Which Benchmade are you carrying today?

[Nbrackett]

Kind of stopped being a Benchmade once you swap out the blade. First of the Wilkins' blades I have seen in the wild.

Fair enough. You're right but it is his interpretation of the grip.

I like it, but it would have been better if it didn't have the small dent in the bottom of the scale Just kiddin

Dang Mike, getting picky there aren't you. Even though I didn't put it there all of mine are carried and will have their "flaws" in due time.

Sorry I couldn't resist I do like it though. Are the scales aluminum or Ti ?

They are Ti. It's pretty heavy and really too big for me to EDC through the week but carries just fine in jeans.

Can I get away with posting this on here?

I say yes. It's a Benchmade in spirit and the Axis lock components had to come from somewhere, right?

And here's my contribution:

Got the 3551 auto in a few minutes ago. Neat little knife. I usually go for the bigger blades but the pictures of this one appealed to me and it turns out that it's plenty big. No problem at all getting four fingers on the handle of this one and I like the thin spear point blade.

I was afraid it might come with the "First Production" ugly marks on the blade since it's a new model number but thankfully it didn't. Came with the clip installed for tip down carry though. :thumbdn: That will have to be fixed. Arrived in flawless condition with a very nice, sharp edge like my Ritter Grip came with. Maybe BM is paying a little more attention to their edges these days?

I got the Benchmade lanyard for this knife as well, not knowing how big it is. It looks great but it's as long as the 3551 itself so I put it on my Stryker instead. Might have to get another one for the 710.

I'd post a pic or two but my memory card for the camera stopped working all of a sudden.

Next one I have my eye on is the CLA auto.
