Oh yeah!  That one, really rocks Mr. Chip.  :like: :tu:

Thanks eTripper, I was lucky to get it everywhere sold out real fast.
My trouble is i never show initiative, but that's only because no one has told me to.

Thought I would 'tighten-up' some groups at-the-range today.  "Benchie" was my designated knife for today.

I was checking-out my 'edge' at-the-range.  When loaded with typical 230-gr. hardball, the S&W 625 is a tack-driver.  Deadly, at 7-yrd. combat-range.  Sub 1 inch groups at over fifty-feet.  :cheers: :tu:

The 625 is a heavy-revolver, with little or no, felt-recoil.  It's just inherently accurate David.  Shoots to point-of-aim with head-shots, and center-mass on a regulation B24 target.  :cheers:

A lot of shooters still appreciate the 'old wheelies', me being one.  When afield, I typically stoke my 625 with .45 Supers from Double Tap.  It's a hoot, to say the least.  :D

It is mother of pearl. This knife is not worth its $800 MSRP. I think $300 is a more appropriate MSRP, with street price should be about $250. It reminds me of the SOG Arcitech with Damascus VG-10, which is just as beautiful, and cost much less.

Been back on a Benchmade kick lately. I sold of several a few months ago to the fellas here. There were other models that I really wanted so I decided to get them instead of talking myself out of it again and again.

Just picked up a 550 Griptilian (thumbhole model) in S30V, a 943 (clip point Osborne) and even though I sold my Contego (Aloha loves his!) I found a GREAT deal on a new one and picked it up. These knives fit my needs really well. I may end up getting the Benchmade 550-1 in CPM-20CV with G-10 scales (hearing good things about this knife) in the near future.

I will try to get some good picks in the next few days.

Yes I do love the Contego very much.  I carry it nearly every day and have used the heck out of it.  Glad to hear you picked up some great knives  :tu:

The 550-1 is definitely a fantastic knife. The G10 textured handle is so much nicer and better balanced than the plastic one. The only complaint I have is the choice of gray color. I would rather black.

When I first knew of Benchmade, all I saw were Griptilians, which I would honestly say lacking the cool factor. You can guess, my first Benchmade turned out to be a Grip 550-1  :dunno:
Some lucks in trading got me a few models. My current collection



I would love to see Benchmade reissue the Nagara (second from the top left). That is one sexy gentleman folder.

It is also a great comparison photo and I can understand the Nagara as a gentleman folder. Think I would go with yesterdays choice as the gentleman’s folder. The MOP and Damascus just screams ‘gentleman’s!  :hatsoff:

 :o Sweet collection.  When I first began to hear about BM I also thought the Griptillian lacked ( everything ) so I passed and passed on them  :facepalm:.  While simple the Griptillian is a great knife and now finally after years of passing on them I understand.

Thanks, guys  :cheers: Some of the ones I have are more or less collectible (first 7 from top right). Should I have them in retirement pofolio?  :D Of course, BM can pull a douche move like LM, when those retail exclusive models ended up in their regular offers.

I was able to snag a Benchmade 550-1 in CPM20CV steel with the gray G-10 scales. I wanted this knife to have its own personal flair so I ordered a flat blue titanium pocket clip and flat blue screw set for it. I was looking at possibly using dye to color the G-10 a different color...I have been reading about how to do it.

There is a gentleman from Russia that sells some very nice micarta scales online that I may eventually end up ordered (when I have the funds).
