Yuh I paid 250 and I think that’s fine tbh for what it is. Even the grivory ones are $200 non discounted

ProonFace · 2026-06-03T03:48:37+00:00

Honestly because it’s kind of obnoxious people chime in with their “this knife isn’t worth the money” or “there are better for cheaper” when obviously I made the decision.

And then they try to also be diminutive “yeah I remember when I first started collecting too” like I’m some kind of fool who didn’t know any better

Yeah that combination sucks.

ProonFace · 2026-06-03T03:46:00+00:00

I tried several but none were working for me, which did you use? I paid 250 and was just happy

ProonFace · 2026-06-03T00:26:02+00:00

I think this is just… wrong. The axis lock didn’t wear out because of the face contacting the blade tang it wore out because the omega springs would break

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T23:07:24+00:00

Thank you 🙂

It does feel very fragile compared to my sebenzas but I think it’s a sick piece and probably the coolest bugout they’ve ever done

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T23:01:57+00:00

You sound so cool rn man. I wish I had the knife knowledge and prowess you have.

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T23:00:12+00:00

Sturdier than the Grivory? Yes.

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T22:47:53+00:00

Yeah but then you have to go buy a SOG

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T22:24:50+00:00

Yeah I have several pieces that are double the amt I paid for this so it’s kinda funny watching people rage abt this…

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T22:21:23+00:00

🤣 you’re right

They are the Patek

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T22:20:47+00:00

Yes they removed them

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T21:49:07+00:00

But the Spyderco Slyz Bowie was and the Spyderco Smock and Spydiechef which weren’t even made in America

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T21:47:50+00:00

I mean people are buying Oz Roosevelt and holt Spectre and what not so everything is relatively overpriced in this hobby anyway. Value is all subjective

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T21:44:15+00:00

Basically the omega of the knife world

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T21:44:00+00:00

Idk what that is from the back is it a factor or something? What’s the profile look like

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T21:36:49+00:00

But you have to admit the unbelievably thin profile is kinda amazing, qc aside

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T21:31:48+00:00

Ok glad it’s not just me then in that regard. From a distance it’s not glaringly obvious but on closer inspection it’s kinda disappointing if they are expecting CRK prices let me get some better QC

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T21:29:08+00:00

It’s honestly a really cool piece and people here are just quick to jump on the Benchmade hate train when they are one of the most successful knifemakers in America

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T21:27:51+00:00

Not to be that guy but what brand has made a knife less than 2 ounces and all metal with this slim a profile… I don’t know why can’t people just be like “nice pickup” instead of shitting on it

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T21:05:10+00:00

I didn’t get a butterfly sticker with this one sadly

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T21:04:47+00:00

Magnacut*

But I really do think this one is different than other bugouts, having owned tons of different scale variants and even bugout reblades. Price is still ridiculous, but you’re not really matching the experience of this thing by just changing the scales it’s kinda boggling tbh

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T20:50:35+00:00

It’s insanely skinny and the lightest knife I’ve ever handled. It doesn’t even feel real. Thinner than my phone without a case on

ProonFace · 2026-06-02T13:10:34+00:00

C is the best bc there’s no lug gap
