Benchmade Ascent, ATS-34 Stainless Blade, Black FRN Handle Scales, 830S.

New/Old stock Item.  The knife is LNIB, the box itself is at 70% condition.

This New Old Stock (NOS) Benchmade Ascent (830S) is a classic "all-purpose" powerhouse from Benchmade’s 1990s lightweight lineup. Often considered the lightweight sibling to the iconic AFCK, this vintage specimen features a partially serrated (CombinationEdge™) blade crafted from ATS-34 stainless steel—the high-carbon Japanese alloy that reigned as the industry's premier "super steel" during this era. As an uncirculated find, the Black FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) handle scales retain their crisp "Gator Grip" texture, offering a rare opportunity to own a "mint" example of the tool that helped bridge the gap between tactical performance and everyday utility.
