My wife doesn't like gold plated fixtures in bathrooms and says this is even worse. Beauty is in the eye, so to speak. :rolleyes:

Looks like a movie prop for a cocaine baron. (not an insult) It's gaudy and threatening at the same time.

I like the unique look and the "hand beveled blade". But for $1100 there are other knives I'd much rather own.
 
I love Benchmade knives but for some reason have never really been drawn to the Gold Class knives. I'm sure cost has a lot to do with it.

However, this one may just be the exception.

I think it's absolutely beautiful! Both a work of art as well as a substantial knife.

I need to stop looking at this thing. I think it's hypnotizing me. I feel like Gollum staring at The One Ring.

We wants it. I mean ....I want it.

Nah man, that thing looks like it belongs in a cartel owners collection. Blinged out and pimped out gold plated handguns, AKs, and other such goofy paraphernalia.
 
This knife reminds me so much of the kind of narco-bling you see at the Museum of Narcotics in Mexico City.

Gold, gold-plating and studded with precious jewels. Very gaudy!

Gaudy indeed. Must be worth a fortune.

The handle of the 757-151 has "marbled" cf. I wonder if that is a process done to standard cf or if it's a particular type of cf ?
