I like them but they aren't set up for lefty carry. Which is a bummer and a no go for me.

They are nice and have a great grip on them. They cut like a breeze and really ergonomic. The G10 is really grippy and feels great in the hands. It's an awesome blade and you won't be disappointed

Thanks, bro. On my particular knife, no matter how much I have thus far loosened the pivot, blade play has not shown it's ugly face, whatsoever. As I mentioned in a former post somewhere on this forum, of which I was not the OP, if its detent wasn't virtually non existent, when the action is kept smooth and fast, it would perhaps be my favorite folder. I am an avid owner, user and admirer of Benchmade. But, they've once again shocked and puzzled me, by the lack of detent when adjusting the action to be optimum for the many users who prefer lightning fast and silky smooth engagement of the blade. More on that later, as it is a natural segue to an interrelated but extremely positive attribute of the knife.


I'm going to try to free up some time to compose a relatively brief, proper review for the OP, hopefully, tonight.

This is the same knife with the top green g10 layer removed.
