Yeah, the Benchmade Axis Lock is absolutely NOT a joke. I have plenty of them. My favorite, and the favorite of many, many others as well.

I have to disagree. My favorite knives (dragonfly, chaparral, delica, caly) are all lockback, but the lockback is by far my least favourite lock. I have learned to deal with the up and down movement in the Japanese knives, but it still bothers me at times. Also, when I worked construction the lockb...

Bring on another Jester, please!

Absolutely a Jester. If you bring it, sales will come.

A perfect end to a perfect day.

Congratulations!

Really cool post, thank you.

Burgundy, PE, VG-10 hollow grind for me. I'll get a few.

Good decision.

I don't think you are anal-retentive (excessively orderly and fussy) at all. And I certainly do not think you are being anal (*******). You are simply expecting a great product from a company that makes lots of them. The Chaparral isn't a cheap trinket. If you are not satisfied send it back under wa...
