The Crooked River is sold.


Two Benchmades for sale: A First Production 761 and a Crooked River with Dymondwood scales and a custom black G10 backspacer.



Both are LNIB. Both come with original boxes. The 761 has some light snail trails. Both have factory edges. Neither has been used. Both blades are centered. Neither has blade play. The 761 has a light detent and flies open with a flick of the thumb.


The Crooked River comes with three backspacers. The installed one is black G10, created by scale artist Steve Ketchen. There is also a brown one, also by Steve, and the stock orange one. The stock orange has some Sharpie ink on it that I couldn’t remove completely, but I didn’t try too hard. I didn’t like the orange because it draws attention to the knife when it’s in your pocket.


Prices are TYD. I cover PalPal fees, Priority Mail shipping and insurance. First unconditional “I’ll take it” gets it, if followed by a prompt PayPal.


The 761 sells new at BladeHq for $340. My price: $150.


The Crooked River sells new at BladeHq for $195. My price: $169, including extras.

There is no scratch on the Dymondwood scales, just a stray malamute hair.

The colors didn’t come out well in the bottom photo, probably because of the flash. The brown is really just a little lighter than the brown Dymondwood scales. There is more Sharpie ink on the orange stock spacer than the photo shows. The installed backspacer is black, not gray.

Offer retracted; missed that this is a First Production as I did not see it on the blade in the picture
