Hey everyone, first post and what not.
There's this really old, run down store near me, and I go in there on occasion to see if they have anything interesting. This is the type of store that still has ammo from 1970 that they bought new, along with a wall of rusty bolt actions collecting dust, and the occasional MRAD thrown in between the war relics.
A friend saw a few old blue Benchmade boxes in the corner, and I found this one still in the box--it doesn't appear to have been carried or used at all. It's a #600 Brend 2 combat folder and feels pretty solid. It still has the factory edge and appears to be mint/LNIB. Can you tell me anything about this knife? Are the older BMs of the same quality as the newer ones? I also have a BM 943 and custom Grip, but I didn't even know BM made knives this old. What would you consider to be a fair market price given its age and condition?
Not sure how to post pics quite yet, but here are two Imgur direct links:

Also, they had a Benchmade 970HK with what appeared to be black G10 grips and a black tanto blade with a USP engraved on one side and HK's logo on the other side IIRC. They were asking $90 for this one. How common are these? Is that a good deal? Would it be worth returning to pick it up? Unfortunately I don't have any pics of that one.
Thanks for any help you can give me!
