ordered one last night-
has m390 blade steel,ti mono lock and g10-
looks like one real beef master
benchmade sibert 755
I got mine last week ... You're correct it is a little BEAST of a knife 
. The only issue I have with it, is the clip. Rides way to high in the pocket and is set up only for tip-down carry. Other than that it's an Great Design and BM did a really good job in following Mr. Sibert's original MPR. Always wanted an original, but it's a bit pricey ...settled for the production model. Maybe a custom in the future :p . Take Good Care and Be Safe Always.
God Bless :)

This design is actually about the length of a Delica ...about 7" OA. This would definitely get in the way of a tape measure in your pocket. It's also pretty thick.

nice compact knife
i held one at a store. very lightweight and solid lockup. seemed pretty thick. i had trouble opening it though, maybe with practice it would get easier (or the spydie holes got me spoiled). nice looking piece, maybe i'll get one if the price drops.
Very solid knife ...no doubt . There are a few folks I know that have this model that have issues opening it. I think it's the position of the thumb stud. With a little practice it gets easier. One thing for sure and for some strange reason ...it's much easier to open left handed. Lefties will like this design. Take Good Care and Be Safe Always.

fascinating and useful design, however I don't quite trust bench made to do the heat-treated as well, I have heard they tend to set their hardness a little high because it looks good on the spec sheets, also for me I would have to have it professionally repofiled because I do not at all like benchmades edge geometry, this is not true with all other manufacturers mostly just benchmade honestly.

I sold some stuff off and bought a 755. I'm very happy with the knife, it's a great design. Extremely thickly build, great edge geometry, very sharp.
I occasionally have to clean the blade face because lube seems to be eeking it's way between the blade face and the locking bar, resulting in a little slippage when it builds up.
When the lube's not interfering, the lockup is as good as most customs I've owned.
Overall, outstanding "little" knife!

I was at a knife store in Etobicoke today and tried out the 755. A very interesting knife. It opens and closes very smooth. I would have to say even better than most Spyderco's. Feels very solid and well put together. The ergo's on it are not for me though and the blade is too short. Plus being a south paw doesn't help in liking this knife. I'm sure it's going to be very popular.
