Benchmade did a great job with these knives, which are geared for the sporting market, but they are not cheap in any part of the design. The beautiful stonewashed N680 blade is easy to sharpen as intended, and the midlock is very strong. Comes with silver screws and clip making the knife easy to clean but nice looking as well. Now if these ever came out in black instead of the intense orange I would buy two.
For the price point, these 'Landslide' knives are in the gotta have one category. They open the door to other lockback models in the future, which I would welcome, and if so maybe offered in higher quality steel. Please!
N680 is comparable to Aus8 and 440C and offers good corrosion resistance; very useful for working game and sharpens without much fuss. Keep a ceramic rod in your kit for stropping and it makes a good utility knife. On mine I haven't noticed any undue chipping.
