I’ve been a knife nerd since childhood, and I think this little pocket knife is my all time favorite. For me it’s the perfect size, disappearing in my pocket but with enough blade length to slice an apple or tomato. It’s light, yet has enough heft to inspire confidence in its construction. It handles a three finger comfortably, the clip completely unobtrusive, the texture perfect for gripping. The blade shape is suitable for almost any task and looks great.
My knife came quite sharp, with a toothy edge that would probably satisfy most folks. I refined it on my Wicked Edge, going to 17 degree polished edge, and finishing with a .25 diamond spray. It took an incredible edge.
I’ve had my eye on this guy since Benchmade announced it, and I’m thrilled to finally own it. It’s an absolutely fantastic EDC pocket knife.

Really nice knife!
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.
