5.0 out of 5 stars only the finest, September 27, 2010

This is the first Benchmade knife I have own, and I must say, after going through lots of decent quality knives (like CRKT and Buck) because of blade chipping and whatnot, I am very happy to have a top quality knife. This is the perfect size for everyday use and is small and light enough to stay out of the way. After a couple of years of daily use this knife still hasn't chipped or noticeably dulled.

I have this knife in all-black. It's been my EDC for at least two-years now and I love it. I'm a lefty and like carrying in my left back pocket, tip-down. Easy one-hand operation -opening and closing. Keeps an edge well. Black on blade eventually wears a bit. Top marks for a great knife.

I had a bit of difficulty receiving this item. status said delivered but it was not at my residence. I do not know exactly what happened but Amazon customer service was wonderful and shipped one out to me promptly. After a week with this item I can definitely see the difference in quality and functionality that higher end knives like Benchmade provide. Great ergonomics and I love the way it rides low in the pocket. This knife is so light and easy to carry. My previous knife would constantly weigh down my pocket. Great knife, I look forward to years of duty with this fine tool.
