Great Knife

Perfect size for the pocket. Another Benchmade gem

Good But Not Great

I have an Osborn 941 and a couple of Bugouts. I thought this would be somewhere in the middle, but it does not impress me. It is a nice knife, but it is chunky, and the action is nowhere close to the 941. Unless you are a Benchmade collector, I would pass and get a different knife. I did return this knife.

Not Your Dad’s Boy Scout Knife

The Bad: handle feels very cheap and plastic. The Good: great opening action, blade locks firmly in place, sharp right outta the box, handy dandy pocket clip. This is the full size version. Blade not too big, not too small but just right. The knife has cut through everything I’ve thrown at it. Cleans easy when dirty. It’s definitely an awesome EDC. I would have given it 5 stars but the grips feel like cheap plastic. I will probably change them to Allen Putman grips or Flytanium.

Benchmade Makes Great Knives!

I purchased this knife about a month ago and I am extremely happy with it however I’ve owned Benchmade knives throughout the years the only issue is that I keep losing them.

Solid Knife

This I a great size for me. I like a knife that fits the hand and has a good blade size. It light be a little too big and bulky for some that want to edc but it is the perfect size for my wants.

Great Knife. A Bit Larger Than I Need

I bought this as my first large (over 3 in) benchmade knife. I had previously purchased the mini bugout. I really liked the blade on this but ended up returning it due to it being a little larger that I need.

Solid Blade, Extraordinary Locking Mechanism

3rd benchmade blade ive purchased, happy with every single one. Just need to stop losing them. I love how you can send it back to benchmade to complete the sharpening of the knife when it gets dull.

Excellent Knife

This is my first Benchmade knife and I must say that I am in love. I decided upon the standard Griptilian instead of the mini version, while this is still a lightweight knife it is a little large for my EDC preferences but I can't fault them for that.
