Up for sale today is a heavily modified Benchmade 755 Mini Pocket Rocket by Shane Siebert. As you can see from the pictures, this thing has been modified from front to back. I am the 2nd owner, you can find the original sales thread here;

I purchased it because I had been looking for a 755 for a while and when I saw this, I jumped on it. I carried it once, discovered it's not really my style, so I put it into the safe where it's sat ever since. As it turns out, I've found something new that I want and this is next on the sales block.
Now for the details ---> The blade is M390 steel and is extremely sharp, it has been re-profiled to 30 degrees. I gave it a couple of passes on the sharpmaker and then stropped it afterwards and it shave hair no problem. Lock-up is solid but not perfect, there is a slight hint of lock rock if you really look for it, but is not noticeable otherwise. Opening and closing action is very smooth and consistent in either direction. Although the original owner mentioned that the stop-pin adjustment screw is slightly damaged (close to being stripped?) I have never bothered to check it out as it is under the pocket clip and I've never bothered to remove it. The hardware has been bronze finished, and appears to have been polished afterwards for a softer finish.
Basically I purchased this knife to be a very cool and unique user, obviously not an investment of any kind. The knife comes with it's box and black baggie. I paid $165 + fees when I purchased it, but I'm looking to move it quickly to free up some funds for another project I'm working on. I will sell this shipped to your door via USPS Priority mail for $155 all in. I cover PP fees and shipping fees. I usually ship same day if possible, next day at the latest, with tracking no. provided via email as soon as the package ships. Not looking for trades at this time unless you have a complete set of 3" XM-18 Anodized Blue Hardware.
I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have. You can contact me via pm or email me at chris(at)vpgunwerks(dot)com.
Thanks for looking!
