    Welcome Wow…that’s quite a “reprofile”!  I think you’re looking at about $75 though.  Basically, the knife is only good for the scales.  Any buyer will be looking to immediately send it in to Benchmade for a blade replacement, and shipping will run you $15, and then the blade itself will be something like $150, but that’s just a guess, because it’ll need to be an m4 cerakoted blade since that’s a Custom Shop Barrage.  So fixing that guy up would be sinking $165-ish into the knife, and that puts you at $240 total for the knife.

    The secondary market is in terrible shape right now, so even at $240, that’s a VERY hard sell since you can get a Barrage 580bk-2205 jade g10/m4 NIB from KnifeCenter for $243…and that means you can find it on the secondary in LNIB condition for around $150.  And that’s a new knife that’s very close to your custom shop model - it loses your carbon fiber in exchange for ghost g10, but then again, it gains a unique Barrage backspacer that’s very hard to get otherwise.

    I guess tl;dr - GLWS, but I think you’d be better off advertising this as a scale sale at $60-$75 that happens to come with a corrosion-prone m4 “spike”.

    Hey Thanks for the info!

    I have never been accused of being "the sharpest knife in the drawer" (yuk, yuk)

    I did ask BM about blades the M4 was $90 and the S30V was $80

    I'll leave it up here and maybe someone will get close to my asking price.
