I'm posting this unofficial poll to determine what your preferences for clip configuration on the new BM806 Axis AFCK are. I think I know already
, but would like to have a statistically-formatted response when addressing this issue. Benchmade has been known for conducting "rolling changes" in production, so while prototypes and pre-pro/first production runs may be configured one way, they can always be changed if desired (look at the clip configuration on the BM720 for example). Please post your preference on how you'd like to see the finalized clip configuration on the AFCK. While unconfirmed, Benchmade MAY take this poll under consideration in the knife's evolution...
The options are:
1. Tip-up carry (clip is mounted at non-pivot end)
2. Tip-down carry (clip is mounted at pivot end--like old-school AFCK's)
3. Tip-up and tip-down carry is possible (four sets of clip holes are drilled into the knife)
4. You're not sure, but you sure are glad Menudo broke up.
Bear in mind that by virtue of being an Axis locking knife, it's gonna be ambi right out of the box. So if you want the option of either tip-up or tip down, you're gonna have FOUR sets of clip holes in the knife's handle. This of course avoids the need for manufacturing both a right and left-handed version.
Thank you for your participation, and please bear in mind that the powers that be at BM may or may not be checking in!
