Sorry, can't take pictures at this time. I need to send my camera in for warranty service.

1. Benchmade 42C (12/100). The 42C is not only the first Benchmade Bali-Song with a pocket clip, it's also the first introduction of their revolutionary Spring Latch. These first spring latches are different than the current production ones in that instead of a rounded indention in the handle, there's a square section milled out, with a square section on the latch that it fits in. The functional difference is that this older style spring latch can't be "thumbed off" and can only open by squeezing the handles. The knife is in very good/excellent condition. There are some light marks on the handles but I'm pretty sure they're tool marks rather than from handling. I'm not the first owner, so I can't vouch for that completely. I've never carried the knife or used it to cut anything, and judging by everything else on the knife (other than those light marks) any previous owner(s) has never carried or used it either (again, I'm guessing, but pretty sure). I have lightly flipped the knife, and I have to say that out of every Benchmade balisong I've owned short of the 43-401, this 42C is the smoothest, tightest flipper. Blade is razor sharp. Includes original box/sleeve and aluminum presentation tin. Asking $250 $230 Sold.

2. Benchmade 42-400 #43/125. Excellent/95%+ condition. Lightly flipped, never carried or used to cut anything. Titanium handles, D2 blade, zen pins, and pocket clip. Includes original box. Asking $250 shipped Sold.

3. Benchmade 43A. This one is marked "Collver Bowie Introduction June 2001 011/100". T-latch, beautifully anodized purple/blue. Absolutely dead mint condition, box included. Asking $350 $325 $305 shipped.

I will ship USPS Priority. Insurance extra based on price. Not looking for trades at this time. My bike got stolen last week, and I need the money to help cover my replacement. I can accept USPS money orders, cash/bank transfer PayPal, or CC PayPal (add 2% to cover some of the fees).

Duh, I have some old pictures of these knives.:foot: Condition in these pictures should be identical to current condition though.

stephane, I tried to reply to your emails, but they bounce back unsendable.

I can ship to France, but there'll be extra costs. International shipping is about $10 more. So $230+$325+10 = $565. But paypal (I assume you're paying paypal) adds a Cross Border fee, which is 3.9%+$.30. Unless you already have existing US funds in your paypal account. So the grand total would be $587. If you need to use a credit card, they add another 2,9%, which would come to $604 (just round it down to $600). If a CC payment, DO NOT send to this email address. This one is a personal account, I have a Business/Premier account set up for CC payments ( planterz@excite.com ).

You would also have to agree that once I ship the knives, my responsibility is ended, and I cannot reimburse the payment if for some reason the package doesn't reach you. I don't foresee any problems though, I've shipped to France before, as well as England, Norway, Germany, and Singapore without any problems.
