Typical benchmade quality. About perfect as u can imagine. From the clip to blade coating a magnificent knife indeed. It's all pro..no con. Unless 200 dollars hurts your pocket.

Dull blade, otherwise excellent
I absolutely love this knife. Somewhat dull fresh out of the box. Uncharacteristic for Benchmade but it's an easy fix. Feels great in my hand, no blade play, solid construction, very strong opening with a loud thunk that makes me smile. Make sure you have good grip on it when deploying, it can easily "helicopter" right out of your hand. It does have the "red you're dead" safety switch so it's easy to know when the safety is on. Some of my automatics don't have that color coding which irks me a bit. In my opinion this knife is well worth the price.

Strong and durable
This is a great knife. Performs well. However, it came barely sharp. I can run my finger across the entire length of the blade with a fair amount pressure with zero fear of cutting myself. That's fairly dull and disappointing. I recently purchased a Kershaw Cryo 2 beater for work and it's easily twice as sharp. Also, closing it isn't the easiest one-handed, but that's not a real issue for me. The handle has a tiny bit of flex when you squeeze it, but doesn't feel fragile. The lack of a sharp blade kind of defeats the purpose of the knife, since it's supposed to cut.
