I have a Benchmade automatic knife. It has no markings on the knife anywhere except for the words Benchmade USA and BALI-SONG written inside of a butterfly.
Here is a picture of it. I am curious as to what model this knife is and it approximate value. It is in brand new conditon but the knife is probably 10 years old.

No worries - and thanks.
I googled the reflex and that is what it looks like. Probably the reflex and not the mini as my blade is a little over 4". The weird part though is all the reflex/mini reflex's I see have pocket clips. This knife does not have a pocket clip or even the screw holes to mount one. |

Did some more searching. It is a Benchmade 2000 Reflex.
"Benchmade's 2000 Reflex is the largest automatic knife ever manufactured by the company. It's blade is a full 4 inches long. This makes it a noticeably bigger knife than any of the current U.S. military issued Benchmade automatics. The 2000 Reflex was discontinued a few years ago. When it was still available, Benchmade's marketing literature indicated that the butt end of the knife could be used as a blunt instrument striking weapon. The Reflex 2000 has achieved somewhat of a cult status following because of its size and early pioneering design. The Reflex 2000 was designed and manufactured before having pocket clips on knives was popular. Therefore, the Benchmade Reflex 2000 does not have a pocket clip and was instead meant to be carried in a belt sheath. Another way in which the Reflex 2000 shows its age is that it's blade and sheath both wear Benchmade's old "Bali Song" logo design." |
