DISCONTINUED Benchmade USA 5000SBK Mel Pardue Presidio Knife.Just bought one of these on Ebay for $115 new.Did I get a good deal? is this a good knife? All the reviews I read were very good.There were a couple more and they were asking $300+.I wanted a BM Bedlam,but just to big,and this knife seemed just right. What do you guys think?

Smells fishy, at that price. It's either stolen or a counterfeit, I think.

Still, I'm pulling for you. I hope it pans out.

Nothing wrong with finding a good deal.

The seller has a 100% rating and selling since 1999.Iknow on Ebay now a days that means nothing because they don't care what you sell. Fake Spydercos right out in the open. What do you think of the knife.

EBay isn't the judge. The buyer is. Besides your protected anyways.

Presidios are awesome. I own a 5500 mini Presidio auto and a 5700 Presidio II auto. The aluminum scales will tear up your pockets eventually.

I used one as my duty knife for years. It was a good knife.
