PayPal SOLD$175SOLD shipped USPS
Knife comes in the original box with owners manual. Blade is mostly centered with the slightest hint of left-side preference. Factory edge is pretty straight and has never touched anything but my fingers to test sharpness (it's on the sharper end of what the factory puts out). Action is smooth with better-than-average bladeplay.
I will provide my PayPal address via PM.
Long-ish story of this knife:
This was my beater knife for several years. It was my go-to for construction, farm work, or anything else where I half expected a knife to break. I even chopped an 8" diameter tree down with it once, just to prove a point. After surviving the worst of what I could throw at it, I walked it into the Benchmade Factory about a year ago to have them address some fore/aft blade play. They ended up replacing the:
Liners
Axis lock bar
Omega springs
Blade stop pin
Glassbreaker (with the new style that doesn't break)
I did what most people with 810's do, and sanded the corners of the liners down a bit for comfort's sake. It then sat in my knife cabinet for about a year, as office life doesn't really require such a beast of a blade.
Fast forward to two weeks ago... I pulled the knife out to break down some boxes and I realized how sad the blade was looking. I walked it into the factory again to have them replace the blade, as it was pretty beat up and I had sharpened it so much that the stones were now beyond the sharpening choil and eating into the pivot area of the blade. Benchmade being who they are, did waaaay more than I had asked. As far as I can tell from the pictured invoice, they replaced the:
Blade
Clip
Omega springs
All hardware
Thumb lugs
As it sits, the only original piece on this knife are the G10 handle slabs.
