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!

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!
