Hello, would like some information on the 140SBK-NS. I have owned some of the 14000 Nim's but have never seen one with the Navy Seal Trident on the blade. 154cm black blade, was this a limited (like most benchmades are marked) , have seen Navy logo type as well. Any information would be appreciated. I have seen the 140 gpoing for average $150.

Thax!

It is very possible that someone custom ordered the engraving direct from Benchmade, because you are right that Benchmade numbers their special editions.

The Navy SEAL edition is new to me. I have a paratrooper one. Most of the Nims in top condition I've seen sell for around $150, so I think your guess is pretty close.
Thanks, guys!

One of the official Navy Seal Knives to get the name "TRIDENT" is the SOG Trident(no Logo).  It got it's name after hundreds of these models were given to several special forces teams.  After about 3 months the Navy Seals modified it to be able to cut para-cord without opening the knife.   SOG so named the model after the Trident pin of the SEAL's.  As far as other "SEAL" marked or label on knives, in most cases just a sales gimmick that the DOD/DOJ has yet to put a stop to.

TOPS, ESEE, SOG and a few others are actually used, or modified and used by several Spec Forces.  

It would be hard to find out what the guys are actually using know.  Things change with the area of ops.  Weather, survival, jungle, desert etc..
