SOLD shipped 2-day priority/insured. Paypal add 3.5%. This is probably Benchmade's best selling gateway knife, designed by famous Benchmade designer Mel Pardue. This is the old extinct style, lightly used, Benchmade 550 Griptilian Pardue Combo Edge with the oval blade hole (new ones all have round holes) and the stonewashed 440-C steel blade (new ones are 154CM steel). This 550 Grip is rust free, very clean, and the only wear I see is on the belt clip. It comes in a plain Benchmade box and I have written the info on the end flap. It is a great Benchmade collectible knife .
About the Knife...It has an Ambidextrous Oval Shaped Thumb-Hole Opener, Lightweight Molded Handle, Hollowground Blade, and Movable Carry-Clip. The blade is centered when closed.
