Well, I picked it up off ebay for 46.00 and Im pretty happy with it so far. The assist works god with the index finger trigger but the thumb stud is a little hard to hit correctly. Blade comes extremely sharp right out of the box, and is nice and shiny :P. I have a couple questions about it though.
1. If dissasemmbled for oiling and tighting, are Onion torsion bars complicated and hard to put back together? Luckily I have the right size of screw so I might need to do this later.
2. What kind of oil should I use on this Knife? I have used paintball gun oil, the only thing I could find, on my S&W S.W.A.T. and it seemed to work pretty good but I am hesitant about using it on this knife.
3. What type of edge grind does this knife have?
Thanks all, Snow
 
Well, I took my knife apart and put it back together fine and I am mainy wonderinbg what kind of lubricant to use on the blade and the torsion bar.
 
Hoppes #9 works wonders as well. I bought a bottle of it about 5 years ago, it's a 3 ounce bottle and I have loads of knives, it's still half full. I would also recommend tuf-glide.
 
what kind of oil does benchmade use on their knives? I love the way that stuff smells (sniffs his new 707)
