Benchmade model 31 Balisong

[Fatboy 589]

Hi everybody!

So yesterday I got a Benchmade model 31 Balisong with titanium handles and 440c blade steel. Traded a cold steel karambit and a spyderco endura for it. Pretty good deal, I'd say.

But what I didn't realize is how potentially rare this model knife is. I'd love some info on this knife. Value mainly, if they're still being made, and if it would hurt the value at all if I had it sent into Benchmade to be cleaned and sharpened.

Thanks!

It was not rare when it was in production. I bought one new at a gun show for 100 when they were new. It's my favorite, i traded away its larger brother the 42. I've got mine in my pocket now.
