Lightweight and Sharp
Look Benchmade is expensive and at times does have their quality control issues, however, you do also get solid products and this one of them. If you are looking for a lightweight (1.9 oz) knife that can handle most EDC activities then this is a solid choice. Additionally, with Magnacut being one of those steels that will be a top tier choice for time to come, this seems to be a reliable choice. Also if you decide to go camping and or hunting it’s highly visible due to the orange coating and less likely to be lost. Either way it’s worth giving a try due to the weight (or lack their of it) and its blade quality.

Light weight but rugged
The carbon fiber handled tagged out is a wonderful knife for everyday carry and also for hunting. I'm using it for all types of tasks around the house and plan to use it for hunting this year. It's incredibly lightweight to carry in the pocket, but incredibly rugged and sharp and the perfect shape for hunting tasks.

I got lucky?
Judging by the other reviews, I got lucky. The knife is beautiful and super light. The blade centering is perfect, and the edge is great. If I had to nitpick I would say that it doesn't flick fast or easily. It'll get better the more it breaks in, but I'm not surprised about this with how light the blade is. The only other thing is it would be cool if the orange back spacer matched the blade, but they're different materials and coatings, so it doesn't bother me that much. All in all, super sharp, slicey and light.

LIGHT!
The design is like many hunting/skinning blades, nothing overly special or surprising there, the shape of the grip is very comfortable, the bright blade color is a big advantage for it's intended use, but the the greatest stand out of all is it's weight or it's almost total lack there of.

Quality Control
Just received the knife, the blade is completely off centered and the sharpening is not symmetrical.... For a 330$ knife, it is bad (where is the quality control Benchmade ?). Other than that, the knife is very beautiful and light.

Issues Benchmade shouldn't have
PROS: The blade is a very beautiful bright orange color and crazy sharp. Flicking open is very snappy and axis lock is nice and stiff. Very light weight and grippy solid carbon fiber handles. CONS: Extreme off centering, blade is all the way to the left Blade is very shaky when opened. A lot of side to side movement and if the axis lock is not flipped hard, you get up and down play. Unfortunately the backspacer is a completely different shade of orange and it doesn't match which bugs me. My manual benchmade adamas has side to side play, up and down play, centering is off and it gets loose after a couple flicks. My auto benchmade adamas has side to side play and the pocket clip rattles even when tightened down. I gave benchmade another chance but they have too many quality control issues at least for me.
