486

 

[BMCGear]

Not my style but something different with great blade steel!

 

[99cuts]

great blade shape. the handle i would have to see in person.

 

[Babyboomer]

I like the Nakamura designs, but I hear you about the handle. Having said that, I originally wrote off the 484 because of the finger grooves -- but when I got to handle one at my dealer I loved it. So I'll be looking at this one when it shows up.

Seems like you’d get a lot of gunk, debris, etc through the holes in the handle.

Should be pretty easy to clean out though.

Benchmade As soon as I see one on this side of the border, I'll be snagging one! Love the design from Seiichi Nakamura, and I LOVE that it's sporting something other than S30V (no issues with S30V, but as the saying goes, "variety is the spice of life")! Nicely done with this collab

When can it be preordered?

 

[kaput]

Is that a full flat? If so, righteous!

 

[DrRollinstein]

AMAZING looking knife. Too damn small. Like come on. Easily one of my favorite knife designs, but under 7 inches? Ouch ouch ouch. The Sage 5 is the smallest knife i own, and thats only because the ergonomics work extremely well.

This hurts my feelings benchmade.

 

[Popsickle]

This looks like mantis and Benchmade had a baby. Wow this is just bad!

 

[Grizz484]

Right on point for me size, something different, great blade steel, weight. I'm ready to get one in my hands!

too much handle

 

[AmosPaul]

I love all the Nakamura designs. This one is going straight to the top of my purchase list.

 

[DrRollinstein]

You're right. But i feel like it could sell more at just a bit bigger. Unless they plan to do a mega Saibu.

 

[lovescamaros]

The sub 3 inch blade for a edc appeals to alot of people. I could see a 3.5 inch blade version if this sells well though.

 

[Fattires]

I really like this one. Just the right size to carry to the office.

 

[Mick_1KRR]

Way too much handle for that blade, knives with this ratio always look like they've been sharpened for a decade and the blade has shrunk. Also kinda looks like a Rat 1 blade with a strange handle.
