IMO, it is a great deal. The quality is Sebenza level. I was really impressed.

To be honest, I have hundreds and hundreds of knives go through here. Occasionally one comes through that I just have to put in my pocket. This is one of those.

Derrick,

Thanks for the comparison picture. Is it really only 4.4 ounces? If the quality is that good I have to get one specially if it's that light for such a big folder.
 
Got mine last night. First impressions are I'm very impressed to say the least. Well, I think it's about awesome!

The comparisons to a Sebenza, quality wise are definitely justified. Mine is super smooth, great in every way, lock up, I could go down the list and it hits every mark!

The only surprise was how thin it is. Not necessarily a negative . Just from the few pictures available you can't really get a good sense of the overall thickness of the Ti Handles. Considering the weight though it would have to be.

What a great package. It really comes together as a standout on every level.

Ttook some quick pic's this morning but the lighting isn't that great because it's overcast but you can still get a sense of the smooth beautiful lines and overall design.

Wow, nice looking knife. So that lip on the lock bar is to keep the bar from traveling too far on the tang?
 
Thanks!

That's my guess. It presets the lockup. Have to say that was also unexpected as I hadn't seen that before. Wanted to get a close up pic of it to show others.

The pocket clip is also very unique. It almost gives the impression it's a part of the handle and not screwed on. At least that was my first impression even though you can see it's screwed on. Just feels like a part of the knife and not an attachment because it blends so nicely if that makes sense.

The MPR 755 and 7505 have that lock detail as well.

How do you like the clip?

Any comparison shots to show the thickness with some other knives?
 
Congrats pbcg! Very nice! Thanks for the pictures!

The light weight for such a big folder is what got me but mine won't arrive until Friday and I'm out of town!

Thin, light and I assume relatively narrow (seems a bit wider than 710) are major pluses. High quality would be the clincher. Very clean design!

I like the clip a lot. Only pocketed it once to get the feel.

Don't really have too many Frame locks to compare it to thickness wise. It seems thinner then expected. But not in a bad way. Today is overcast and gotten worse. When I have some better lighting available I'll try and get some comparison pic's up for you.

Thanks!

The quality is definitely there. For what it's worth I can't find any flaws and the overall feel in hand has to be felt to truly be appreciated I think.

Here's some comparison pic's. Sorry but the best I can do with the light I have.
Fraid K2 which is also pretty thin I think, the 761 & BM 530, the thinnest knife I own.

$330 for M390, thrust bearing washers, titanium, USA made, with BM's warranty. I think that about adds up nicely. Still exchange material for me haha! I'm seeing a, "carried a few times, has snail trails" deal for me.

LOL!

I hear you, better look for the "marks due to storage" deals. There the best!

Just stay away from the LNIB, only cut up a few boxes, took it apart to clean and sharpened but otherwise NEW.....
 
Those are great pics! Looks better and better. I received my shipping email. Bet I have mine by Friday. :D
