Review: I cannot say enough about how much I really do love this knife. As a person that has spent the last 22 years slowly learning what to look for when trying to find a knife, believe me when I say that this is one is easily among my top 3! I do not buy knives based off of name alone (but i do love almost everything about Benchmade knives...except the price!) but I am a rather demanding person who typically uses my knives more than most of my coworkers. Here's my Top 3 breakdown in case anyone is wondering: Top 3: #1 - Benchmade Bedlam 860 Knife, Scimitar (this is my standard go to knife for just about everything #2 - Katsu Razor Knife #3 - Benchmade Infidel Automatic OTF (not a particularly useful knife but the quality and blade strength are amazing...plus it's an OTF!) Pros: - Sharp as hell out of the box! Can shave your arm and leave it feeling smooth as butter. - Small enough to easily be considered an every day carry (EDC) knife - Easy to sharpen - Very unique look. Honestly resembles a straight razor - Deploys from closed to open and back very quick and smooth Cons: - Could use a little stiffer mechanism to keep the blade in the closed position. This bad boy will open with the slightest bit of effort which manages to be both a good and a bad thing. Also: - Blade will dull quickly with heavy use. I would not consider this a heavy duty utility type blade; however; it will have zero problem cutting anything as long as the blade is sharp (duh). But....because it is such a breeze to resharpen this is hardly an issue. - Makes a terrible hammer! Well there ya go. An amazing knife at an equally amazing price! Believe me when I say you cannot go wrong with this blade!!
Review: Not bad for the price. Really a 4.5 star rating. Might change the rating to a 5 star based since the build to price ratio is comparable. Feels light and ergonomic. Definitely EDC style. Bamboo design helps fingers wrap into the grooves. Tighter tolerances than expected. Blade doesn't wiggle at all. Locks solidly. Great thumb rest along the spine. Blade comes razor sharp out the box with a better than expected grind (resembling typical Japanese kitchen knife tapers). Very smooth action unlike the carbon/titanium one which costs ~3 times the price. I can see myself getting use to the deployment, but not my cup of tea. If you like this type of deployment, you'll enjoy this knife.

A: G10 is a thermoset plastic laminate. It is built using high pressure on layers of fiberglass mesh cloth that are impregnated with an epoxy resin binder.

*by J***X on 8 February 2024*

The knife is sturdy, sharp, and lovely for EDC. It comes with two carrying cases. It’s a nice knife, but a bit pricey. I collect knives and have bought all sorts of different blades and I find that this knife falls a bit short considering it being around $53 after tax, not including shipping. I have knives that are roughly half the price that perform and look just a nice if not better than this knife. It’s still a good knife and will be a nice little new addition to my collection, but just a little warning for those who are on a budget.
