That’s an easy one. My original AFCK, I’ve carried so long I couldn’t even send it back for screws.
My original gen AFCK, even a little beat up it's still beautiful.

Full size Grip, Doug Ritter edition in M390. It's got a great blade shape, and I love M390. I have the newer grip with g10. While it does look nicer and have a more "upscale" feel to it I do notice the extra weight. I've got several other Benchmades that cost a lot more, but I keep going back to the Ritter Grip.

Bugout after a scale upgrade is pretty hard to beat IMO! Size/weight/utility.
I'm also a big fan of the Knives Ship Free StrykerII. Smoothest Axis Lock I've ever had.
Really like that Knives Ship Free Stryker II in M4. I have a custom murdered out Benchmade Barrage in M4, and I really like it.

Vector 495 AO is my new favorite. Light and carries well quick to get into lockup and has a great blade and tough lock.

What scale is on the bottom knife (not the black CF)?

940 series for me. 940-1 in particular. Super light for its size, great in the pocket, beautiful scales, very capable and drop dead sexy(IMO
I like s90v quite a bit but I would be happy with any of their current blade steels as long as it had the CF scales.
Outstanding knife - My favorite Benchmade as well.

Thank you. They look nice and look like good quality (went to his Instagram site)
550-1.
A lot of BM knives just don’t work in my hands. Triage, Rift, mini Grip, Valet, 940, Contego, etc. I want to love them. I grew up in Tualatin and drive past Oregon City every day on my way to work. As a kind of hometown company, I want to support them.
Thankfully, the full size grip allows me to do that. As truly bad as those others are in my hands, a full size Griptilian hits my hands like the handle was made just for me. Throw in the 20CV and the blue...
Yes, please.

Full-sized Griptilian. It's the only Benchmade I own (mine's the 550HG) and if something ever happened to it, I'd buy another because I can afford it and I love it enough. I'd even say it's good value for money. Benchmade designs appeal to me generally but most of them are too expensive for me. Very comfortable in the hand, almost feels like it was molded for my hand. It definitely also feels like it was made in the USA by people who are truly passionate about knives. Love it.
