An Expensive Little Tank....
Rated 4 stars for Benchmade quality, "tacticoolness", fit and finish, and for just fun playtime (thumbstuds, axis lock, AND flipper!!!). Missing the 5th star because of the cost for a small (3.05"), weight (4.8 oz for a small folder) and COST! Since this is a relatively new knife, here are the specs taken from an ebay seller's site:

My background in the military, law enforcement and martial arts focuses on the defensive purposes of knives first and everything else secondarily. So I dont look for things to cut, baton, etc. I do collect knives and they tend to be larger in size 3.75"...
Great Knife
I bought this knife about a month ago. It's probably one of the best everyday carry knives I've ever bought.I was a little worried at first because its stainless steel but it is doing a great job of holding an edge. It is a very well balanced knife and the Axis flip lock is an awesome feature.The grip is also one of the best I have experienced. I look forward to every time I get to use it, and would recommend it to anyone.
I love my new pocketknife.
This is my first Benchmade and I am happy with my purchase. It's not too big for EDC, it's built like a tank, looks good, and it's the first axis lock "flipper" style knife they've made, which makes it a somewhat novel knife, above and beyond the fact it's a Benchmade. I'm sure someone can find a fault with it, but then there is always someone who can. As for me, this appears as though it will easily withstand what I will put it through and likely become a nice heirloom.
