Good evening! So I'm looking to treat myself with a new benchmade. I've had a mini griptilian. Full size sheep's foot griptilian and a Contego. I've had my eye on the 808 loco, Crooked River. Barrage tanto and Osborne clip point. Any other suggestions? Thanks for the input.

Get a Ritter before they are gone
I suggest the orange handled ones(if possible).
And I thought I would say, out of all my knives, my Ritter mini Griptilian came with thee smoothest action straight out of the box. It flys open like an auto and the blade falls back without any wrist movements whatsoever. I still gloat about that to my brother, who picked up a G10 sheepsfoot mini twice, each needing their pivot adjusted. Benchmade's M390 is pretty sweet, too.

Of the knives you named, Crooked River all the way. Such a beast and feels amazing in hand. Crazy nice Axis folder. Of those not named, a 940 of some kind. 940(x) is a great everyday carry.
Good luck in your selection and let us know what you get -with pics! :thumbup::thumbup:

Knife works is where they're sold. I haven't checked lately, but there's a chance there is still a few stragglers left. I'm super, super, super happy I got mine when I did. For the price, the steel, and the bulletproof warranty you can't really go wrong.

Just had my Barrage blade swapped out and love the Tanto. Great knife.

If you want something a little bigger, I just picked up a 710 in D2. Awesome knife.

My EDC is Crooked River. But, alternate the G10 handle knife with the stabilized wood handle knife, monthly. Can't choose between them.

Thank you everyone for their input. I went to my local knife shop up here in Toronto. I fiddled with a lot the ones you guys mentioned other than the Ritter griptilian. And I walked home happy with the purchase of the Benchmade 583 SBK. My first Benchmade asist opener. I'm very happy with my purchase.
