I have been looking at this style of blade since the KaBar came out but never pulled the trigger on the purchase. Now that BM has a similar model I'm thinking about it more. Does anyone have one or both the KaBar and Azeria to compare? All I get from other reviews is buy the KaBar and save the money but honestly I don't mind spending the extra money.

Ive never owned the KaBar so I suppose my opinion might not be the most informative in terms of comparison, but the Azeria is definitely a sweet little knife. Mine came razor sharp out of the box. The sheath is pretty decent, though it seems like you need a large-ish belt for it. I ended up switching the clip on the sheath to a lefty and keeping it on the inside of my waistband to use for when in go trail running. The price is definitely on the more expensive side, but so are most benchmades. If you don't mind spending the extra money I think you would be satisfied

Great little blade!
I got a kydex sheath and wear it horizontally on the belt, or just keep it in my pocket, because the whole package is so small.
It's a 3-fongernhandke for me, so I added a knotted paracord lanyard for my pinky.
It's a heavily canted Wharncliffe. It actually makes a kick-ass utility blade!
Often overlooked. Super stainless. Great tip, thin slicey blade!
