The first bm-knife is made from CPM S30V,really?
two blade,main is s30v,the other is 440C;anodized aluminum handle;axis lock,,
and?
 
I like its appearance, but don't like it as a user knife. The handle shape makes it uncomfortable when using the small blade.

May be that's just me, but I prefer the old Osborne design.
 
The smaller blade is pretty much useless. Know that before you buy it.

However, the S30V in the main blade, plus the blade shape makes it a great utility knife!
 
I love mine. The blade shape is perfect for general utility. Don't use the small blade much at all, so I wouldn't miss it if it wasn't there. I didn't buy it for the small blade. I only wish the handles had more texture. Grip is greatly decreased when your hands are cold. Makes using the axis lock a bit more difficult because the knife slides in the hand some. Once the knife is open and gripped for use though, it is just fine. I don't plan on using it for hard applications, so I'm not worried about my hand sliding to the blade. It has a good finger groove that keeps your hand in place. It's just when you rotate the knife in your hand a bit to unlock the knife, it gets a bit slippery. Overall, great knife. Just wish it had the texture of the 94x series at least.
