Looking for a great EDC knife ? Stop Searching !!

I bought this last September and have carried it everyday since, the blade was laser sharp out of the box, and still is today even with use. It's not too heavy, but has enough weight to feel solid and well made. Along with its stunning good looks, the quality of the knife makes this one of my all time favorite purchases. Benchmade knocked it out of the park

Amazing knife

Great knife

It is a beautiful and wicked sharp blade that I use daily

Underneath the scales are full stainless steel liners (skeletonized) and a bright orange G-10 backspacer. Holding things together is a large black pivot and blackened steel hardware. Everything is precision fit, and there are a number of nice details to enjoy, like the arced face between handle scale and bolster, the geared backspacer, and of course the snazzy orange pivot collar. Even the lanyard hole is oval and chamfered, adding style to an otherwise mundane feature of a knife

15mm thick piece of S30V stainless steel, and it carries a significant amount of steel out all the way to the tip. The end result is a blade that has a good tip for piercing, plenty of edge for cutting, and a nice belly for food prep and possibly even skinning. 

AMERICAN MADE CPM-S30V STEEL: For first-rate edge retention and corrosion resistance; Clip-point construction for easily controlled cuts.STABILIZED WOOD HANDLE: Is made from a durable composite material that's been backfilled with resin; Stands up to a range of harsh elements and environments; Stronger than natural wood.AXIS LOCKING MECHANISM: Ensures safety and a smooth open and easy close; Reversible split arrow clip; Lanyard hole for versatile carry options.     I recommend purchasing the Benchmade Crooked River at Amazon or BladeHQ

The choice of S30V stainless steel for the blade is less exciting now then it may have been 5 years ago. These days I prefer S35VN for it’s improved toughness and ease of sharpening over S30V, but in my opinion Benchmade has always done a great job with their S30V. For example, the S30V on the Volli continues to impress me with it’s sharpness, edge holding, and ease of maintenance. I think Benchmade knows how to make the most of this steel

awesome

Big Beefy

This knife is gorgeous. Plain and simple. I was tired of the cheap plastic Benchmade has been using in it's knives over the past 10years or so (griptilillian) but this stabalized wood and Titanium is out of this world! Absolutely LOVE this knife. S30V is by far one of my favourite blade steels, and this new line of knives is a cut above your average Benchmade

 I discovered it today because I scratched my the back of my hand putting it in my pocket. Admittedly this is my EDC, and lives in my pocket.  Just be careful and try not to drop it.
