Howdy!
Never had a Benchmade before, but really like the AXIS lock and its suitability for Southpaws. Here's specs:
-4''-ish blade, Clip, Drop-Point, or reverse Tanto are acceptable. NO std. Tanto.
- Steel can be M4, 154CM, Aus-8a, I need something that will last, be corrosion resistant (dont mind oiling M4) and be fairly easy to sharpen on non-diamond sharpeners.
-Handle needs to be G10 with SS liners, grippy.
-reversible or 4-pos. clip
-thumbstuds preferred, but blade must be easily opened with a wrist snap- reliably. Lockup needs to be rock solid with no movement.
-Plain edge only- I don't need no stinkin serrations!
- Black blade coating would be great, simply for increased corrosion resistance- I will be in a very humid environment.
Possibilities right now include the Contego, Bedlam, and the Onslaught, but unsure if the Onslaught has a reversible clip, looks like only righties need apply.
Any info would help.
