Thanks for all your suggestions in my search for a new Gent's folder. Per my original request, I was looking for a lightweight (Ti or CF) folder in the sub 3" blade size. Having recently picked up a William Henry CF Kestrel, I wanted another EDC w/a little more size.
I gotta say, the search was half the fun. Handling dozens of folder at the cutlery shops and countless hrs at the online retailers and mfr's websites were both informative and fun! I'd been looking at everything from custom on down and after handling this Benchnmade 770 in carbon fiber, it really appealed to me. It's my first BM, but likely not my last. Quality and materials are fantastic and the action is butter smooth. The AXIS lock is also a great design. Anyway, here's a couple of proud papa shots of a new EDC to work into the rotation.
