I am asking $150.00 for this Benchmade Valet 485 that I ordered from Blade HQ in March 2015; it's number 898 of 1000 if you're concerned about such things. Three-inch M390 blade, Axis lock obviously, gray G10 scales and an over-the-top pocket clip. Was carried much more than it was used resulting in several scratches at the top of the pocket clip. It was only lightly used, was sharpened once or twice on a SharpMAker and stropped occasionally. The is a small amount of vertical blade play, something I noticed some reviewers commenting on. I sent it back to Benchmade last spring to fix the problem of the blade play and apparently they did not find it a problem because they returned it to me without any improvement. They did sharpen it and if memory serves I haven't sharpened it since receiving it from the company.
