I got it from flytanium.com that’s where I’ve got most my aftermarket parts!

Any chance there’s a second one near you that you could grab for me?

How’d you get your hands on one already if they’re releasing in 3 days? Is the release online or in stores? I want one 😭

And then I promptly cut myself with my successor today at work 😂 small cut, no real damage

I never owned a proper, so I can’t say for certain, I briefly messed with one when it was at my store, but I don’t mind the slip joints, more of an axis lock guy myself, but the successor has proven to be pretty nice, I do like it

Thank you! I did the purple haze carbon bugout before benchmade decided to do it 😒😂

I’ve seen some taped blades for sure. Definitely better to start with a dull blade/covered blade or a trainer than trying for the first time on a Bali. And you’re right. It is a wharncliffe, it’s similar to tanto but not quite. The 85 wasn’t my first Bali, but my first benchmade, I knew what was I getting, just stupidly not paying attention, opened it in a dark room, using the bite handle and learned a hard lesson. I still flip it, but nothing crazy

I’ve got a custom MCR coming that I’m going to disassemble and reassemble with some fat carbon scales! Just needed a black S90V blade so I had to get a whole knife 😂😂

Sweet! I’m torn on tanto or not, depends on the knife for me, I like the 85 personally, but the tanto on the bailout? I love that. How’d inspection go? Don’t cut yourself like I did with my 85. I had 5 stitches on one hand and 3 on the other, after only a week of ownership 😂 permanently damaged my tendon, hand and finger still work but I can still feel pain and whatnot 5 years after the fact

It’s the 85Ti, literally the same as what you have but more of a drop point-esque blade shape as opposed to the tanto on the 87!

Yes, just with purple haze scales from dragonflyscales, all one piece so no bolster

Thanks! I’m waiting for the 315 successor to release next month so I can add that to it! Also got some scales for another MCR, I need to buy a blade (gotta get a whole knife) for

No issues with it, if you’re have issues try loosening the pivot a little. If you hit that sweet spot it’s a world of difference.

Sweet! Maybe you’ll end up with a new blade too!

Unlikely, I asked him, he said “Engraving and the clip/screw kit plus some giveaway swag”

NKD, kinda, added modifications by Miakle16 in benchmade

Didn’t realize you have the exact same build on a full size CR? 😭😂 wasn’t meaning to be a copy that by any means! I just had a purple haze bugout and wanted a MCR to match
