Does anybody have one and can comment on it before I lay down the cash for one? Thanks

I own a Benchmade 950 Rift, Black and Charcoal G10 Scales, Plain Edge and believe it is one of the best knives that I own. I think you get a good product from them. Good luck with a new purchase, the worst that can happen is you'll have to buy & try another knife.

I have been thinking of replacing my long lost Benchmade Stryker with a new one, however I've been eying the Rift quite a bit.

How long have you had yours and can you elaborate on what you like about it?

How does it fit in your hand, and is it comfortable and secure using a reverse grip?

I like the fact that it isn't an assisted opener. All the new model Strykers have the Nitrous Assist and because of that, I've been shying away from it.

I bought a mini barrage as soon as they came to my local retailer. The Axis is my favorite lock, and i own other Axis Benchmades, but i wanted the AO feature. I also own several Kershaws and CRKT AO knives. The Barrage snaps open with authority! It is a little thick. but all my Benchmades are thicker than the others. I really like the mini barrage.

I think I've had it about a year?not sure
It was an impulse buy. I liked the look of it. The grip/reverse grip is great.
It replaced a Spyderco Scorpius non-ser which is a great knife
Naturally if it was up to me I'd have a new knife more often.

Thanks bakes! I appreciate the input!

Hope you enjoy it. I got to play with one when I was at the Benchmade factory store a couple weeks ago when I was on vacation. It's a great knife. It's well balanced and the assisted opening mechanism is fantastic! It's definetely on my list.

I just got it, I love it. I am going to order another one with a serrated blade. It is an excellent knife in my opinion. It is taking the place of my Spyderco Natives.....which took the place of my Benchmade Mini-Griptilian. Guess I am a Benchmade kind of guy
