Anyone have any idea what this might be worth.

It is a cool, customized, carried, Benchmade 705. It says May 2000 on the blade.

This knife originally looked like a carbon fiber version of a BM 705. It wasn't really CF, but an aluminum handled 705 with a kind of CF looking sticker. I peeled off the sticker to expose the aluminum. I then sent it to Benchmade and they installed a new aluminum clip, and put in some phosphor bronze washers. It is by far the smoothest axis lock knife I have ever owned (I've had a lot).
The blade is ats-34. It has been carried. The aluminum handles have some pockmarks on them (for lack of a better word). The blade is in perfect condition. It is heavier than a regular BM 705 and therefore feels like a more substantial knife.

I haven't seen one come up for trade/sale in years! and none have been as cool as mine.

Any thoughts?
