Any idea when we can expect these to hit dealers?

 

[Mo2]

I thought -1's were the carbon fiber variants and -2 were g10? Ie 940-1 and 940-2 respectively.

 

[corey.lively]

I may have to pick up one of these!

We hope to be shipping these next month!

Depends on which order they are released in. The - indicates a handle variation (typically) and the 1 would indicate the first non-standard handle configuration for this model.

Ok. I’m just going to ask this now because we all know it’s coming. When will we see the mini version?

Exactly.

I am happy with my standard Freek (would have preferred this model, but no biggie), but would love a mini in this configuration!

 

[clearkevin]

Wow I must have this, I love the Freek so this is a natural purchase.

 

[NVswitch]

I also would love to see and mini version of this

The -1 Griptilians are G10.

Bravo B BKC Customer Service and @Benchmade I have my pre-order in!

This could be an improvement on the original for me.

The one issue that I have with the Freek is the sticky handle. Although it feels good in the hand even when sweaty, it sticks to my pocket when trying to get it out. It can be frustrating.

I got my pre order in. I'm excited for this one.

 

[BMCGear]

Pic is from an email Benchmade just sent out. I cannot wait to get this knife in hand!

 

[sharp_edge]

Is it just the visual effect but the handle looks very/too fat/thick?

Fat bottom girls make the rockin' world go round.

Definitely makes me forget about the new Ritter. This looks to be superior in every way!

I don't know that I would've bought the Ritter due to blade length/width but this one is a game changer.

 

[BruceMack]

It is beautiful. I'd like to wait on ordering to allow me to peruse reviews. Will this be a short-lived issue or something that will remain in the catalog?

This does feel like a response to that Ritter that was released. I like the new look of the freek and am excited to see how the new grips are gonna look!
