Amazing knife! Super sharp right out of the box, plus Benchmade will sharpen it for free for as long as you own the knife. Blade is very easy to deploy with thumb studs. Axis lock is my new favorite locking mechanism; itâs so simple to retract the blade. I constantly play with the knife, opening and closing it. Pocket clip is strong. Durable 154cm steel. Super lightweight. Handle feels fantastic in the hand; great traction without tearing up your pockets. Absolutely love this knife!
All around great. This is a perfect example of a perfectly balanced knife. I own a lot of benchmade knives and this one is the best for your buck. 154cm steel allows you to give this knife a hard beating between sharpening, I actually have not had to sharpen mine and i have owned it for a little more than a year with regular use. Personally, I wish that this knife had a rubber grip on the sides of some sort, because it is not as grippy as I would like, but its good enough. Incredibly sharp, opening and closing this knife can be done with the greatest of ease using one hand with practice.It feels like cheap plastic, but it can be dropped really hard on cement and its always fine. So in short, this is a light, high quality, everyday use pocket knife that can be used and used without worry of damage. AND its cheap!!
Great price on one of my favorites!!! I love this knife and I love Benchmade. This was a great price. I bought my last Benchmade at my local gun store and am kicking myself for paying so much when I should have started here. I learned my lesson.
