There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've long desired to have a quality fixed blade, but not just any would do. In fact, until now I never could find one that I could really drool over. Even the expensive ones felt like the extra money was going toward factors I wasn't interested in.
When I saw this recently online I knew it was the one. My favorite knife company, favorite steel, favorite handle material, ridiculously thick with a blade shape that screams rugged (I feel like I could use this as a prybar)... Quite simply, when you hold this knife it feels like you are holding excalibur. The G-10 scales feel like you could hammer a nail with them. It's really something special when you hold it.
While aesthetics are a personal matter, to me this knife has a timeless look... just beautiful. The handle to blade ratio, the profile, the amazingly robust grip... The grip style and color combined with the sheath make this baby look like it was handed down to you by Mick Dundee. The sheath is amazing by the way...
In my experience, knife specifics other than sharpness, durability, and size (and in some cases, grip style) play only minor roles in performance of various tasks. With that in mind, this is the best knife ever in my opinion for most fixed blade tasks. This may be geared toward "bushcraft", and I have no doubt after reading comments of other viewers that it has some great features for that... but for me it will simply be my excellent fixed blade knife that is useful for a multitude of tasks indoors and out....maybe even bushcraft.
Reasons why I love this knife! 1. It's sharp right out of the box...like wicked sharp. The steel keeps its edge very well and I haven't had to do more than brush over it with an ultra fine stone. 2. It's the perfect size for most bushcraft activities. Not just bushcraft...it's a great TOOL. I use it for everything a knife should do. I've even split wood with it. Now it's not huge like some of my other knives...(it's not like a BK9 or A1) it's small enough to carry in my pocket yet big enough for any job. 3. It is the perfect weight. 4. It's cool...yeah I'm a knife geek.
I also have to say the Benchmades customer service is the best around. One of my dogs ate the leather sheath and I called to have it replaced. I expected and was happy to buy a new one but they replaced it for free!
Btw...I love the leather sheath. Looks great with a rustic look and feel. I did oil it a bit. If u want to turn this into a tactical type of blade by the kydex version. Both are great
Finally....if you are debating about buying this knife don't hesitate and go ahead and purchase it. You will not get a better knife in its class...and it's at the top of that class! U get what u pay for and this is the best!

Prise en main bizarre au début, puis on s y fait
Acier au top
La solidité semble présente
L etui est joli , quoique un peu fragile dans l absolu ( attache fragile)
C est un bon produit, pour la chasse et la rando
De plus, pas facile à trouver
Merci fonc
Merci
Only drawback is the sheath that feels average instead of top notch (also it’s not ambidextrous which is annoying as I’m a leftie). I got a new sheath from a guy on Etsy so now I have an excellent sheath for an excellent blade.
Il coltello si impugna benissimo e il suo super acciaio è davvero eccezionale
Marca prestigiosa, unico appunto il fodero forse migliorabile, nel complesso davvero eccellente
It's stupid-sharp out of the box and feels awesome to hold.
The sheath is aesthetically pleasing, but not terribly practical.
Plus, re-sheathing the knife can be a bit tricky, as the blade can easily skip the plastic sheath insert and cut the leather, which is quite soft.
Since I bought it as a "collectable" it won't bother me.
But, if you plan to "hard-use" this in the field, I'd suggest looking for an aftermarket kydex sheath in order to prevent any accidental slices on the leather one.
This knife doesn't come with a fire-steel, but that can easily be purchased here for a few bucks.
Over-all, I really like the knife and am very happy that I bought it.
