    I agree. The Benchmade "super" freek is perfect! But then, so is the 550 griptillian with the sheepsfoot blade with licensed Spydy hole. Ditto for the Ritter grip.
    And the Knives Ship Free exclusive 908 stryker in carbon fiber and CPM-M4.
    And the de-assisted 581 barrage with aluminum bolsters/G-10 and M390 blade steel.
    And......... well, theres quite a few "perfect" Benchmades imo.
    But this mini freek just might be the perfect, perfect Benchmade!
    Im really sweating it. Something about those red thumbstuds on that bright finished blade and carbon fiber handle.
    It just looks.....SPECIAL.
    Gonna have to.add one to my collection.

  • @bahjinelson3986
    @bahjinelson3986 3 года назад +1

    Your video is done well. I will take your challenge to refute some claims though. When it comes to pricing you say that the knife is priced reasonable because you know about the complexities of cost analysis, however, you don't have that information in front of you. I can, right now, buy s30v at retail cost for $7 per blade of this size and buy s90v from the same retailer for $8 per blade. There will of course be some difference in machining cost and heat treat but the reality is that Benchmade is pushing the market value up because it can bear it due to consumer cultivated prestige, the value of s90v to us consumers, and the artificial value placed on it by companies through supply/demand manipulation...like with diamonds. I've had two business owners do this in front of me with no other justification. Prices already make these knives unattainable for many and I feel that we shouldn't support price hikes by justifying the cost without empirical reasoning. Concerning the deep carry clip: people have different hands and different preferences. The deep carry clip isn't just a hot spot because of it's size, it's because of the tall loop that's placed right at the end of the handle. It works better on some handles more than others and in some hands more than others. It's a matter of preference. Thanks for reading this; I wouldn't have bothered contributing if I didn't like your video. I enjoy hearing about your user experience and opinion.

    @voxfan7403 2 года назад

    I doubt anyone would argue S90V is inferior to S90V, but I will argue S90V is inferior to S35VN. The reason is that S90V is relatively flawed. While S90V has relatively good edge retention and corrosion resistance, its toughness is relatively weak. In comparison, S35VN is relatively flawless as its toughness and edge retention are relatively moderate and its corrosion resistance is relatively good. With no flaws - relative to the universe of 55 knife blade steels empirically and objectively assessed by metallurgist, Dr. Larrin Thomas - and with a far more affordable price, I'll take S35VN on a folding-blade or fixed-blade knife anytime rather than S90V, which is prone to chipping. I suppose S90V on a folding-blade pocket knife might be okay if you're willing to baby it, but why pay such an exorbitant price for a knife with limited utility? I buy knives to use them.

    • @yankee2yankee216

      So do I, but I recognize that different knives work better in different applications, and that 99% of my applications are opening packages… Therefore, what I really need is a very light, sharp knife that is easy to carry, which a small knife like this is perfect. If I were doing a lot of heavier work, I’d get a bigger knife, for sure.

    Your spewing some false facts there you can get a quality s110v for $150 range. Pricing is also based on competitors. There exists USA made knives that are cheaper, better quality, steel and better QC. So how does benchmade justify charging a premium? Either they are inefficient or are trying to artificially increase their margins... maybe there's a reason they arent as sucessful as other companies... The way you review things is really strange theres an overall tonality that makes it seem like no other knife companies or knives exist.
