I'm moving into a new place, so I need to liquidate some of my collection for security/deposit, furnature, etc.
Some of these knives have collectors value which I might not be exactly accurate on. If these knives don't sell, I'll gradually reduce the price on them until they do sell. Please don't post offers here; I'll entertain and accept private offers, but this isn't an auction site (or reverse auction site) so let's keep anything of that nature private.
Unfortunately my camera isn't working (no idea why), so pictures aren't immediately available. I'll do my best to describe them with words.
1. PCC 68 (I think). The guy who sold it to me said it was a PCC 10, but it's not. It has a 3" hollow ground utility blade, hidden pins, and countersunk holes. Looks just like the 68 at Balisongtimes. Condition is good, not excellent. The tip is slightly rounded/dulled from the latch hitting it, but it's not badly damaged. Easily sharpenable. There's some slight scratching on the handles, nothing too deep (probably could be polished out with a buffer). Latches up tight enough closed, nice and tight when opened. Includes sheath, but no box. Asking $90. Sold.
2. Benchmade 43 T-latch. Very good condition. Flipped some, but never used/sharpened/carried except maybe as a letter opener. No visible scratches on the blade or handles. There's some markings on the bottom of the handles/latch area like you'd expect to see on a T-latch Bali-Song that's been flipped. Includes original box and sheath. Asking$190.Sold.
3. Benchmade 42 T-latch. Older style with 12C27 Sandvik steel (I think). OK condition. This knife wasn't in particularily great condition when I bought it, and I've since used/flipped/sharpened it (on an EdgePro). It's not the nicest 42 you'll find, but's a great beater if you're worried about dropping your new 154CM 42, and it's priced right. Includes original box and sheath. Asking $85 $80 Sold..
4. Benchmade 42MC (original run). From a couple years back. This was my first balisong, and it has seen lots of use and carry, and has been resharpened many times. Lots of "character" marks. Still flips as great as it ever did (and better than some of my newer Benchmades). Great user/beater knife. Includes original box. Asking $95 $90. Withdrawn.
5. Benchmade 42MC (LE run). I bought 3 of these. I'm using one, have already sold a second, and now I'm selling the third. This is from the Limited Edition (marked as such) from about a year ago, 440C blade. Absolutely NIB. Asking $150.
6. Benchmade 41SS LE. Lightly flipped, but still excellent/like new condition. Includes original box and sheath. Asking $150.Traded.
7. Benchmade 42C (12/100). The 42C is not only the first Benchmade Bali-Song with a pocket clip, it's also the first introduction of their revolutionary Spring Latch. These first spring latches are different than the current production ones in that instead of a rounded indention in the handle, there's a square section milled out, with a square section on the latch that it fits in. The functional difference is that this older style spring latch can't be "thumbed off" and can only open by squeezing the handles. The knife is in very good/excellent condition. There are some light marks on the handles but I'm pretty sure they're tool marks rather than from handling. I'm not the first owner, so I can't vouch for that completely. I've never carried the knife or used it to cut anything, and judging by everything else on the knife (other than those light marks) any previous owner(s) has never carried or used it either (again, I'm guessing, but pretty sure). I have lightly flipped the knife, and I have to say that out of every Benchmade balisong I've owned short of the 43-401, this 42C is the smoothest, tightest flipper. Blade is razor sharp. Includes original box/sleeve and aluminum presentation tin. Asking $275 $265 $255 $245.
8. Benchmade 43-401 (#42). This one really hurts. I don't want to sell it, for obvious reasons (plus I'll be splitting up my consecutive #'d pair), but my situation demands money. Because it's so dear to me, my price might be higher than "market" value, but I'll sell it if I can get my asking price. This knife is NIB with the original sheath by Leatherman. There are some tool markings on one of the handes as I received it from EDCKnives, but the knife is NIB, unused, and unflipped. Asking$475 $465 $460 $455 Sold..
9. Microtech Tachyon. Stonewashed blade, serial no. 1297, dated 07/2002. This knife has been flipped by me (purchased from private seller NIB) and perhaps used as a letter opener. No scratches on the handles, but there's typical damage/markings on the latch area that you would expect from a balisong that's been flipped. Includes sheath and original box w/matching serial no. Asking $275 $265 Sold.
10. Spyderco SPOT. VG-10 blade, black micarta handle overlays. Serrated edge. Asking $65.
All prices include shipping via USPS Priority mail w/delivery confirmation. Insurance is extra. If you buy mutiple knives, subtract $5 for each additional. I can accept cash Paypal and USPS Money Orders. I can do credit card Paypal, but I ask that you add 2%. Understand that because of the nature of these knives I cannot deliver outside the USA.

Please note that I'm posting these knives at at least 2 other forums. Therefore, I will only accept offers by email so that I can be fair to everybody. This precludes statements of "I'll take it", even on CPF where "I'll take it" is the norm for first offer.
Thanks for looking.
