Ditto! M390 or s110v. Preferably M390, as Benchmade already has the heat treat for it down very well, and I'm already familiar with how it behaves in the field during use and on my Edge Pro when sharpening.
 
I got my new 950BK-1401 Rift Saturday. It's a beautiful knife. Should there be any "wiggle" from the blade when I hold the handle tight? My other Benchies don't have this play. Will it get worse with use or better with use? Should I send it back for them to have a look?
 
tighten up the pivot a bit. on some of my benchmades, a quarter turn can be the diff between too tight and blade play

M390 would be nice,not too sure of S110V as it's a weird beast,trying to sharpen it is a really task.Still learning how to sharpen it.The edge characteristic are unlike any other blade steel that I've encountered.Back to the 950,I wouldn't mind some S35VN.
