Mailman showed up with my first Benchmade today. Got a Griptillian w/Orange scales. Feels pretty good in my hand. Like the axis lock. Think maybe it'll accompany me to work tomorrow.
 
Lot of first timers here, and most with Grips hehe :)

Congratulations on the purchase!

Then again, pics or it didn't happen :D
 
I have one of these, it was my second knife purchase. It is light weight, has a good "grip" and the right size for me. The 154cm is easy to work with and holds an edge just fine. It's not a super steel, but sometimes those are a pain to work with depending on skill and equipment. After some metal polish the blade is awesome in the light. I didn't remove the texture, just shined it up. Also, I polished the clip to a mirror shine and that made the knife look outstanding. The knife is worth the price and is an entry into BM's. The axis lock is awesome for many reasons... strong, ambidextrous, easy, fast, smooth and unique.

Down side, just one though. It's a fatty in the pocket. The handle that gives that grip also takes up so much room. I wear dress pants through the week and can't have that "happy to see you" bulge in my pocket, people notice. Custom scales are available but they cost as much an another knife. It's a weekend/running knife.
 
It is a little fat in the pocket but that's OK. Like it a lot so far. Finally got a pic of it. Not a knife photog for sure but here it is anyway :):
