it is a ridiculously tough knife.
I have used mine for everything from cleaning game, to battoning, to helping dig my truck out of the ditch ( lost my shovel)
it is hands down one of the toughest knives i have ever used!
 
Thank you guys! I've just sold my Benchmade 522 Presidio Ultra (don't like omega springs and slightly cracked blade tip). The only thing I'm worried about -- there is nothing between blade and handles except washers (some unknown material is used for washers)... Will the blade play in the long-term?

Thanks

the washers are bronze and telfon washers. i have them for almost a month. i have abused it and it shows no sign of blade play. that tri-ad lock is strong as hell
 
No problems, these things are tough. I have tested them hard and you will always be able to adjust any play out of the pivot.
 
They look even better when the blade is stripped.
 
I have the tanto version.the knife was wiked sharp,the finish is decent. There's no side to side movement,keeps an edge very long, when you sharpen it, it goes back to a razor. I have stabed threw 212 pages of the phone book. I have shaved 1 time with it. I have also used it to cut heavy rubber, which it looked and felt like a butter knife goin threw butter. I. Have cut bags of powder concrete, I work in a butcher dept. and I have used it to cut meat. I did a couple tests.

1 slashing at it wbutcher coat and cryovac packaging. No problem. 2 I slashed the meat with just the plastic no problem..3 I stabed into the side of a cow. It went thew no problem it leaves deep cavitys.... It's a super tough handle. Grippy but not to grippy. Handle fits perfect in my hand. I have a 5 inch wide hand and there's a little left stickin out in case u have to hammer striker the person. Awesome knife.......stay away from the pocket bushman, the tip breaks with light use.. Phil out

Cold steel is too tactical for that. I was also thinking of getting one. Tanto, spear point, or clip point?
