You know, I'm not a Benchmade hater by any means, but they were price-gouging on OTF autos until the Kershaw Live Wire was released. Now they they've come down in price a bit, by necessity, since there's finally a little bit of competition other than just Microtech, but they still price this at $100 more than a Magnacut Tanto Live Wire, when the Live Wire has better fit and finish, tighter lockup, and a much nicer deployment action. I'd advise anyone to get the Live Wire first, if you don't already have one.

I dig the color combo. They have been knocking it out of the park on the aesthetics lately! Cheers!

I like the color combo 🔥 thanks for showing us Zach ✌🏻

Awesome stuff zach!!!!!I LOVE IT.....benchmades tantos are some of the best I've ever seen!!

Very Kool as always my dude

Good looking OTF👍 Thanks for Sharing Zach.

I dig the sage green

I love that color way and hope to get an otf one day but if I don't Ill live lol fantastic job Zach I appreciate it.😊

Very cool knife. I won't lie, not my favorite color but still a great slicer. Thanks for sharing

That's gold class price for black box material. Come on benchmade

Good stuff! Have one coming early next week. Love the color combo, it works for some reason.

The gold wouldn't be my choice just black hardware would've been great. Mom loved teal this would've been great.

I like the color, but these lanyard loops are goofier than the glassbreakers. As Shabazz said, “[OTF’s deployment is] loud and proud every time.” The novelty wore off for me. Of the seasonal colors I think my favorite was the Mesa Red and Seafoam, and I also liked pinkish Alpine color (I forget the exact name). How did you beat Benchmade’s model notification email with this video, Zach? 🤔 9:58 ~1% chance I believe an “accidental deployment” story from a double action OTF 🙄🤷‍♀️ Orders of magnitude more plausible from single actions and OTS. Thanks for the video, Zach.

I like the sage! I want to see the gold accents in person before I pull the trigger.

wow- not for me but WOW

I just like the black color. I also prefer the claymore otf I think.

You get all the cool benchmades .i just sent mine in for some warranty work

It's a good looking OTF, but I feel like it's overpriced for grivory, when you have the Livewire and even the Axial Shift coming in at a lower price point. The Microtech Ultratech is around the same price as well. Just things to keep in mind.

I am glad that it's not so plastic Im down the road from SMKW and there is another one close can't remember lol I think I'll go check some knives out now that I am thinking about it

It’s a good looking combo!

DANG that looks good!

The shootout is great. Love my seafoam and red/orange ones. Great edc, great slicer.

Not a fan of the sage green, but it's still a sweet knife. Great stuff as always man, keep preaching the Benchmade gospel 😎👍

Love the weight, but hate the color. Thanks for the video Zach.

Something New , for sure !

Yes Bailout needs more recognition

I like it

Red button and lanyard ring for the Christmas 🎄 edition.

Holy Crapola 😅!!!

At least when Spyderco tries to sell you the same knife multiple times they’ll usually put it in a new steel. Don’t see the appeal of these seasonal releases that are just different colored plastics.

I want that blade in the black scales. The shootout is a great knife. Don't like the new price.

shootout ok

Keep taking care of business Zach. Take care.

Looks like a fish when its un opened. not a fan of the "green and gold". I do like the blade though

Interesting.
