This knife fits and feels great in my hand I am very impressed with the Benchmade knife I ordered.I’ve never spent more than $40 for a knife. I lost my previous EDC, a CRKT knife variation.After much reading and window shopping, I decided to order a SOG Aegis Tanto. But as soon as I removed it from it’s cheap store display packaging, I knew it wasn’t the knife for me. It was too light and felt cheap in my hand.

Good replacement Lost a benchmade I had for a few years. I was devistated.. it was my daily carry. We went through thick and thin together. I needed to replace it asap. I was going to get the same one but decided to get this based on reviews.This knife is smaller than my previous, it was sharp out the box. It will take some time to greive over the lost one but this one will do.FYI if you found a benchmade knife at homedepot in the parking lot that was mine……
Best knife I’ve owned Super sharp, flick open knife. Everything about it feels quality. The body is some type of nylon-glass polymer and feels like something in between plastic and carbon fiber. It’s as sharp as a knife can be and has been extremely useful on a daily basis.It weighs about as much as I thought it would weigh and is easily every day carry-able, however it is slightly heavier than previous edc knives I’ve owned. The locking mechanism is ingenious and unique to Benchmade (as far as I know)…
