Most likely being made in small batches, like the Hogue Ritter.

Hogue told me the copper version was only for Blade show, so I guess I'll wait until they make one similar or go without

Just ordered. I have had two grips and sold both, but my hogue Ritter is a tank and going to stay. If they build this one the same way I can totally see it being a winner.

don't be silly, those are no defense against a mob of angry villagersUnboxed it.
Blade shape and handles are nice, feels good in hand. Fasteners are all T8. There is a bunch of them on this little knife.
But, blade is not centered and the lockbar is crooked. Same problem on my Ritter, one of the springs is sprung.(Wolff springs?)
There is a dark spot on the blade.Heat treatment?
Blade thickness is 2.35mm, not 2.54mm (.100").
Thumb studs cannot be taken off without a special tool.(no Torx or Hex)
2 bolt pocket clip is very thin and proprietary. I would prefer 3 bolt clip.
Disappointed. I was hoping this knife would be better than this.
I am sending this back.

Arrived and returned the same day. Good design with poor execution. Centering was off and it had blade play, thoroughly unacceptable for $150. Oh well.

Too bad they had to copy BMs QC, should have stopped after the lock lol. Still love the hogue ritter though, they got that one right.Damn, that’s disappointing. Very cool design let down by poor execution. Kinda sounds like a lot of Benchmades
