Wally, The 9050 was issued to some of the US Air Force personnel around 10-15 years ago. Not sure what they issue now. The 9050's that were serial numbered had to be turned back in when done using. The lever locks are nice also. Here are a few other types of lever locks.

Eric,
That is some collection!!!!
Wally,
Nice Benchmades. I bet if you sent the old one back to Benchmade they would restore it for you. But being that you had it in the sandbox with you,I think you would like it the way it is.

I just received my Buck Impact from Blade HQ. Really nice. Wish I had the ability to post a photo of it.

Not sure of the age.

Tony, That is a model MC1 US Air Force flight suit knife. It fit in a small pocket in the crotch area of the flight suit. My Dad was first issued one in 1964. He gave it to me and my Mom took it away from me. For all of about 3 days I was the only 7 year old with a switchblade. Different days back at Pope AFB. Oh boy.

Thanks Eric!

Funny!

Eric, I bought (I think) 4 of the 9050s from a KBR employee at LSA Anaconda in 2004. They sold the same knife at the PX there, but I got 4 from the KBR fella for what 1 would cost at the PX. The 9100 was issued to a friend of mine stationed at Camp Cedar, who was working as a mechanic. When I got home I gave away the extra 9050s and a bunch of other souvenirs. I still carry the 9100 pretty regularly.
