  • Pretty Impressed
Color: Woodland Green 6061-T6 Aluminum - Cerako... Style: Plain Edge
This is the first Benchmade knife I've owned, so there's no fanboy bias here. The overall fit and finish is top notch. This thing feels so good in your hand it's amazing. It's very lightweight, but also is very sturdy and has no blade wobble and everything is perfectly aligned. The open/close action is smooth as butter, and the Axis locking system works exactly as expected. The factory edge on my particular knife was extremely sharp; was able to cut through thick plastic wrap without even exerting any pressure... just kinda lasered through it. As I use it more we'll see how good the edge retention is. The only negative thing I've noticed so far is that on the Woodland Green 6061 aluminum model I have, the anodizing when new was kind of a matte finish. But carrying in my pocket that matte finish is quickly wearing away to more of a traditional smooth anodized finish. Not a deal breaker, and hopefully with more use it'll end up an even texture across the entire handle. But right now there's some spots that are smoother than others. I tried getting a picture of it, but it's difficult to get one that clearly shows what I'm talking about. I'll try to update this review in the future since this is something that I'll be carrying / using on a daily basis. Hopefully it'll live up to the hype. ... show more

  • Excellent EDC
Color: Black Grivory - Cerakote Finish Style: Plain Edge
A great EDC knife, retains an edge well, is sturdy and can take some abuse, opens smoothly especially with some latex-based lubricant, and is overall worth the price.

amazing knife. Very lightweight and slim so it is easy to carry in your pocket. I don't even notice it is there. Blade is very sharp.

  • Best knife
Color: Black Grivory - Cerakote Finish Style: Plain Edge
This is an amazing knife I have carried this every day since it arrived. Stays extremely sharp. I have only had to use my leather strop once every week to keep the edges shaving sharp. I use it to cut any and everything. It’s lightweight and is hardly noticeable in my pocket because of the deep carry clip. If you use a knife every day buy this it’s amazing ... show more

  • Ideal EDC.
Color: Black 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum - Coated F... Style: Plain Edge
I own several Benchmade knives; really I'm not comfortable carrying anything else. The blade release is safe, the hand feel is spot on. I was interested in a flat edge and tried a Much smaller Benchmade offering. It seemed like it was made for a child. This is a proper tool. It feels perfect, immediately. I look forward to many, many years of dependable service from it as an EDC. ... show more

  • Bugout for larger hands!
Color: Ranger Green - Grivory Handle Style: Plain Edge
The Bailout is an improvement over Benchmade's Bugout for those of us with larger (2X) hands. I have the aluminum handle model too, but do not care for it's glass-breaker stud when using the knife. This model is more carry-friendly.
