The HMBS first appeared on the Hinderer model that this knife is (arguably, i guess...) based on, the MP1.

Ok, thank you for the info! I do not know a whole lot about Hinderer, so that is much appreciated!

I'm EDC'ing the cleaver in titanium, absolutely love it. It's a little tank, super solid, feels great in hand, holds an edge, takes lots of abuse. And looks cool too. Maybe my all time favorite knife, and that's saying something. I also have the clip point, but the larger choil of the cleaver lets me put my finger up on the blade; that doesn't really work with the clip point. FYI, the bronze finish wore off the titanium but that's ok with me.

@dgbsea4140 29 күн бұрын
I have the knife, don’t love it. It’s magnacut, but I’m pretty sure the heat treat isn’t great. From factory has side to side play and rocks up and down. Never going to buy a Benchmade again
@EDCEmpire 26 күн бұрын
Yeah, BM's heat treat on Magnacut is not great (around 60-62 hrc) in terms of edge retention of it prioritizing toughness. I can confirm the Cru-Wear is much better in the edge retention respect. Factory up-and-down play is somewhat normal for Axis-style locks, so I would not be concerned about it. Side-to-side play should go away with a tiny turn of the pivot! Still, we hope you enjoyed the video!

Thanks for your review! I heard some reviewers talk about not liking the big gap on the lock interface. Is that something that you noticed?
@EDCEmpire Ай бұрын
Thank you for watching! When watching reviews before I purchased, I heard this a few times as well, but honestly, I might even have a slight preference for how the Gen 2 is milled due to the lock bar having a more consistent spacing with the rest of the back scale (for a lack of a better term, the "outline" of the lock bar). It serves no functional difference though, really it is up to you whether you want a very thin "outline" that gets thicker at the lock interface or a consistent "outline" which is just a thicker outline around the lockbar as a whole. For reference, it is slightly wider than a Sebenza 31 and I have not noticed it in use.

Hey all! If you have been watching the EDC Empire for a while, you may have seen us review the Spyderco Tenacious before (Hence the ReReview). Put it most simply, the EDC Empire is run by two friends (one of us does the editing and a majority of the reviews and the other does some reviews and the QC. Well, the first video that the second of us ever recorded was on this knife but it got struck down due to "dangerous activities." After taking a rigorous course from YT, we have learned our lesson and now have had to put disclaimers on any and all videos that contain any bladed implements or anything else that could be considered dangerous. If you happened upon that video and then never got to finish it, we hope this makes up for it! A special thank you to @RadioGeekBlades for the kind words on that video in particular, we did see it and it was much appreciated!

Great video sir! Quite enjoyed your analysis and agree with all your observations! Keep up the awesome work! Also have you tried to front flip it? That has become my main deployment of mine 😅
@EDCEmpire Ай бұрын
Thank you!! No, I have not but I am not sure how you can manage it? For me, there is nothing protruding for a front flip to be possible (like how you can front flip a sebenza), did you modify yours?

I've only tried the Mikro, so I can't really speak to Mikro vs. Makro, but the Mikro 2 with the sheepsfoot blade shape has a bit more utility than the Mikro 1 with the drop point shape.

Mine is running on bronze washers not nylon. Also despite having 100% lockup I've had zero problems with it and there's no lock stick or blade play at all. Though I can't fully tear it down cuz they used some super heavy duty loctite on scales. I wish the build quality was just as good as the design.
@EDCEmpire 2 ай бұрын
That is completely my fault, you are correct, it does run on phosphor bronze washers. That is interesting and good to hear about the lockup and play. I ran into the same issue with the pocket clip and now cannot remove it as the screw stripped; another benefit of larger fasteners.

Since prices can vary among retailers because of sales and availability, we don't feel that it is best to provide links. This is a model that is available at most of the main retailers (BHQ, Knife Center, DLT Trading, etc.), so if you want to get it, pick your favorite retailer, whatever you have the most rewards points at, or whoever has a sale.

Pretty much half the states allow auto knives, if not more. To me this is almost a novelty knife as modern auto knives with modern materials and lock systems far outclass this as working or EDC knives. But it's still cool!

The only rattle I notice is the switch, which is a side effect of the Tri-Slide. Personally, though, I did not even notice it until you mentioned anything. Even in athletic shorts, I do not notice anything; in comparison, I can hear my Reate Exo-M under the same circumstances. Thank you for your question!
