Opinions: Axis Flipper 300-1

[AWGD8]

This knife doesn't overwhelm me with the thought it is 'big'. It feels medium size, but nevertheless beefy. The blade isn't too long (for my taste, edc) but it is stout for sure. You can beat on it without worry. And the handle has some thick liners, that to me look great and let me know this knife will last. The weight is much more than say a griptilian, again, to me that's a good thing. I understand lightweight is good. But, when it's too light, it can run the risk of feeling cheap. This feels like a KNIFE! Really enjoy this 300. (It may be too much for someone working in an office or at a desk however?)

I wish I could post pictures from my phone... (I take it the only way is to upload to a photo sharing and then paste a link? Is there no direct way from your photo library?)

Thanks for the feedback! I still have to sell all my balisong to get one like this.

Thanks man. It's on their website if you just search Benchmade engraving. It looks like they changed their prices a little bit, it's $5 for text but 25 for picture. I don't know what they consider picture though because I've done a few engravings that looked like pictures but we're considered text. Sorry its been a while since i did them so it figures theyd switch it up a bit.

They can literally do anything that you send them as long as it's in a JPEG format. Black and white is the best way to get a solid picture to them.

The translation that I put on has to do with the threefold benediction which is extremely important to me. It says:

May the Lord bless you and protect you:
May the Lord show you kindness and be gracious to you:
May the Lord bestow favor upon you and grant you peace:
*******************


Here is another one that is text:

Absolutely love the engravings you've chosen YM!
I'm guessing neither of them will be for sale!
Too cool!

I've had a number of Benchmade knives come and go, that's the only one that I re-aquired. I like it for what it is, a medium length, modern designed, capable knife. I don't really care how well it flips honestly. It's just a well made tool that can be counted on for any reasonable cutting task. In Jeans, it's not too bad to carry. If your looking for a blue collar work knife, it's worth a try.

I picked up one of the blue/black scaled 300's at a gun show a couple years ago. I like the short, hefty blade & the fact that it can be flipped, or opened with thumb studs. Mine had a very smooth action right out of the box & I used to carry it a lot, but now I keep it in the cup holder in my truck.
