This Rift just showed up.



It's a bit of an indulgence, but I really like the Rift design. I have a Rift automatic, but as I can't use it--not legal in Montana and most states--I'm sending it to another MTO member. This bad boy will replace the auto and actually get some pocket time. I got the auto during my days in military service when carrying an auto was authorized. It's nice to have the Rift back in my rotation now!

I understand why they outlawed auto’s back in the 50’s if I remember correctly when all the “thugs” had stilettos, but it’s a bit ridiculous when a waved Spyderco or Emerson opens even faster than a auto yet they are perfectly legal to own and carry.

I really like them too and both sets of mine were for some reason Blem priced too?!

I also wish I had know they were releasing the newer style scales when I got my second set as I probably would have waited and paid more to put them on the Ritter but such is life.

Great Family Pic!
Including the Inbred Cousins!

I don't know about being under rated really it seems the Grip are pretty popular where I have been?

Here are a few of mine that are not in bags waiting to "Go" or something.

I like building them too and seeing just how smooth they will fly out with a little tweaking. :gimme:

Agree. And, you could literally thumb flick or axis flick that knife open just as fast if not faster than the auto version! It's not like it was even button operated... smh

And correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Montana have some of the most lax gun laws out there? It's ass backwards if you ask me  :facepalm:

Montana has very reasonable gun laws.  ;)  Some of the best in the country. And it is perfectly legal to open carry a sword or Bowie knife. But, and I don't quite get this, switchblades are a no-no.

The Rift auto has some sentimental value for me, but otherwise I just don't need it. The replacement Rift manual is great, although not quite as nice as the auto in some respects. The auto doesn't have a thumb stud and has a slightly more slender blade; as a result, I think it's a tad more useful.




Nevertheless, I think I have found the Rift Auto a good home with someone who can use it. That makes me pretty happy, since all knives deserve to be used.  :tu:
The manual looks like it'll be a work horse. :2tu:

HK 14715 I think?
It is an Axis Lock made for HK by Benchmade but has G10 Scales and a D2 blade and is clearly similar & different than a standard Mini Grip at the same time!
I think they discontinued them?

I have had several Mini Grip' and they were just too small and light weight for me to get a decent grip on but these HK fix all of that and are one of the few smaller knives I like.

Hey guys. I’m kind of stepping in here partially... i just recently acquired an HK Flak which was made by Benchmade exclusively for Big 5 a while back... let me know if I need to step out of the thread and come back when I have a Grip ;-)

That’s excellent! I need to find one of those. Just bought a Spydie Manix 2 and the ball bearing lock is very similar to the axis lock.

They do seem similar but it is mostly just on the surface too I think.
The Spydie is a great and tough lock but the Axis lets the blade literally just fall free of the scales when released.
I have tried a lot of Spydie of this type and have 2 Manix kinives but they do not feel the same as an Axis lock in motion.

Nothing at all bad to say about either but they only look the same really.

When I hold the BB lock open and the knife parallel to the ground, the blade falls free of the scales rather smoothly. Hmmm, who knows?
I’m with you on the axis though; I don’t hear many complaints on it. I’m having a tough time finding yours on eBay or otherwise... gotta keep looking :-)

to you both,
ye, the H&K line was discontinued for 2017, no more models produced, and the older ones (which were quite the value IMO, and big sellers) are getting rarer and pricier.

CBBL is similar in looks to the Axis, but it has key differences in its functioning.  :ahhh
Usually regarded as stronger and more durable in the long term (in comparison to the Omega springs wearing out or breaking in the AXIS lock) but also stiffer and not as easy to repair/maintain, so the AXIS wins in smoothness and feel for most people and in most models.  :tu:

There are always exceptions though and both are excellent, safe and fun locks to use and own.   :salute:

PS: Love all the H&K models and they look better than most BM knives to me. Excellent pieces!!!   :like:

Excellent info! Thanks so much! I’d love to try and find more of the HKs... the Flak I have is a spring assist with a liner lock. The previous owner must have never used it because sometimes I have difficulty flipping it out the scales. Stiff... but I love it.

BM did excellent knives with the H&K label and even a weapon-oriented blacked out multitool (pretty lame IMO)  :P

but as happened with its red class (Asian Benchmades) it apparently "lowered" the brand's perception and "top quality" business model so they ditched them out, now Hogue is doing the work for H&K and now that the AXIS patent has expired (2018) they've been the first ones to put that lock on their knives,  :whistle:
