Benchmade 556-1303 Mini-Griptilian, this is a limited edition (317 of 500) CPM-M4 with Wilkins aluminum grips. The grips are blue with a black spacer. This is a very nice knife and comes in the box with the original scales as well. It wears a split arrow oxidized pocket clip. Lockup is very tight with just a slight amount of side to side blade play so it will open smoothly. I'm sure this could be adjusted/smoothed out with use. The knife has not been used from what I can tell. It does have one or two dust-sized specks in the scales, but you have to look really close to even see those. I have it listed for sale here as well but thought I'd offer it up for trade.
What I'm interested in is a Benchmade 710. I would love to have another one in M390 but would settle for other steels. Trade values would have to be adjusted with other items or cash depending on what it is.
I will go ahead and say though, if you are looking to get rid of a problematic 710, don't bother. I've been through a bunch of them and am VERY PARTICULAR about my knives. I know there are perfect ones out there and they are what I am interested in. I've seen M390's with overly ground bevels (too much material removed), burned edges (ground too hot), closed blades hitting the spacer between the liners and blade play issues. I'm looking for one with NONE of these issues.
I'd also consider other trades but I am a big AXIS lock fan and fixed blade person. I want a GSO-6 if anyone wants to trade one they have coming in.
These pics are terrible but the knife is really nice.
