New to Benchmade

[Venice]

My first Benchmade; Megumi. Just wanted a small US made gentleman's folder.
Everything I expected.

Good to hear. Welcome to the family!

You should also check out the new 486 we just released. I think you may dig that one as well. It's an axis lock too which is nice.

I was always interested in the Megumi but bought it's bigger brother, the 484 Nakamura. Fantastic f&f and virtually flawless. My favourite knife, of any brand, so far. Now that I've seen yours, I must have one too.

Yeah. This is a crazy hobby and I don't need any suggestions.............
I get in enough trouble by myself.
Got it to go with my US made Gentleman's light; the little Gizmo
Thanks for the comments.

That’s a good looking knife. If I hadn’t just bought a 698 I’d be tempted to get one of those.

I just received a griptillian for father's day. It is my first benchmade but not my last. The bugout or the mini freek or maybe the full-size freek will be next

If I can make a suggestion: Since you already have the Grip, maybe try something entirely different. I don't have the large Grip (just the small) and neither any of the Freek's, but I imagine both the Freek's and Grip's fulfill the same role. Try the Bugout, or save for awhile and get one of BM's premium models. But then again, I don't have any problems spending other people's money either,

I'm really looking at the bugout. I think the thin profile would be excellent to carry when maybe eating out or shopping. I also like a small thinner knife at church. Don't want anyone distracted by a larger knife in my pocket when I'm preaching. Right now it's a skyline or a dividend,but I am loving the bud of the grip and the axis lock it is perfect for me because of my hands shaking from seizures. I have fallen in love with benchmade

Uh-oh, you're in trouble now! The same thing happened to me around Thanksgiving last year and now I want to try them all. I finally got a Bugout just to see what everybody was talking about and I really like it.

Not to mention that with the blue scales, the knife is much more family friendly.
