Still great knives!

I have a first gen freek with the rubber wrapped handles. Still a great knife but the new one with the g10 handle is a definite upgrade! Love it so far!

Very good material and build quality.

Very well built knife by Benchmade. It's not cheap because it was built in the U.S. instead of overseas. It has top quality materials for bladesteel and the handle. If you want a strong, well-built knife with a great warranty, you can count on Benchmade.

Benchmade: sturdy, solid blade for everyday use.

Pricey, but worth it. Lifetime sharpening!Good, solid workmanship and excellent materials.Not fully self-opening, but opens fairly easily.

S90v with carbon fiber, yes please

What a beauty. Nice size. Was a little stiff but breaking in nicely with a little KPL. The CF is a nice touch.

It's a knife

Came out of the box sharp and ready to go. The steel is high quality and hasn't been nicked or scraped yet. The axis lock allows for smooth deployment or you can hold it down and flick the knife closed. The aesthetics are eye catching.Part of the price of this knife is the look of it. Let's be honest. It's stealth flashy. Higher quality than the skull, dragon, and flame knives of mall stores and gas stations, but also more subtle in its flair. It could be all black, or have a simple single colored handle, but it doesn't. It has the color scheme of a blackbird stealth plane. And if that's your jam, then the extra bucks will feel worth the cost.My favorite thing about the knife though is the handle shape. It fits perfectly into my hand. And that is 100% a personal preference thing. Everyone's hands will be slightly different, but the shape, grooves, and placement of the clip on this knife all align perfectly in my grip. I used a BUCK knife before, because I liked the handle shape. My previous EDC was a SOG model that had a boxy frame (I did not like that knife). The shape of a knife's handle matters a lot to me. The fact that this knife fits so nicely in my hand is a huge bonus, but I can't recommend someone else buys it just because it fits nicely in my hand.Buy it because you like the look, you want quality materials, and Benchmade's life time sharp program sounds like a great deal.

The Fancy Freek! $$$greet tool knife!

You need to know that as a knife this is a great tool. I had the M4 super freek for years and when this version was announced I knew I needed one. The CF handle is pretty so I think the fancy Freek is a good nick name for it. I don't hard use this knife but it probably would handle it with no problem but within the limit of the S90V steel. S90V holds an edge for a really long time and you won't have to sharpen it often providing you cut with it and you don't do non-knife stuff with it. It is a full size knife and fills the hand nicely for me and I have medium/large work glove size hands. If you can sallow the price you will definitely like the knife and it will serve you for a really long time and the lifetime warranty Benchmade has will always be there. It's a quintessential Benchmade!My issues are more with Benchmade price increases and the select edge nonsense. The last round of increases in my opinion every single product they have lost what little "value" they had left. Also the select edge isn't very good IMO. I have bought 5 knives from Benchmade since they started the select edge sharpening process and they all have sucked. The edge that came on this latest freek was basically a giant burr and I resharpened it immediately. I have a love hate relationship with Benchmade which dates back to the late 90's and many blades. So great knives but they have issues and are $$$. The end!

4 Year Review - Why I bought 3 More of The FreeK M4

I bought this knife 4 years ago and it has been my edc ever since then. I use it multiple times a day and it has never failed me. I've probably opened and closed it thousands of times and the lock and springs are still working fine. I run an ebay business and cut boxes with it all the time. The edge retention is so good that I don't even use a box cutter anymore, I just use the Freek. A light stropping a few times a week keeps it sharp enough for boxes and I sharpen it on a buffing wheel about one per month. The knife is a beast and super thick for hard use. I go hiking and carve sticks, cut small tree branches, etc. As a knife nut I never have an edc more than 6 months before I buy another. I just like getting new knives and trying "the new best thing". Every time I get that itch now I look at this knife and can't find any reason to buy another. I like it so much that I bought 3 more and they're sitting here new in the box so I'll always have one in case Benchmade ever discontinues the model.

10/10 stars as an EDC knife.

I own a few Benchmades- OTS-OTF- and manual side openers.Same goes for Microtech.I also own a few Bucks, Kershaws- auto& manual and the list goes on.I own a LOT of EDC type pocket knives!While I could never be able to say 1 knife is actually the best over all the others- there are a few other 10/10s in my collection- this particular knife fits in that group.I'm 60- a veteran- a former construction worker- landscape worker- warehouse inventory manager and currently a trucker of the last 22 years.You can't go wrong with this knife as a pocket carry EDC. I would definitely buy it again.
