Does your Rift drop-shut without having side to side play? I have a NOS one that is atrociously off center.
mine’s a 9555 auto rift, so honestly i think i’d be pretty upset if it dropped shut. blade centering is great tho 
my son has a manual 950 but he likes his pivots tight enough that it takes a bit of a wrist flick to close the knife. does the same with his 550

Oops... He who pays attention clearly has the edge
To me the Rift is a beefier 940. Mine will off to BM soon, so I can enjoy using it.

Just got these two in the post today, my first Benchmade knives.
The Mini Presidio is in my pocket right now.

Just arrived yesterday. Already lovin’ it. First Mini Crooked River (fourth Benchmade for me
). Benchmade’s carbon fiber is some of the best-looking in the knife industry, in my opinion (have it on my Mini Bugout), so I had to get some more!TheManInBlack

Added a Lynch Northwest deep carry clip in blue, and a custom lanyard with a glow-in-the-dark carbon fiber bead. Just a test run—it’s my first knife lanyard (and was a major PITA!). I never want to tie another diamond knot for the rest of my life…

One of my favorite knives. I have a couple of ideas why it was discontinued but I still think it’s a damn shame. Has its quirks but as an ‘entry level Sebenza’ it was a great option.

I haven't been over this way in quite some time, despite the fact that I often have one of a couple dozen BMK's in my pocket. I got this one earlier this month to go along with my 800 and 806BK, have it out pretty much every day and in my pocket more than a few times. I'm definitely in love with this 806-1101. Sorry, can't help but show off a bit....
Beautiful knoif!

Thanks, man! I really like those scales on your Mini Barrage. I've left mine stock as it was a gift from my wife, but de-assisted my 581 and converted it to open back with simple standoffs. What about your mini?

It's stock except for the scales that I just received. I'll probably keep it "assisted" for the time being. I have a couple of 580's that will have new scales. Trying to see if the maker would entertain giving some stabilized wood a whirl. If he agrees to it, I'll give it my epoxy then tung oil/urethane treatment. Wood becomes impervious to H2O.
