More Benchmade Reviews! This time it's the big ol' glory knife. Let me just say, this is one of the best fix played I've played with!
Just an overall shot of the knife. I love the recurve to the blade and how the handle looks!
Close up of the logo on the front of the blade. This knife was designed with the military in mind, specifically Marc Lee, the first NAVY SEAL to die in Iraq.
The handle is G10 with a coating on top. What this coating is, eludes me at this moment. But, it's very comfortable to hold, and even has a dual choil that is comfortable! There is a flat butt to this knife with a lanyard hole in it. This could easily be used as a glass breaker or impact tool.
Back grip. Using the choil on the handle only. Great for chopping.
Holding a little farther forward, using the blades choil. This is a great position for more precision work.
The opening to the sheath. The inset is very easy to drop the knife into, and holds onto the blade just the right amount. The snap is also Velcro adjustable. There are two snap/Velcro belt loops.
The lanyard at the bottom can be used to tie to your leg for a more secure fit. The whole thing is also MOLLE compatible.
I really liked this knife. The MSRP is at $350, but you can find it online for $50-$100 less with just a quick Google Shopping search. This is designed to be either a collectible due to the extra work added for Marc Lee, or as a heavy duty work knife that is ready for swamp, woods, tundra, desert, or jungle.
