Any love for the BM 755 Little Beastie?

They stayed true to Shane siberts design of the clip on his custom MPR's. I never had a problem with the clip on mine but would have liked it to ride a bit lower in the pocket .
 
It looks like it should be standard issue to AT-AT crews. OK, there, I'm of the Staw Wars generation. I do like the knife, though I don't own it.
 
work AND play!

Pardon the mess...the light is the best in my junk room.
 
I love mine and have been suprised there has not been more love for this knife. I do agree the clip position and set up sucks but the rest of the knife is awesome.

Yea it is a great knife. I do like mine a lot.

I have no issue with the pocket clip but then , I don't have to wear slacks with those slanted pockets where everything falls out when ya sit down :D

The pocket clip IS tight but it's as good looking as any pocket clip made.
Mine will stay good looking forever because I took it off and use a short lanyard.
 
I had issues with my clip as well. I sanded down the G10 where it came in contact with the clip. It's smooth now so it won't shred my pants. I also thinned out the clip considerably to give it flex. Now it works like the clip was intended to.
 
The pocket clip design does take some getting used to, but if I'm not mistaken it's somewhat the same on the custom version. I have one of these little Benchmades. It's a solid little folder, but I must admit I have yet to put it to any use. I guess it just feels odd in my hand because of it's thickness relative to it's size. I just feel that a knife as thick as the Benchmade MPR needs to be a little larger to fill the hand.
 
I've owned BM 755 First Prod. #73 for about 8 months now and I love it. Definitely my favorite for showing off to friends. It is the thickest folder I've ever owned, but that only gives me the confidence that I can beat on it when necessary. I think the short blade + short handle combo actually makes it easier to carry.
Awesome Design from Sibert!
 
Mine has been a pocket pig, having driven many a fine knife from my EDC duties. Great edge - a cutter/not a slicer. Re-edged - with some time - on Sharpmaker white files. No problem with the neat Ti clip - it came off and stowed in the box, like all of my other folders' clips!

Stainz, a definite 755 fan!
 
Owned one,traded one. Its lock wasn't super secure ,easily falled light spine wacks even aftwr tightening pivot . The m390 really didn't do nothing for me ,I think it might of had a flawed ht because others rave about this steel.
 
Mine was iffy in the lock department until I took her apart and did a little work.

now it smooth as milk opening and closing , Z E R O blade play even if you yank on it and the lock works like a champ.
I did dye my scales black though. Looks way better I think.

Tostig -- how'd you die your G10? lets see some pics. I saw one of these in all black but haven't been able to locate another... maybe it was an original Sibert...
