Wow, impressive knife - what a great EDC
Man what a great EDC. Why isn't everyone talking about this one. Geez! American made, priced point great, fits my hand nicely, jimping on the spine is perfect, my thumb just naturally lays on it. Quality control is on spot. No idea why this knife doesn't come up more in conversations but this is a lovely American made knife. Light but with heft to it. Love it.

It may not be my lost Benchmade, but…
I bought this knife to replace my old Benchmade that I lost. I have better knives for specific purposes, but needed something affordable and easy to sharpen for my everyday beater knife. I found this knife and thought it would fit the bill. I read some reviews that made me wonder about quality. While not as smooth as my excellent Kershaw Bellaire, after a little oil and use, it’s plenty smooth. I would say that its edge holding is on par with my old Benchmade 154cm and will sharpen with regular stones. Me biggest complaint is that the scales are completely smooth aluminum. When I pull it out of my pocket, it is more difficult to keep ahold of than other knives that I have. Some sort of texture to aid grip would greatly improve the knife. I understand that any added machine work would add to the cost, but would be worth spending a little more for. Mostly, I really like the knife. It is a decent price for what you get and it’s made in the USA! I suppose that there are comparable import knives but I’m sure glad to see an American company making nice knives that are affordable.
