I use the knife for special functions and outings. Not everyday use. I'm going to buy another for everyday use, as I pack a knife all the time.

Amazing knife
This is one he** of a well built knife! It’s rock solid yet not too heavy for daily carry on a duty belt or vest. I’ve never had any issues with the springs in these. Benchmade charges a little more but they always work. Well worth it, peace of mind! Go Benchmade!!

Great American blade
I recently purchased this knife for myself for EDC use and love the button deployment, handle style and its comfortability. This knife is outstanding. It came razor sharp out of the box, A true Benchmade classic. I have it in my Left front pocket, the lock is kept on for most days and is very r you secure until I need to deploy the blade. I love the pocket clip on this model too, Very easy for pocket insertion.
