Benchmade Sequel

Anyone have one of these? How do you like it? Thinking about getting one thanks Z

I've played with one on several occasions.

I really liked it. It's a thinner, much nicer mini griptillian. Definitely a top pic for times when I'd like something more discrete.

Some people say it feels flimsy, but I couldn't relate. Of course, it's not going to be a Manix.

Actually, it feels a lot less flimsy, in the blade at least, than the 705 it replaced. And while the scales are thinner, they're still plenty solid.

I've owned two. I got rid of them both because I didn't like how dang close the thumbstud was to the handle. I could open it but not as easy as I had hoped.

Sweet, i think I'll get it then. it was either this or a griptilian. Thanks folks,Z

It's worth the extra $$ over the Griptilian....

Oh god yes, its head and shoulders above a Grip. Very sweet little knife.

It's the only BM I'd really like to have. I wish it had a lanyard hole, though...

I have two 705s and my son has a 707. I like the blade shape of the 707 better, and I also like the fact that it's thinner than the 705 (which has always seemed disporportionately thick for its blade length to me). YMMV.

... but not a simple one:

Walnut inserts instead of G-10, D2 steel... How can I purchase one? They don't ship internationally!
