PVK had some 1980's Balisong for 300.00 and sold out. And if it is a Jody Samson then it will go alot higher to a collector.

I'm not an expert but that should be the ballpark.

Since i would consider myself the Benchmade/pacific Cutlery/Balisong expert of arfcom i will step in here.

It sounds like an early production benchmade and not a custom, since it actually says benchmade. Benchmade made a bunch of cheaper balis in the late 80's and early 90's that sold for $35-$50 each back then.

Depending on construction and materials used it would be worth $100-$150.

Take a look here and see if you can find the model number,

Benchmade catalogs

And the old baliosng tha PVK had are very overpriced.

Thanks for the info SAM7A1....I remember some of those catalogs.


By the way is there a listing of the older out of production Benchmades? I'm starting to collect the larger folders.
