Nice Knife
Great knife, comes out superfast, the switch is a little hard to push and pull but I think it will get better. I like the rough sides; it helps hold on to it. It is an expensive knife, but worth the money.

Well built, very little play, great looks
Received this Knife today and so far I love it. For a OTF it's pretty tight. It looks great in the cool gray. My wife doesn't understand how a fidget toy can cost so much though.

Decent OTF
Great OTF in a premium color combination. Not what I expected in quality when it comes to Benchmade or as an OTF but it works very well. Edge retention is nice for everyday tasks. I noticed I wasn't the only one with some blade play for its price point. I've had a failure to fully eject only once but I was fidgeting with the button. Something worth mentioning that bugged me was the Grivory handles, it feels a little cheap but I'll admit it hasn't cracked at all and is very light. I've never had or used Grivory, but I feel like the price point should be cheaper knowing the handles are made of metal. Overall a good knife.
