I am selling a lightly used Benchmade PE Mini-Grip (556). I EDC'ed this one for a little bit before upgrading to the Ritter Mini-Grip. There are one or two minor scuffs on the handle, unnoticeable with the black. The pocket clip shows some minor wear, mostly on the edges. The blade is still in excellent shape, no damage or scratches. Lock-up is good and action is smooth. It has been sharpened a few times on a sharpmaker.
Picture below is how it looks now because I haven't used it since getting the Ritter Mini. I don't have a camera at the moment, will have one on wednesday or thursday - I can take specific close up pics of handle scuffs, clip wear, edge etc if wanted. Comes as knife alone and the bag if I can find it; I don't have the box.
$50 -->$45-->$40-->SOLD shipped, don't worry about PP fees. First "I'll take it."
ETA: Depending on how you like to use the Axis lock, this knife may or may not have a tiny bit of lateral blade play. As far as I know, this is fairly typical of the Mini-Grip as a lower class BM. If you want to flick the knife open and closed easily with the axis alone, you have to loosen the pivot screw, and that introduces a slight amount of lateral blade play. Really, it's barely noticeable; I only detect it when I grip the blade and manually move it side-to-side. If you don't need to open the knife with the axis lock, you can tighten the pivot screw, resulting in zero blade play. I usually keep the pivot screw tightened just enough so I can flick the knife open and closed all or most of the way, but not enough to have lateral blade play.
