Wow just yesterday I was saying how I had never seen a Beretta Avenger I only the Avenger II. I see the screws are different from the II on yours, does that mean it is a 1?
How has the lock worn? When I see pictures of the lockup it looks like there is not alot of room for the lockbar to travel. Is the lockbar steel? (Sorry for all the questions, I am trying to determine if it is worth getting one)
Yep mine's a first gen, even came in a nice aluminum box with the Allen key.
It's worn very little and I used this as a work knife for about 2 years straight with little to no ill effect. Sharpening is a pain, because to keep that single bevel when you sharpen you have to remove carbon fiber with the vg-10. Oh, 1 other thing, the vg-10 is very chippy. Because of this I relegated it to backup status, so I don't worry about sharpening since it doesn't cut anything. I know it's hair whittling sharp and because of the chisel grind I know the blade will perform when needed.
I never held or used a 2nd gen one but I heard they were made just as well as the gen ones. I'll get back to you on the lockback question later, I have to pull it from the knife case and look. Hope I was able to help.
What knife is this?Here is one I just picked up.

That is a custom Deggs Kane by Matt DegnanWhat knife is this?
Lapedog , here's some more shots of the gen 1. Took it out for a few pics and of course I had to slip it into my pocket, now to see what I can slice. BTW don't misunderstand the use of this knife. It's not a utility blade or an EDC that opens mail, takes down boxes and the like. Not to say it can't but those are boring jobs for a knife like this. This puppy was meant to slice through soft organic matter.
I'll use it for mundane chores today, the most exiting thing it's gonna do is cut my sandwich in half. This knife is a weapon plain and simple, even the name congers up images of violence, "The Avenger" . Today I carry for nostalgia and because it's a great knife. So light so big and so much fun to play with. This is one of those knives that inspires knife people and terrorizes the common street folks.
Anyway here's some more pics, thanks for makin' me drag it out, found my misplaced Benchmark Rolox Viper and have been havin' a blast playin' with my first line of defense before I got my CCW permit nearly 30 years ago. It did fall into backup territory after I started carryin' the 9mm Taurus PT111.
