I liked the Crooked River but wanted it in 20cv so I ordered this custom. I have nothing but good things to say about this knife. The grind is good, the lock up is solid, the blade is centered. A really nice example of what Benchmade can do!
I've decided that this knife is not for me. I did have a small engraving done on the knife but I'm pricing it accordingly. If you don't want the engraving you can send it in for a blade replacement and still come out much cheaper than to order this new. The knife is a few weeks old and hasn't been carried much at all. When it was it was babied pretty well. The edge is still factory shaving sharp. The only flaw that I can find is on the bolster where my leatherman knicked it while in pocket. Other than this it's pristine.
Here are the specs:
Black liners, screws, and axis lock.
Black bolster and pivot
Brass pivot ring
Desert Tan G10
Deep Carry Pocket Clip (not painted)
CPM20cv blade steel
With tax and shipping this will cost you right under $300.00.
Traded!
