I am putting one on pre-order tomorrow. Anyone else like this knife? I'm going with the BK plain edge.
 
What is the ETA on this thing, and what's the street price?

I am really interested in the design (loved the rift) and wouldn't mind trying out the CPM M4!
 
I've been waiting on a sprint Rift in a nice steel like M390 or CPM-M4, so this with extra blade length makes it perfect, I plan on a satin/PE.
 
Yeah, another BM to get. It's going to be a nice, solid knife especially with a weight of 5.92 ounces. I'm also liking the fact that it has the thicker stock blade at .156". Here's the rest of the specs for this one;


Specifications
Overall Length: 9.28"
Blade Length: 3.98"
Blade Thickness: 0.156"
Blade Material: CPM-M4 Powder Steel (Carbon)
Blade Rockwell: 62-64HRC
Lock: Axis Lock
Closed Length: 5.30"
Handle Thickness: 0.55"
Handle Material: Black G10
Weight: 5.92 oz.

Wow. Those stats are amazing. Cpm m4 4" blade with 0.156" thickness and only 130 dollars and less than 6 oz??? Bm has outdone themselves this time.

I'll absolutely be picking one up. Given the price, size and materials it sounds like they've got a real winner.
 
Not to get anyone's hopes up, but FYI, the "center" has these listed as expected in March 2012!
 
This will be my first Benchmade purchase in almost a year. This looks like the one contender that could kick my old standby out of my pocket.
 
I have a preorder in for a plain edge satin blade, or plain edge black blade......whichever get's there first!!
