I love my 484 although my 940 seems to knock it out of the pocket most days. I have to watch the thumbstuds catching on my pocket (seems to mostly be the inside one catching on the bottom of my watch pocket on my jeans). I've learned to grab it in such a way so my hand holds the blade in as I pull it out. The thumb studs are also problematic for opening the knife as they are too far away from the scales and are smaller than most of BM's other studs. I actually have better results flicking it open using my middle finger on the bottom. Still a great knife that could be made better in a few ways but it gets many things right. It's more of a 2-handed gentleman closer than a flicker. I don't regret buying it but it could use a v2.0
+ Blade shape, great blade for close-up work
+ G10, love BM's smooth G10
+ M390 is awesome, stone finish is great.
+ Solid feeling, no drilled liners adds to the weight but it's not unpleasant to carry
- not a huge fan of finger grips, they work for a good grip but not really necessary on this size of knife
- took a bit too much off of G10 near top of clip so there is less room to stick a finger to keep it out of way of blade closing
- thumbstuds could be bigger and closer to scales
