<p>I was looking at that on Ebay, but the values varied a bit for just NIB knives of the same model, I just want to put these with a collector if they value them more than me as just an EDC knife. The boys all have Kershaw Leeks, more knives is better:)</p>

<p>My wife is the person on Facebook in my house and I got approval for her to be on the Benchmade group, I need to post on there too but no time this week.</p>

<p>I would check the "sold" listings on Ebay for each knife.</p>
<p>That would give you a ballpark idea of there value.</p>
<p>Unless your sons are really into knives, I would keep these and maybe go for a nice Case knife as a graduation gift. Most dealers will engrave them for you (for a small fee).</p>

<p>I have a few feelers out there, and while no one seems to have seen this particular set, the general consensus thus far is *not* to have them engraved. One fellow has stated that there were probably very low numbers of these made. Possibly less than 5. I will keep you posted as I find more.</p>

<p>Ok, thanks for the response. Of course, this means I will have to go on Facebook:(</p>
<p>I won the set out of a contest run by Guns Magazine, I don't think there was any major significance to the "set" other than they were consecutive year second proofs.</p>

<p>This is a tough one. I can find absolutely nothing on this set at all. Normally, FPR's (first production runs) don't really affect the resale value on a knife unless it has a serial number that someone really wants. With the knife roll and the engraved blades...well, that could change things. As a set, I would have said to not touch them until you can get a solid answer on their value. With one missing, I can't see the set getting as much as if it were complete, obviously. I'll do some more…</p>

I'll do some more looking...but I would suggest maybe going onto a Benchmade Facebook Group and asking those fellows.</p>
