I saw in the exchange that there we a few of the Benchmade 741 onslaughts for sale and started looking up info and started to like what I read, unfortunetly for me (which is usually the case in the forum with all the knife heads) by the time I was ready to pull the trigger they were all sold. So since I was bitten by the bug already I decided not to wait around till another went up for sale and ordered one online for for $135 (plain edge) shipped. So since I saw alot of first impression reviews and non user blog posts id like someone who uses this knife as an edc or at least very often since I will prob end up carrying it almost everyday, to give me their detailed opinion and let me know if I made a good buy. Thanks in advance
 
I'll reply since noone else has. I don't edc my onslaught but have carried it to work a few times. I can only give my personal impressions of the knife. It is big but not uncomfortable to carry. The pocket clip on mine needed to be adjusted for a tighter hold in my pocket. Well made knife. I think a knife this size deserves a thicker blade. You won't be doing any light prying with it. I found the G10 handle scales rather slick. I dropped it once removing it from my pocket. The knife does look Cool though so I'll keep it and carry it occasionally. If you are looking for a hard use knife I think you could do better.
 
Thank you. Most likely this will be my out an about edc because the dam thing is intimidating but I have a lot of stronger edc's for work or play. I just want it to retain an edge and not lock up on me. it will be my first of what I hope many benchmades and I can only hope that it does not disappoint
