[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2306634, member: 229"] Yes, but I don't currently own a Benchmade and this was one that was almost perfect (had the scales been a bit more contoured like they are in this Blue one, I might have kept my Flipper). I've come to realize that Benchmades are just different than most of the knives I really like - I pretty much loved all of the last 5 or 6 BM knives I owned except for one little specific thing that pissed me off about that particular model. It would be different with each knife, but it always drove me up a wall that they could create such a perfect knife each time and only screw one thing up on it. I probably miss the Flipper the most, but I wasn't crazy about the feel with it being so thick (blade didn't bother me, and the liners were cool as they were ridiculously strong, but at the same time - the thick flat scales with just those few spots relieved made for a fat knife). I really like Blue laminate G10 as well - I didn't mind the Brown on the standard model, but again - shape/contour are everything when it comes to function-over-form. Which is ironic seeing as how I prefer flat-scales on a thinner folder (i.e. my Spydercos). I don't know, but right now it's down to either this guy or another Griptilian with some custom scales.
