Just got one of these in the mail today and althought I am a huge fixed blade fan I really like this knife Great handle great blade and great lock

Carried it in my pocket no problem but a folder this size begs for a belt sheath I am useing a Lone Wolf Harsey tactical sheath and it is perfect for rough carry and attaches to my maxpedition bag perfectly. Might send out to get some custom leather

When I can't carry a fixed blade this knife should do very well

Great package

Very nice. I got to play with one and it seemed like a really nice quality knife.
 
The Onslaught (Forrester) is a slicer on steroids.

If you find it takes up too much room in the pocket I recommend a leather sheath, I had one made for my Rukus and really enjoy it.
 
Waiting for a mini. The blade looks really fetching but I don't need a knife that big.
 
I fondled one... several times. The thin blade, for such a large surface, doesn't instill confidence in my mind for heavy use - the hilt looks pretty weak with that close to the edge thumb hole. Probably a great slicer. Ho-hum usual blade material, 154CM, instead of a 'wow' like M4 or even S30V. Nice G10 scales - interesting shape. I still like it, love that AXIS lock, but that 760 of last year was just a hard act to follow. Love my admittedly more massive Skirmish and Rukus - my ideas of 'bigger' B-Ms.

I predict I will visit my pusher/enabler again today... and fondle that new B-M - again. If I have any sense, I'll leave my plastic at home (The checkbook has grown cobwebs over the last few says!). It's hard to not like a new B-M, no matter how I nitpick it. Congratulations on a neat new knife.

Love the design, will get one for sure DESPITE the absence of a thumb stud. I'll learn to live with the Spyderhole, but I'll never learn to like it.
Gratz on your new aquisition! :thumbup:
 
I have one and it's nice but like stated above it is a definite slicer and I had brough it for landscape tasks so this one may go up on the exchange. It does caryy light though for such a large folder
 
Congrats on your purchase I plan on picking one of these up when time and money permit themselves..
 
Just picked one up and like the Bedlam I am amazed at how nice the grip feels. It is almost tacky (grippy). The pivot and clip colored gunmetal gray is a very nice touch also. This knife is very impressive to me. :thumbup:
