i just received one of these, and its pretty impressive. this knife is a beast, its much larger than i realized. very big knife in a slim package. i got the tanto version.

nutnfancy has a new review of it here

Did the edge come sharp? In nutnfancy's video he said his version came with almost no edge at all as he illustrates by running his finger up and down it with no problem. To me that is unacceptable even in a "economy" knife such as the Ascender. I don't care how easy it is to throw an edge on there, in my book a manufacturer (especially one like Benchmade) should never ship a knife without a sharp edge on it. Period.
