It is the worst knife Benchmade makes/ made. Funny that you were given one. Not the first time I've heard about that happening
I gave up on that pos after realizing it needed deep cleaned once every 3 days or it wouldn't lock in when you engaged the blade
Old school knife works
Smokey mountain knife trader
Those are the only 2 I know of with that extensive of a collection and a staff with knowledge.
Smokey mountain would probably offer you a very fair cash offer if you went through the week.
I have an older model sog tool that is my favorite. I like the victorinox (swiss army) ones as well.
I will post a photo of the 2 ive narrowed down to later
For the price, the leatherman wave is a great value.
But the sheaths are crap. I have lost 2 and had to start looking at other options.
the way i understand it is you just let it fall and sorta hit at an angle to side split. Not about strength necessarily. .. more about consistently and i would imagine wood grain
