This knife would be kinda cool if: 1. If it had the same scale on BOTH sides of the handle. 2. If it was just regular carbon fiber and NOT glow in the dark. 3. If it was offered at a lower price point. 4. If there was a left handed option. I admit that number 4 is just me wishing that knife companies would make more options for all of us lefties out here. The rest is just my opinion on what could be changed to make me want to actually purchase it.

JediJonSo if it wasn't glow in the dark it would be better? No. That doesn't add anything. I have 2 of them and they're great.

balakay43No, I never said it would be better, just that I think it would be cool without glow in the dark. Glow in the dark seems gimmicky on certain product, especially ones that don't necessarily need to be. It's a cheesy selling point that some people like, but I'm just not a fan of it. Nor am I a fan of knives with just the scale on one side. It doesn't look even or flush, like, it's incomplete. There's no symmetry to it, so it looks lop sided. But hey, that's just my opinion. If you like the knife enough to own 2 of them, well then that great. I would imagine a lot of people like it. I'm sure it's a fine knife and does what it's intended to do. I'm not gonna hate on anybody who buys one or owns one. I'm just saying that it's not I knife for me.

JediJonThen go buy the normal one on Bladehq instead of complaining about an Exclusive. The knife itself with shredded carbon fiber at $99 is a steal. it’s also a FRAME lock, so no duh the scale is only on one side. This comment screams “I know nothing about knives but here is my opinion”.

AcidWashedWoah, easy there, guy. No need to get your knickers in a twist. Again, it is my opinion, so you're right about that. Yet, to assume I know nothing about knives, well, I may not know everything, but I know enough that just because it's a frame lock, doesn't mean the handle has the scale only on one side. I've seen plenty of frame lock knives where the handle is the same color/material on both sides. So, not really sure what you're going on about there. Regardless, I explained why I don't like this knife in my previous response, so at the end of the day, I think we can just agree to disagree.

JediJonBenchmade or any axis lock are all ambi and a far superior mechanism to liner or framelock for one handed open/close and not having to have your thumb in blade path while you do it. Axis mechanism is 100% ambi, so as long as the model offers the option to swap the clip to the other side, you're set. Check the Benchmade Griptilian and Mini Griptilian. I've tried everything - EVERYTHING out there and nothing has dethroned the Griptilians I've carried for 15 years.
