[ChillerMetal]

This knife is very new, I really like the design, but what im wondering is if anyone has bought it or handled it? Your imput would be great!
Also, which would be a better carry(size doesn't matter on this one) benchmade 757 vicar or spyderco paramilitary 2?
Thanks all!!

I got it in a local knife store yesterday. I wasn't prepared to be impressed as the knife looked really bulky in pics, vids, and even inside the display case in store, but as soon as I picked it up I couldn't put it down. It feels sturdy with just the right amount of heft and bulk. The execution is perfect, perfect lock up, centering, grind, edge. They even thoroughly stonewashed the liners and carbidized the lock face. Action is silly smooth, to the point that I thought it rides on bearings, but it doesn't.

My only complaint is the use of stacked G10. I see no benefit in that and if nothing else, they could have used one piece of multi color G10.
