Hey there guys, I have a couple to get rid of, and looking to do so quickly.
Both knives have been used and flipped, but are in great condition. Both knives will be sold with sheaths only, as I dont have the boxes for these particular knives.
I accept paypal only for this sale, personal preferred (especially if you have no feedback).
I check my email much more frequently than this post, so the fastest way to get a hold of me, or claim your knife, is to send me an email to:
rangerover_95 @ hotmail.com
Now that the disclaimers are out of the way, lets get to the blades!!!!
First up is a Benchmade Model 45, from back in the day. This is one of the earlier made versions, with the oval countersunk handles and the thinner, shorter clip blade. These are just getting rarer and rarer... I love the weight, it's slightly heavier than a modern Titanium handled balis, at roughly 5 oz. The stainless handles also have a lovely ring to them when you flip it.
The knife had just been to Lifesharp before I bought it, and I havent cut anything with it since I have had it (about 8 months or so). The handles have scuffs and hairline scratches on them, but they are free of dents, nicks or any severe damage. The latch locks remarkably tight in both positions, and there is little in the way of latch damage on the handles. The tang cups are still fresh with no wear, which is amazing. One pin has revealed itself, I was going to ship it to McAhron to have him replace the pins with modern pivots, but never got around to it. The handles have a bit of looseness, as demonstrated by the picture below, but its not bad at all, and this knife flips like no other Benchmade.....
I am asking $325 OBO, shipped Priority with full insurance and tracking. Good luck finding another 45 in this condition for the same price....
