It's a great knife. This was my first with S30V and my first AXIS lock. Both are amazing. It comes razor sharp and holds an edge. I've carved a lot of cardboard and while it doesn't shave my arm hair very well anymore, it can very easily push cut paper.
The AXIS lock is amazing. It's very strong and super convenient for one hand use. It takes a little practice, but then it's really easy. I loosened the pivot 10-20 degrees to get that nice fall closed action and love it even more now.
The whole knife is super lightweight, especially for a 3.25" knife. The handle scales are a nice balance of slimness and ergonomics. It's not the most comfortable knife I have but it's not bad at all. It disappears in the pocket.
Overall I'd definitely recommend it. The mini Bugout came out a few months after I bought this, which is a bummer. I'm not sure which I would have chosen otherwise.
I really like Benchmade's blade lock mechanism. You can close the knife with one handle and not put any of your fingers in the collapsing blades way. It arrived very sharp, so be careful when hacking it. I highly recommend this knife.
