fixed blade similar to the Cold Steel SRK

Don't people actually read the previous posts before they make one? He's got a VIDEO showing WHY the BM CSKII isn't going to be one of his choices. Yet people keep pointing him that way....:confused:

But would that not have happened to the other knife that was made out of 1095?

He was doing the same thing to the same log with in a minute apart.

True. It didn't happen to the other knife.

It hardly makes the videomaker's point valid. Chopping like that on frozen wood puts any knife at risk. Proper technique would have eliminated the risk.

Its like saying a knife is no good if it chips while chopping gravel.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not running to the defense of the BM...I'd get the Fallkniven myself.

Of course, the Fallkniven may chip if you try to chop gravel with it! :D Or if your wrist flops around laterally while chopping frozen wood. Or if you take a jackhammer to it.
 
The Benchmade isn't a bad knife at all. How can it be? It's just a basic, no frills knife made from good steel. Who knows, the heat treat my have been totally screwed up. You take that chance any time you buy something that's mass produced. It wouldn't make me stop from considering the knife.
 
I agree, it could be the HT. I love BM knives. In fact, the majority of my knives are made by Benchmade. I think that is why I was so fast to jump on their new fixed blade. BM does a great HT on most of their knives. I love how they HT D2. This is the first knife BM has made with 1095 that I am aware of. It could be they just need to tweak their HT for this steel just a bit.

Right now I am looking to get that one fixed blade that will take over the rest. I have several fixed blades that I just do not use for one reason or another. I have my choppers and small fixed blade, now I need that in between knife.
