Picked up a new EDC Blade

[KG1]

Just picked up a new EDC blade. (Shout out to Bradsknives for hooking me up with a good deal.)

It's a Benchmade 950 Rift. I've always liked the reverse tanto Osborne design blade but for some reason I've never had one. This is also my first go around with the axis style lock and I'm liking it so far. Solid lockup with no detectable play. Thumb stud deployment is fast and smooth.

Here's a few specs if anyone is interested.

Satin Plain Edge/ Layered Black & Charcoal G10 Handle.
Pocket Clip: Tip Up, Reversible.
Blade Length: 3.67"
Blade Material: 154CM Stainless Steel
Blade Hardness: 58-61HRC
Blade Style: Reverse Tanto, Ambidextrous Thumb-Studs
Weight: 4.80oz.

That is a gorgeous blade. Sadly, both my Benchmade axis folders were stolen at work. Now you're making me want to buy another.

Brad is in Michigan City for the Gun show so I will thank you for him for your support. We really appreciate it.
You bought a great knife it should serve you well.

Thanks Knife Lady. I was impressed with the way Brad handled the purchase and responded quickly to my inquiry about picking up the new Benchmade. Then again I had full confidence going in that he would follow through and it was my pleasure to support an INGO advertiser.

I will definitely have to try and make it to a show in NWI that you guys are in attendance and perhaps make another deal in person.

Nice pick up OP! I really like those scales too. They're almost hypnotic!

You can never go wrong with a benchmade. I am a huge fan of the axis lock. The rift is a great EDC knife. If you want a more personal touch you can always use rit dye on the G10.

Nice knife. I might have to check out some of the bench made knives too. I will have to look Brad and knife lady up at one of the gun shows.

great choice! I have a710 in m2 steel with the axis lock, been thru 8 sets of springs in it.
