FknHungryI'm excited for this to ship. Axis lock mechanic, large blade, vg10 is great everyday steel, easy to sharpen,decently durable, and it has bearings instead of washers. $50 it's a sweet deal. Also as you can see in the description they admit to using the axis lock. Don't bash just because your Benchmade isn't unique now lol. Not a fan off the name so I'm renaming it the amare baguette, just a little more slap for the fanboys.

FknHungryInteresting; the specs you found show the blade length is 83 mm not 88, putting it at 3.2 inches and slightly violating the ounce-per-inch rule at 3.3 ounces. I ordered one of these and will update when I get it. Not a dealbreaker, but a blade longer than the Bugout was one of the selling points.

FknHungryThank you. These number look more reasonable. I wonder if Drop with Edit their spec sheet? Having a nearly 1/4" (.200") - (5.1 mm) blade length difference, is quite a bit, in the folding pocket knife world.

SteveMidwestIt is the shorter 83 mm length. I just started EDCing this knife after minor modifications. Initially, I wasn't blown away because the aggressive texture of the handles made it difficult to stow in the pocket. After accidentally ruining the tension of the clip, i removed it to rebend it and while I had it off o used a file to soften the handle under the clip. It's much better now, and otherwise the knife is great for EDC. While similar to the Benchmade Bugout, it's much more rigid and solid feeling while being less than half the price.
