I would say this is a good knife the blade is great the handle is OK. It is a hollow plastic so when you flick the blade open and then closed it makes a annoying popping sound. The axis lock is fast and very smooth. I would say if your looking at this knife also look at the paramilitary 2 it is a great knife but it is not perfect but almost. If you could combine the two then you would have a perfect knife. The axis lock and the blade on this knife makes it worth buying the handle needs improving.

This has been a really good knife so far. I really like the hollow ground blade with the modified sheep's foot design, along with the "spydie hole." I was in the market for a new Spyderco, but decided to go with this instead, and while I do still want the Spyderco, of course, I am really glad I went with this knife. I prefer G10 handles, but the FRN handle on this is solid enough for me. This knife is insanely smooth, especially after breaking it in after maybe a week or so of playing with it. The blade even comes out by flicking your wrist, without even using the hole to assist you, which is impressive. The blade is extremely sharp right out of the box, I've even cut myself a couple of times since I spend so much time playing with it. I have large hands so I opted for this instead of the 555hg for EDC and it has been fine as far as EDC goes. I would have preferred a stainless clip instead of the black, but from what I've seen, it seems like most people prefer the black. I just think it's not worth it since it will get scratched up eventually, even though it does look better in the beginning.

Just like my other benchmade, this is a solid, very high-quality knife. As I've come to expect from Benchmade, it was _very_ sharp right out of the box. The Axis lock is the best-designed locking mechanism on the market.The picture in the listing is actually the mini-griptilian. This one is the full-sized version. It's a big knife, so if you have to wear a suit or slacks it might be a little big for everyday carry, but I wear jeans to work so it's fine.Can't say enough good things about the steel Benchmade uses. This knife takes and holds a _very_ sharp edge.
