Benchmade Narrows 748 WTF?

[mmyron1]

This is GKD not the PA. This thread is about the BM Narrows…and I’m actually interested to know people’s thoughts on it.

Let’s not get it closed because of political talk.

Agreed.
As for the knife. Even if it were less say around $250 it doesn't look like something I personally would be interested in. I'm not sure what the new obsession is for going lighter and lighter. It sure is a nice looking knife though.

That is a very nice looking Benchmade but there is no way that I am willing to spend that much money on one. Another member brought up the titanium Buck 110 and its price compared to the BM 748. That Buck 110 is another knife that I do not believe is worth the asking price.
I am obviously not the target demographic for these knives. To rich for my wallet.

....I'm not sure what the new obsession is for going lighter and lighter.....

It's because people are starting to come back around to the fact that knives are primarily designed for slicing and cutting chores and that's it. Thinner cuts better and lighter is easier to carry around.

Thick and heavy usually translates to clunky/awkward/uncomfortable.

Too late. Knock off the politics, people...you know what follows.

We don't have all day long to cull individual posts.

Hopefully the next effort will limit itself to knife discussion.
