Benchmade 201+ experience please

[fallingspeaker]

Good evening, been reading the site for the past few days and am looking towards the purchase of my first fixed blade knife.

I've narrowed it down to Alaskan guide vanguard s30v, fallkniven f1, ontario rat-3 but have just recently seen the benchmade activator plus (201+).

Does anyone have any experience with the BM? Is there any general comparisons to be made to the other 3 knives I mentioned.

Thank you everyone for your time! (Sorry did not search, my IE cookie setting is not letting it work properly).

Edit: Sorry forgot to mention, Purpose will be for general use hiking possible camping and light chores. It's my first knife in a long long time. I've had a bunch of junk ones before, but my first "real knife" was a SAK my dad gave me when I was real young. Used it a lot back then.

Edit: Edit: Meant activator, not aviator

First off...... welcome to BF. You are in the right spot for bush blades :thumbup: . I have no experience with the BM.... however I do have with the Fallkniven F1.

For a production blade, you will have a hard time finding better. I have used, carried, sold, traded, and just plain molested many..... but the F1 top notch in my opinion.

Glad you're here. Good luck:thumbup:
