Color: Sage Green Grivory - Satin Finish
I have wanted a benchmade for awhile and finally got one and this knife did not disappoint. It’s light and still very durable and sturdy. The package arrived promptly but that’s never been an issue. Was extremely sharp out of the box and I have already used it for several different tasks. Everyone says this knife is overpriced but please remember, if you’re considering buying one, that they want you to keep this knife for forever. If you ever find it not as sharp as when it first arrived, some of the steels can be difficult to sharpen with normal sharpeners, then send it to them and they will sharpen it for you and send it back. If anything mechanical happens, send it back and they with fix it. They truly make beautiful/functional knives that are of the best quality and perfect EDC. ... show more

    • Timely delivery and perfect size and weight for EDC
Color: Orange Grivory - Stonewash Finish
I love this knife's size, weight and color for EDC and outdoor activity. Nice and light to keep in your daypack and colorful enough to find is you drop it on the hiking trail or campsite.

The media could not be loaded. This knife is as light in the hand and easy to carry in the pocket as advertised. The blade was shaving sharp and the action was drop shut smooth with solid lock up right out of the box. I find flicking the knife open with my thumb to be very natural and needed zero break-in. The grivory (plastic) handle scales do have some flex. To me on a knife with a sub three inch blade that's not a big deal because the smaller size limits how much it flexes and because this isn't supposed to be a hard use knife. The handle is very slim but still comfortable with enough texture for a secure hold without being abrasive. It's just big enough for me to get a four finger grip. I wear a men's size large gloves, so those with big hands may find their pinky hanging off the end. The small pocket clip is my favorite style that Benchmade has and is very easy to get in and out of the pocket. Because the knife sits so deep in the pocket with this clip you get security knowing the knife won't come out and also a discrete appearance. I love buying American made products and am very happy to support Benchmade with all their knives made in Oregon. From a price standpoint Benchmade charges a premium even among American knife makers, so I can't call it a amazing value, but the price tag isn't so high that it's unreasonable. For a quality sub 3 inch bladed, lightweight, American made knife in my opinion this is the top of the heap. ... show more

    • Good small knife, a bit pricey though.
Color: Orange Grivory - Stonewash Finish
It’s a small, but serious knife. Required a bit of work to make it perfect. There’s very-tiny bit of blade play (normal for benchmades) and blade was off-center folded. Proper alignment of the blade fixed both play and misalignment when folded. Just unscrew scale screws while putting pressure on the blade and screw back, don't touch axis bolt. Also required a bit of fidgeting/breaking in to get action smoother. Will probably install a back-spacer to get it a bit more rigid. Was not very sharp OOB, but took a wicked hair popping edge just fine. A bit overpriced, but still ok. It’s a US made, pretty knife that can be perfect if you put a bit of time into it. ... show more

    • Just buy it
Color: Orange Grivory - Stonewash Finish
I lost my mini bugout last year. I had to get another. It’s the perfect size for every day use. It came hair-pooping sharp, and everything is tight and solid. It’s worth the expense.

    • Expensive but unbeatable
Color: Black CF Elite - Cerakote Finish
Review Image by Joe Arquilla Joe Arquilla
Truly amazing in every way. For a blade that seems to float out of your hand you can feel the quality and precision. I think it’s unbeatable. Having given it praise, it’s still too expensive. This would be a perfect offering at $125. Typical Benchmade pricing. Regardless, you won’t regret the purchase. ... show more
