Out of my 15 years of buying knives, no knife has brought me as much joy and satisfaction, as this model. The Ti’s hefty weight, along with it’s beautiful stonewash is much appreciated over other plain Ti models. The edge is CRAZY sharp.. I’ll say it again, CRAZY freakin’ sharp! Sharper than any other knife I’ve received from BKC. Whoever sharpened the convexed edge is a maestro.

The detail on this knife is amazing. It has both my favorite handle material (Ti) and my favorite steel (M390) - all on one of the best, day-to-day EDC platforms there is (531).

Congrat. since I'm a huge fan of 530/531 series, I must admit that I'm envious.
A pair of 531-131 & 531-132 will be my grail.

Btw, I noticed u changed sig pic as well. I'm that ur found grail.
 
Got to say this is one of the few Gold Class knives I would really want and carry. Sweet for sure but too rich for my knife budget at the moment.

It's a user.. It's kicked all my other 531's out of my pocket.

I generally don't care if it's Gold Class, LE, or regular production model because I'm not a collector/investor .. I just like the upgrade in materials.

That's great. Glad to hear you're actually using the knife.
 
Congrats P_Meticulous, that is a gorgeous knife and my favorite Benchmade! I'd love to own one, I only wish it had a slightly lower price point.

I wish that BKC would come to their senses and develop a regular production 531 with titanium scales instead!

That way, it would be more attainable for everyone and it would be significantly lower in price. I would happily pick up a few more for sure.

Ti fits this knife better than any other titanium model Benchmade I own. You feel the ti’s heft without it being overly heavy due to the small size of the knife.
 
I'm with you on that. About $150-200, give or take, off of the price these went for would be the sweet spot for a production version with titanium handles.

Man those pictures from your last post are too much (in a good way)!
 
Great pictures, I really like this knife. Unlike many GC models, this Pardue variant is simple in design. Would I carry it? Yes!
