I've taken the shots here that show you the things I want you to see---I'll happily take as many pictures as you like, from any angle you like. The last shot next to the Ti Military is just for comparison of size and color.

Please post "I'll take it" here on the thread, in addition to PMing or emailing me through the forum, that way there's no doubt as to who was first. Also, please do NOT say "I'll take it" and then send me a PM negotiating the price. If you say you'll take it, you're agreeing to the asking price. Price includes shipping and insurance. Payment by paypal (I'll eat the fees) or USPS money order, please. I'll happily ship anywhere in the US*. For international sales, we can figure out additional shipping costs, but check your local laws before you order and I cannot be held responsible for what happens to the knife once it leaves these shores, nor will I lie on the customs form about what's in the box. Many countries have a limit in terms of how much USPS will insure packages--I probably can't insure the knife for the entire value internationally.

*Keep in mind that in this case, there are many US states that do not allow the ownership of a balisong. If you don't know your local laws, FIND OUT BEFORE YOU TAKE IT!

If you do not get an immediate response from me, do not panic! :D Pretty much exactly because they don't want us screwing around and doing personal stuff on the internet, my work blocks bladeforums (along with anything else fun) and I seldom have time to look at email during the day anyway. As such, I take care of things in the evenings when I get home. If you were first to say you'll take something on the thread, rest assured you'll be getting a response that evening.

Brief word on condition---Please carefully inspect knives upon receiving them. I try to be absolutely meticulous about finding flaws on anything I sell and making them known to prospective buyers, but if I miss something (it's happened) please let me know immediately, and we can talk about either an adjustment to the price if you still want it, or a complete refund in addition to me covering the return shipping. My reputation is important to me, and I'll never try to slip anything by you.


Benchmade 42AS In extremely nice condition. It never saw much action, as I have trouble controlling light titanium-handled balisong, having cut my teeth on the old heavy steel ones. I'm actually the second owner on this knife, and really have hardly played with it. The previous owner didn't flip it much if he did at all. Even when I "flip" I mostly just do a rolling motion to open them, I don't slap them back and forth, it's just not my thing. It's a 42 AS, so it's partially serrated. There are a few marks on the T latch, a tiny (and I do mean tiny, I couldn't get a good picture of it here) roll in the plain edge about 1/2" in front of the teeth---which I could absolutely erase with ten swipes on a loaded strop I just want to be honest-- I'm guessing it's probably factory wire edge that never got removed. There are also a few shiny spots on the spine of the knife right near the handles--they look like nicks in this picture but they're just little dings or rubs, I can't catch them with a fingernail. Knife has never been used by me to cut anything, and if the previous owner did he did it carefully. I don't have a box or papers on it. $360 SOLD
