Check out my $65 Benchmade pawn shop find

[jnevill]

New in the box First Production Run (0973/1000) Benchmade 813S Mini TSEK.

It's been a good year for classic Benchmades at my house, I also got 2 new in the box AFCK 800's for $60 each,

a NIB Benchmite for $50, and this last one. Does anyone know anything abouth this last one? It's an oldie, it has the Bali-Song on the handle but nothing on the blade, I'm not sure of the model number or blade steel, any suggestions?
Thanks!
Jim

Excellent, thanks! Any idea of the production year?

1991 was it's first year in the catalog, if that helps

Here's a couple more recent (2009) finds -

An Ares I got for $85...

A limited edition 425 that I paid too much for (with all the good deals I've gotten I guess it's ok to pay near retail once in a while) -

A pre-production 770 (0341/1000) -

And a beautiful MOP & Titanium 330 -

Thanks Rx! It never ceases to amaze me when I find a NIB knife THAT old! Now if only I could do that with a Remington Bullet knife...

I have one of those! Great knife. I was lucky enough to find one lurking in the back of a drawer at the knife shop I work at in the summers. Got a good deal on it.

Great finds! I got my brand new 735BT at the 2003 Blades Show for $85!

Awesome finds, bet you had to pay ca$h for them. $60 for a NIB PE 800?? Great score~!!

I almost got a good deal on a BM Snody folder I forget which one but the guy wanted to return the knife but he did have the receipt and he received the knife as a present and he did not have the receipt and the knife had gone discontinued in our system so it was marked down lower than the guy who gave the knife payed for it and we would give him the current cheaper price and the customer kept the knife and I did not get a cheap BM.
