I've not been here all that long, but in the time that I have, I am constantly screening the For Sale forums for great deals. All but one of the knives below were purchased because of that in the last 5 months... I am officially addicted and need some intervention... In the mean time, if you need to get ahold of me, I'll be at the For Sale section!

How do you like the Bone Collector?

This was actually a user that I picked up that had some stains on the blade. I took the knife apart and soaked it in vinegar for a while to give it a patina look (and to get rid of the stains). Now the blade appears satin with a very, very slight patina. I sharpened it on my Wicked Edge and gave it a mirror polish on the bevel. I also lightly polished the phosphor-bronze washers with 2500 sandpaper and it's got a super silky smooth opening now. Feels almost effortless to open!

I've tried two other Benchmades before this one (755 MPR, and Contego) and they just didn't work for me. The jury is still out for me on the Bone Collector (I have a Rift coming next week to try as well...) but I will say that the grip of the knife feels great. It's somewhat beefy though. The blade design looks like it was made for slicing and it feels very stable in the hand and doesn't feel likely to provide many hotspots if any while using. I am not concerned about weight so much as I like bigger knives anyway but it's not a light knife. Lockup is very solid and there's no blade play at all. I think I am spoiled a bit by Titanium Frame Locks now. Seems like I've gotten to the point where that's all I want, even though there's absolutely nothing wrong with the Axis lock...
