the narrowest and when I go to flick it open, I don't have the leverage I do with the Torrent and especially the Volli. The Volli fits me like a glove. Right out of the box, it was easy to use, so was the Torrent.
