How is the Benchmade LFTi?

[Slidetechnik]

Just curious as to what the general consensus is on the Benchmade 760 LFTi? The thing looks downright awesome, but I haven't found one to handle yet.

Thanks.

Definitely one of the coolest knives to be released lately and made from high quality materials. Weak detent was really the only complaint I had with mine.

Do you have any pics of the knife, including the lock-up with a good tang shot?
I'm thinking of getting one myself.

I agree with tjsulli790. I had one of the first production run ones, and the lockup was very solid. No blade play at all and perfectly centered. Detent was weak I was iffy about carrying in my usual tip up fashion. There have been a few complaints about the blade not centering and moving around a lot locked open and closed, but I didn't see that in my experience.

As said above, mine also had a weak detent, not safe to carry out of the box.
Main problem is the horrible edge it came with, needs re-profiling before it will ever have a decent cutting edge. It's going back to where I bought it from for a refund.

Krien Regrind is calling that knife, Gunmike1 had some pics of one that looked incredible.

Edit:

This thread http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=648642&highlight=Benchmade might be helpful, it even has pics of that regrind.
