The Benchmade Valet Gold Class 485-151 is a numbered limited edition that dresses Warren Osborne's slim Valet in Mike Norris Crazy Lace Damascus. The 2.96-inch drop-point blade, handle scales, and backspacer all showcase the deep-etched pattern, while black DLC-coated hardware, pocket clip, and liners frame it. Only 160 pieces were made. The ambidextrous AXIS lock and 6.69-inch open length keep it a genuine carry knife, not just a shelf piece.
