| Anyone played with the Benchmade Shoki? I've been carrying an osborne daily for the last 7 yrs or so and was thinking about a new blade. Just curious if anyone had any experience with it and what their thoughts were about it. Thanks |

Yea i got one on impulse the other day. Its a beautiful knife and feels good in my hand. It is considerable smaller than I was expecting and the blade is very thin. The lack of a pocket clip is also an issue. The lock seems strong but the knife is so small I doubt you would be doing anything with it to really stress it.
I dont see it replacing my mini rukus for EDC but because of its size im carrying both at the moment. I use it at work because people dont see it as threatening at the rukus (if the only knew about the gun straped to my hip) BTW got it on ebay, with the 30% deal thats been going on with live search, brought the price down to like 85$ shipped I think. Big hell no at the 180-200$ ive been seeing it some places. I can post a pic next to my rukus if that would help. |
