Benchmade - North Fork 15031-1 Knife, Drop-Point Blade, Made in The USA

I do not consider them to be a great value and think they are a bit expensive. However, their knives have always been my favorites, and I cannot stop buying them since I love the Axis Lock. Although this knife is extremely expensive at $130, it has many of the same builders' characteristics as their higher end knives that cost much (In my case) you get G10, which is a better option than the plasticy grivory and Versaflex. With open flow, you get a nice feeling of space - With a sleek design and pillars to keep the liners together, this is an impressive design. Moreover, you'll also get a fine steel with This knife is a much better option than the standard Griptilian that sells for little over a hundred bucks and contains subpar materials. *BR>*BR>Don't let its inclusion in the Hunt line put you off from getting this for everyday carry. A knife like this is ideal for everyday carry. The blade does have a recurve, but recurves generally have more advantages over straight blades when it comes to almost any cutting task, with the only downside being they may be a bit harder to sharpen depending on the method you use. There is a mini-computer in my house There was never a grip I liked so much. Instead I wished for a slightly thicker handle. I love how this knife fits well in my pocket and is easy to access. This leather pocket clip adds the finishing touch to an otherwise fantastic EDC knife. If you're looking for a premium Benchmade feel at a lower price point, then this may be the one for you.

happy with how this knife turned out. I am now a big fan of Benchmade knives. Although the wood feels and looks nostalgic, it is made out of modern materials and has a modern This is #1 A very high level of quality can be found here. This model is a perfect balance between smooth, quiet operation and sturdy design (no blade movement side to side). The AXIS lock system is simply the best in terms of safety and ease of use. An axis lock is the easiest locking mechanism to use since you use all of your thumb and forefinger strength to lock it. The spring loaded AXIS lock is also very addictive because when you hold the lock open, the blade is free to swing, but when engaged, there is enough tension to hold the blade in place wherever it is in the 180 degree movement. Also, you can close the knife by using the AXIS lock since a spring pulls the blade back into the handle when it gets close to being closed (about 1 inch). This Is #3 The CPM metric Steels such as S30V 'super steel' keep their edges sharp for a long time and are easy to sharpen when necessary. In spite of the fact that I carved three walking sticks, I still noticed a slight difference in the sharpness, but I was able to slice through some small tree branches in one go. The V-shaped battery I used was cheap This knife came with a ceramic knife sharpener that was designed to make it razor-sharp A new sharpness has been achieved. #4 Dymondwood is a wood/resin hybrid that feels great in your hands. Lightly milled handles can be seen with the right lighting conditions, so with the right lighting conditions, you can see angled lines throughout. Nevertheless, in a blind 'feel' test, I was unable to distinguish any difference between Dymondwood and real wood. Below is a picture of a knife with natural G-notch You can see the difference in G-values by looking at 10 handles Compared to Dymondwood, you can also feel the difference between Benchmade's "stonewash" and Civivi's "stonewash", and you can also distinctly see the difference in the grind of the blade. the Civivi Elementum with CPM steel is also a great knife if you care about the type of steel. A comparison of S35VN steel and D2 steel (available on Amazon). This is #5 The product support from Benchmade is great. A free sharpening service? Where else can you find that? The bottom line This is perhaps the best quality knife available for.

In perfect condition, the knife arrived The shaving blade is always perfectly centered as the device closes, no blade play, and no movement when it's closed. This is a sharp product (although I do not It is my third purchase from Benchmade and I have been impressed with all of them. Also, I are an owner of several Spyderco and Buck knives, as well as Gurber and Kershaw knives. It produces knives that have excellent ergonomics and solid construction, but which are also light in In many ways, the North Fork exemplifies these qualities. I also like this knife even though it's not my best (and isn't my most expensive). It feels great in the hand (mine has the diamond Although it's lightweight, it's very durable (steel linings) The design of the product is beautiful and classic. It's certainly strong enough for any normal task one would use it for. A blade with a three inch diameter also has quite a long cutting edge.

Definitely not going to repeat that error. The pros are This knife has a really sharp edge that holds its edge well, and it does not wobble at all. A smooth, easy blade action can be found when opening and closing the blade, and the locking mechanism is strong. I love how well balanced this knife is in my hands. It is a beautiful knife and I have received several compliments about The downside It appears that the color of the handle is fading and the screws holding the clip are loose. As a result of my daily use of this knife, I do expect some fading of the handle and some loosening of the clip screws over time, necessitating a little extra maintenance, but not as quickly as with some knives. As long as the handle is kept conditioned and the screws are installed with loctite type products, these issues are easily resolved, so I am a happy customer.
