Superb knife in imposing and contoured blade. The first home has Benchmade receiving what remains the best locking system: lock the axis. We can never do better it seems to me that it does. the deployment of the blade is ultra fast, the closure is a feast of fluidity and is almost noiseless. it's downright addictive, you spend hours playing with! this model is not the only Benchmade has dispose of the axis lock (you can love the griptilian, whose handle is a little more ergonomic) but I love his look, his mouth. It really is a beautiful knife.
