Bought this back in 2019 and regularly use it when hiking, hunting, or just walking my dog in the neighborhood and need to protect myself from wild pitbulls. This is an absolutely fantastic knife that actually saved my life in 2021. I was white water rafting and fell out of the raft. As I was going down the river my vest got caught on a log in the river and I had water ramming into my face so hard I couldn't breath. I had this attached to my waste via a belt and I was able to cut my life jacket where it was snagged and float away.

great job Eric! really great looking blade my friend

Great review ! And it looks like a great knife for our Canadian climate especially in winter

Great looking blade for sure. Would not mind having one at all.

Right off the gecko, I like this video as much as I like the looks of this knife. I'm seriously considering buying one, and came here for the reviews.

Great review. I agree 100% . Thumb ramp does kind of get in the way. I also noticed the tang in the bottom part of the handle when I've chopped. I love the knife it is a crossover for sure tactical and Bushcraft mix than one weaning a little heavier to the Tactical side I would say

Thanks, tempt me with a $200.00 knife but it looks worth every penny.

thanks for the video mate helped a lot

A dedicated Fighter/Soldier Knife.

Always liked Benchmade

Which would you prefer for a camping/survival the arvensis or the bushcraft im trying to decide?

How did you get your Esse 6 blade coating to look worn

Benchmade discontinued this good looking knife.Hopefully, Benchmade will bring the knife back with CPM 4V steel or MagnaCut steel.

Benchmade are quality knives. But the price is holding me back for now. I'll probably get one later. Looks excellent for tactical and good for woods. Intended use must always be addressed. The chances of me using my knife for tactical use is very slim; however, it has happened. Therefore, I never buy any knife without a guard or good locking mechanism (folder). This knife has that as well as good steel, clip point, super sheath, and right blade length. I might have missed it, but what is the blade grind? Sabre?

One great Factor you pointed out with that Banger Choi on the blade you cannot have a protruding top on the top part of the blade you cannot have that that was for the manufacturer's a snipe users we know this

Worth $250?

Say Heah Eric, I always said, "A good Military Tactical Knife will in the bush" and for a tactical looking knife, It's one of my Go To wet and snoey weather knibds. I teamed mine with my Bokor Coye Ridgeback, I carry my Arvensis horizontal and covked up-forward my Ridgeback for easy excess, It's a lite combo and I enjoy using it. I added my Estwing Double bit Hatchet and my Corona which I have it in my Silky Sheath for my BigBoy200, It will fit most Bigboy Saw's, anyhow it work's with my Corona. I also use my Gerber Multi Tool because I fo use the Awl alot. But, Yeah, The Arvensis Rock's. Thanx You for sharing it. ,, .

Say Heah Eric, Yeah, I got mine for my B'Day, I teamed mine up with my Bokor Coye Ridgeback. I have to admit, It was difficult to Piggyback the two knives, since their Sheath's are both Taco Sheath's and the holes don't cooperate. But with a chain and some ties (2) their held together great now. Both knives really compliment eachother great. Thanx You. ,, .

Say Heah, Yeah, They made sure the tip would be strong, It's a deliberate design. I also teamed up my Arvensis with a Coye Rigeback. A nice cimbo that compliment eachother,, I like my 119 Arvensis. I initially bought it for my wet and snowy conditions But it work's great in all weather, Infact sometimes I forget why I bought it fir. Yeah, I will suggest this knife.,,.

Not for you buddy 👎 BK-5 is now only $53...I'll cut a deal with you: if you don't like it I'll buy it from you for that price 👍 You just pay the shipping to California!I What do you say? Blazin'Blades

Decent knife, make a good all rounder/survival knife, " right off the gecko " ! makes absolutely no sense at all, find a new catchphrase bud 👌🏻atb.
