Benchmade is a bit pricey, a butterfly knife is not cheap. But the knife is very good – excellent steel, sharp as it should be, comfortable in the hand despite its relatively small size. I definitely recommend it!

The blade with a Reverse Tanto profile is made of high-quality CPM-S30V steel with a hardness of 58-60 HRC, characterized by high resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage, as well as excellent edge retention. The surface of the blade is finished with a satin method, providing a semi-matte effect

The double-sided thumb stud on the blade allows for easy and quick one-handed opening of the knife. The double-sided manual Axis Lock prevents accidental folding of the blade during use

The profiled scales of the handle made of 6061-T6 aluminum are covered with an anti-slip texture. Additionally, the handle is equipped with a steel tip-up clip that can be repositioned to the other side, allowing for safe carrying of the knife, e.g., in a pants pocket

I like it very much, it feels great in the hand and is very comfortable to use. The blade is dedicated more to tough work, so it's not as sharp as a razor compared to many Spyderco models. In real life it is much smaller than in the photos, which is a big plus. I highly recommend it!

Great knife. Ergonomics 10/10. However, the build quality compared to WE or even Civivi, is lacking. Considering the price and the workmanship, regardless of the history of this knife, 3/5.

Small, neat little knife, almost invisible, with wonderful quality! Much smaller than the older brother, but very handy even for my big hands. The key is the fantastic lock and the smoothness with which the blade moves. Wonderful purchase!

Sharp, slim, and fast. Fits well in the pocket, almost weightless. Sometimes I forget I have it on me. The handle scales aren't slippery and it's enjoyable to click. Great!
