A new appreciation for pocket knives |

I really didn't give it too much thought when it came to pocket |
|
knives.(I'm more of a fixed blade guy) Until I decided to pull |
|
the trigger sort of speak on a few different Higher end brands. |
|
I'm not talking about knives like what Chris Reeve's puts out, |
|
that's way above my pay grade. But I saved some cash up and |
|
bought a few of them and EDC'D all of them for about two weeks |
|
each. And quickly found out the ones I paid more money for I def |
|
liked better, They just felt better, stronger and more reliable. |
|
You always here that saying buy once cry once, well I have cried |
|
a lot.The one specific knife I'll be talking about today is the |
|
Benchmade 560(Non Assisted), I love this knife! I love the |
|
handles, the colour, The Pocket clip is robust and can be |
|
changed for left or right carry. (Tip up only) I like the fact |
|
it has a very high grind.I didn't really know what to expect |
|
with the new versaflex handle material but, it offers a sure |
|
grip and seems pretty tough'' At first I was like is it going |
|
to be a pain in the ass going in and out of your pocket?'' But I |
|
quickly realized that there was no Issue. This is the first |
|
Benchmade I've ever owned, I've always heard people complain |
|
about different model's. And No there is no glass breaker, Want |
|
a Glass breaker? Buy a rescue knife. And not seeing very many |
|
videos on YouTube, I took the chance and I'm sure glad I did.My |
|
final thoughts on this are as follows The S30V blade is |
|
fantastic and the grip and ergonomics are exceptional. For a |
|
large sized pocket knife you'd hardly even notice it. Keeps an |
|
edge like no ones business. It was shaving hair sharp right out |
|
the box. I def give this knife a 4.5 out of 5. Here are some |
|
specs |
|

|
grip to this versatile folder. Made in USA. |
