First off I dont really collect knives but lately I picked up a few that caught my eye. The one of the left is a benchmade that was given to me by a company i work for from time to time cant remember the model right off hand. The one on the right is a Elkins hand made from a guy in Bonita Louisiana he makes some rediculous knives. The handle is made of micarta and the blade is P12something stainless. The inside of the knife is titanium so its lite weight. The knife is built simular to the Benchmade but feels better to me. This is his basic knife I paid 200 for it he also makes assisted opening knives but they shoot way up in price. I use all my knives so the get scratched up quickly.

 

That looks like a Benchmade 941. It should have the model number under the butterfly on the blade.

 

I'm a big Benchmade fan...I have the Elishwitz design and have had it for years...still as sharp as it was from day one!
