Benchmade Grizzly Creek 15062 Folding Knife - Premium Wood Handle EDC Pocket Knife for Outdoor, Camping & Everyday Carry

Holding it in my hand, the Diamond Wood scales have a great feel: Smooth and though not super "grippy", I never feel out of control of the knife. The weight is just right for me. It sits just a little heavy in the palm which when opened gives a sense of stability and control, yet the knife remains agile and compliant. Deployment is like silk. So far it has zero lateral blade movement, (although I have only been using it for a week.) The S30V steel is said to be super high quality that holds an edge extremely well. Sure. Alright. I won't be able to confirm that until I have spent a lot more time with this knife. However, I do know that the sturdy blade has ample cutting surface and shipped sharp. Honing it razor fine was no problem and since then, it has been up for every cutting task I have thrown at it. The gut hook also works perfectly, of course, on small to medium gauge rope and cord. This just became my perfect folder for hunting, fishing, camping and my survival gear. The only downside is that it instantly relieves the purchaser of quite a bit of hard-earned money. However, for me it was well worth it. It is clear that a lot of thought and work went into the design and build of this knife. I'd say that this is a case where you DO get what you pay for.
