WHAT A KNIFE.
I purchased this knife because I have the other crooked river knife. The balance, beauty and workmanship of the benchmade product keeps me coming back. Thanks.

Perfect
I purchased this knife for edc and harde chores around worksites. So far it has performed much better than I expected. The edge was super sharp out of the box, lockup is stiff, there is absolutely no wiggle in the blade, every thng is nicely fitted, and best of all zero hotspots so far. Almost bought the mini because some complained about the large size, but I'm glad I didn't. This is a perfectly managable blade good for large and smaller tasks due to the wide belly and sweeping tip and isn't to heavy or large in the pocked despite its size. Overall impressed and happy with the purchase.

Great knife a little stiff out of the box but once you work it, it smoothed out now very slick open and closing Love the look good grip very sharp. Love the Hunt Knives.

Last Benchmade for me
This is a great looking knife, better than anything I could come up with using their custom builder. Better materials also. Unfortunately, my knife has such bad lock stick that it is actually stuck in the open position. I have been collecting knives for years, this is not user error but a fatal flaw from the factory. It will be going back and I am done with Benchmade. Prices have been going up while quality is down for a few years now.
