I never was much for the Rift. My buddy JoeP loves his black and orange Cutlery Shoppe Exclusive and has plastered its pics all over BF. I was over at the Show Us Your Discontinued Benchmades thread and Ram pointed out a great deal on the 950-1 at KnifeCenter. On the next page Joe disclosed an even stupidly lower price at SMKW. I couldn't resist and pulled the trigger a couple days ago. Mine showed up today and I gotta say I'm really digging it. The reverse tanto on the 940 doesn't do much for me and I sold mine, preferring the 943 blade, but on the Rift I really like it. It almost seems more like a modified Wharny or Sheepfoot to me.
Anyway, it's a really solid, substantial knife right in the carry-size I favor. Nice satin blade with otherwise all blacked-out hardware. I'm fine with 154CM and it came with even grinds and screamin' sharp. It needs breaking in and is maybe a couple hundredths off-center presently, but it's a nice piece, well-made, and I carried it around for a couple hours this afternoon.
