BEST KNIFE I’VE EVER HAD
5 Stars
BEST KNIFE I’VE EVER HAD
Let me start by saying this. I’m your average knife guy. Many knives I’ve ever carried were given to me and cost me or someone else no more than $40. I liked some of them, but they either didn’t last long, were hard to sharpen, or didn’t feel good in my hand. I’ve held a couple benchmades in the past and loved all of them, so I decided to step in with them. Guys, this is night and day difference. It comes arm hair popping sharp, packaged beautifully, and comes with a microfiber bag. (Not sure why, but it does) Spending over $100 dollars is a big jump, I know. But for those of you out there like me, this is worth the investment. You’re buying a knife that’ll last forever. Plus you’re buying something that will always be on you, unlike many other purchases one might make for that kind of money. The other thing I’d like to address, some reviewers are complaining about the grip feeling “cheap.” Don’t get me wrong, they certainly could’ve used a better quality plastic/polymer, but this knife is intended to be light and comfortable to carry for any length of time, and it does that very well! I’d prefer this plastic over steel, which is less durable and less comfortable. I had a steel leatherman that I dropped on the pavement one time and the clip snapped off. The other thing, if you’re overly aggressive in deploying the knife, yup, it’s gonna get sticky. That’s your fault for flinging the thing open like mad man when you’re showing off for your mom. You don’t need to be gentle with it, just don’t be friggin idiot about opening it. This knife is a beauty, and I love carrying it, and will continue to use it for as long as I own it. Props to benchmade for keeping American manufacturing alive, and for making my money worth it and giving me the greatest knife I’ve ever owned. 🇺🇸
