Benchmade Barrage with M390 Steel
I own about 6 or 7 benchmades and they all have their strengths all of them are good quality and I do love playing with the slide lock types by flicking it open and closed with just a little wrist motion. This assisted open will be nice to use and I already love this knife. It has my favorite point and lets face it the steel is awesome. I never let my knives get so bad that I need to re-profile or even do heavy sharpening. I really like the Fallkniven hand sharpener for the fine side it works like a dream if you know how to use it. I've heard a good deal of folks bad mouth that little sharpener and I just laugh thinking they never really gave it a chance. I also like the buck diamond sharpener the little thin one that weighs nothing and also works like a dream. This is one of benchmades best folders IMO and will be a great EDC. So now it gets to alternate with my Freak and Spyderco Endura 4 with ZDP - 189 as that is one hell of a knife as well and for only 120 also a great deal. I am never a fan of anything that starts with mini so only full sized knives for me.
