Anything using this guy? Played with one the other day and really rather liked it...I can't put my finger on it, but something about it feels very refreshing in Benchmade's lineup.

Have the plain edge version. Its the recurve with the tanto that somehow seems....... beautiful and right!!! Dontcha tink so??
 
Zvis (BFC member Gator97) has a review of it here.

I'm not a fan of American Tantos, but for some reason modified tantos and/or nightmare grinds are appealing to me visually (a category I'd put the Gaucho in).
 
My favorite of all the NRA models. Osborne designs are well thought out.
 
I've got one, it's one of my favorite Benchmades. The size is nice, a bit smaller than their "full size" knives like the large Griptilian or 710 McHenry & Williams, and the odd blade shape is surprisingly useful. And it's definitely stylish, even to the average sheeple.

Ther closest thing to a complaint I have is that the scales could be a tad thinner, like on the similiarly-sized 940/941.
