Benchmade Knives: 908BK-1501 Axis Stryker II - Carbon Fiber - Black Blade - Drop Point - CPM M4

Amazing knife and absolutely beautiful.striking in fact no punn intended. Gorgeous,comfortable and secure carbon fiber handle. Ergos are different but very very good.has functional jimping (bravo Benchmade!) and a thumb "stop" or very short thumb ramp.it works great! Its secure in hand and offers multi grip versatility. Classic and sexy blade shape.well centered and very sharp.awesome CPM-M4 steel is my favorite.takes rediculous edge and holds it extremely well.takes a minute to sharpen but lasts loooong time.love it! Keep it clean and oiled to prevent corrosion though. Action is buttery smooth,no play. Lockup is secure but has tiny bit of vertical play until i force the lock bar forward a bit.i expect it to wear in eventually however.common with some axis-locks. To sum it up its simply one of the most handsome and striking high performance folders out there. Can handle tactical,EDC and gent knife duties equally well. An awesome knife and extremely highly recommended. When you see it wearing a mirror polished edge your jaw will drop!

Absolutely the best knife you could own for the money. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Super light for the size and a solid all around knife. This was my first cpm m4 steel knife and blown away with it as well love the coating keeps the patina away. Could go on. An absolute must have for any true knife junkie

I own the Axis Stryker mini with 154 CM steel, and I just purchased this upgraded stryker with the M4 steel, very happy with the cutting edge. And excited about the better steel. The overall build quality is excellent. I would love to see a matching mini version, just for the sake of reduced weight. Although from the specs you can see that the full-size is not bad at 4.3 ounces. Great HEC knife for edc

very good quality, Represents an HEC EDC knife, High end Carry knife. After one week of break in, pivot mechanism runs as smooth as butter. I love the upgraded steel as it has better edge retention.

Let's start with, I love M4 steel. I have a Spyderco GB so I knew I wanted more knives with this steel. I initially dismissed it because of the coating as I really like the slight patina the steel will take but broke down and gave the knife a chance. I'm glad I did. I tend to fidget a lot and the axis lock is ideal for that. The handle is comfortable in all grips I use and the knife rides well in pocket. Nothing negative to say about the knife, I'm not minding the coating, it's really tough. I hit a couple hd staples and not only did it not even knick the blade but they barely scratched the ceracoat. If you're on the fence like I was, get it. You won't regret it.

nice
