Up for trade is my Benchmade 581. I recently received it back from Benchmade where they installed a new blade and as part of that service, they also gave it thier full spa treatment and replaced the screws, clip, pivot, safety lock, springs, and thumbstuds. They also cleaned, adjusted, and oiled it. I haven't carried or used it since getting it back from Benchmade so it's in excellent/like new condition. The only thing that's touched the new blade is a piece of receipt paper which it sliced right through...gotta love M390 
The knife was in lightly used condition before the service but the original blade got pretty scratched up when a friend offered to sharpen it for me so I decided to take advantage of Benchmade's $30 replacement policy.
The only "issue" is that the blade now favors the clip side. It doesn't touch or rub but it's off-center. I thought about sending it back to Benchmade for adjustment but decided that I would wait since it's purely cosmetic and does not affect the function in any way.
I like the knife and wouldn't mind keeping it but I'm always looking to try something new. I'm pretty much open to any quality 3"+ folder (especially a Spyderco Military Titanium) so feel free to make offers.
Also, I don't have the original box so it will ship in a standard black Benchmade box.
