An every day carry. My first benchmade...and I am much pleased

I went down the utube fake benchmade rabbit hole, and got worried enough to drive it down to the bench made factory, and turned it into life sharp. They confirmed it and the box is real. You will also love this knife!

When you buy a knife like this, you're buying the name and the quality. This knife feels amazing in your hand. The blade quality is amazing, the handle feels nice, it's all jsut great... that said, idk how many people really' need' a $200 ish knife. I bought this to celebrate something in life under the idea I'd have it for years so I was okay w/ the price.. that said, there are many other 'cheaper' knives out there that will work almost a well for a majority of people out there..Am I saying this knife is bad? No. it's amazing. I'm just unsure any of us need $200 knives.

This is my EDC for over a year now. I absolutely love this knife. It fits very well in my pocket to the point I forget it’s there and quality is the best I’ve ever owned. Very happy well worth the money

I did not expect it to be so small for that price. Benchmade makes great knives but the value/cost ratio is unexpectedly low. For the price of this small Osborne, I could have had a larger Adamas

Very good size for EDC use. I gave it to my son as a gift and he carries it daily. I like the deep green color and the blade shape. Another quality Benchmade product!

I wanted a knife that I could clip inside a pocket and not create a bulge, or block my access to the pocket. This one is perfect for that.Pros--Thin enough to carry in a pocket-Smooth sides to not drag on pocket, but still grippy enough-Feels like it will stay closed in a pocket.-It's the mini, so it fits in a pocket well, I did think it was a touch larger than I wanted when I bought it, but as thin as this is, it worked out to be a really great size.-Benchmade (eversharp guarantee, axis lock, secure pocket clip on either side, etc.)Cons--Well, it's a Benchmade, so it's going to be expensive I certainly wasn't surprised, nor did I see this as a real issue, but some might.
