Amazing knife
I bought this last September and have carried it everyday since, the blade was laser sharp out of the box, and still is today even with use. It's not too heavy, but has enough weight to feel solid and well made. Along with its stunning good looks, the quality of the knife makes this one of my all time favorite purchases. Benchmade knocked it out of the park

Not my favorite by a long shot.
Strangely not a great knife, not even a very good knife, which falls well short of the mark the benchmade made his set. The pocket clip makes holding the knife uncomfortable to say the least. The locking mechanism on the one I received is next to impossible to release once the knife is deployed. I realize this is most likely a defect in this particular knife, but for the price point and the quality the benchmade normally put forward it is truly disappointing. I am a huge benchmade fan, having had over 50 of them. Always found them to be top quality knives. The grip even without the belt clip is not fantastic, it’s really not even that comfortable. Am returning the knife and will be switching to a different model. Would not recommend this knife to others, even without the obvious defect.

Great knife! Terrible clip

This is a great EDC, when it stays in my pocket. The blade is strong and holds an edge well. It’s a work tool so gets used multiple times per day. I received mine from the resale section with a small chip missing where the lanyard goes. This doesn’t affect the function in any way. The bad. The pocket clip is not quality spring steel. In the year I have ones this knife I’ve lost it many times. Thankfully have found it every time. The clip doesn’t retain its tension and over time becomes gapped away from the knife. When I notice that it’s clipping on my pocket a little too easy or I’ve had to retrace my path to find it, it’s time to rebend it. I haven’t reached out to Benchmade to see what they have to say about this. Older knives with the menchmade name stamped on them seam to be of much better quality.

A Great EDC

Having already owned the fixed blade version, and loving that blade, I took advantage of the sale and bought the folding model. It's not seen any true service as of yet, but it will soon enough. I'll revise as appropriate.

Big Beefy

This thing is a beast. Very sharp. Reminds me of the Buck110. Its big and heavy but in a good way. Life is short. Buy the knife.

Big ol’ Knife

The Benchmade Crooked River full sized knife was a bit larger than expected. I love the style, but swapped out the clip for a short deep pocket one. I don’t even notice this fat daddy is in my pocket most days, which says a lot about something that is a full 9 inches when extended. It’s taken a bit to loosen it up and get the action going, but it’s rather snappy now!

Great Knife

This is, overall, one of the best knives I own. It fits my hands and is balanced nicely. The action is crisp and smooth.

Though I found a bit of handle scale around the lanyard hole is apart soon after I got the parcel, but the overall features are excellent, especially the blade. .

Good quality product

This is my third Bench Made knife. This is a well made knife with decent steel, not the best, but decent. Would be better if is was S35VN. Overall satisfied with purchase. This company does stand behind their product. They have free knife sharpening program, and if you damage the blade, they will replace the blade for a very reasonable fee. The blade is 4" which is a decent size and get done what you need.
