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

This New Old Stock (NOS) Benchmade 970ST is the definitive "blackout" tactical icon, representing the high-water mark of the 1990s collaboration between Benchmade and Ernest Emerson. This CQC-7 specimen features the legendary Chisel-Ground Tanto blade, finished in Benchmade’s signature BT2™ black Teflon® coating and featuring a partially serrated (CombinationEdge™) profile. Crafted from premium ATS-34 stainless steel, this uncirculated find is a true time capsule, preserving the aggressive texture of its Black G-10 handle scales and the rock-solid engagement of its original titanium liner lock.
