Review: Excellent quality, design and funtion. - Bought this for my son who is a knife guy. He bought me a nice Biker Auto and I returned the favor with this. He and I both like this knife for the following reasons 1. Benchmade quality, warranty and free factory sharpening service. You pay 5$ postage and they sharpen to factory specs and return it too you 2. Quality steel. AUS8 is a good Japanese steel. It holds the edge and gets scary sharp. 3. Small form knife with a big bite. This is a slasher type blade with a chisel grind. Easy easy easy to sharper in the field. 4. Great size for concealed carry and it is a light agile knife easily handled by those with smaller hands. 5. Beautiful design. Good looking blade and handle design. Very asteically pleasing and functional. If you want Benchmade quality at a low low price, try this little fella out and see what you're missing
Review: I dislike the sheath alot - I dislike the sheath alot. Neck Carying this is dangerous due to the lack of tension. The knife is okay; I wish it were thicker metal

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost 5 stars
*by R***W on December 13, 2011*

This is a great knife! Simple, easy to pull out and put in, light weight, very sharp out of the box, beautiful. ONLY problem was the case/sheath. I had to buy a thin belt just to wear this knife around. Other then that it comes out easy and slides in nice.
