Great review , great knife. Thinking about a purchase now. Happy Anniversary Larry and your wife of 50 years!

[@BigRedEDC]

Thank you very much Bruce!

[@slick_slicers]

My lanyards are relatively uninspiring, but, as you’re now a subscriber, I didn’t take any of them off in my videos, so you can see them. I mostly limit them to lanyard and snake knots, some with beads, though I have thrown in the odd other knot from time to time. I like leather as well as paracord, and did a simple lanyard knot in brown leather for my Proper.

[@BigRedEDC]

Right on. I have lanyards on a few of my smaller knives but usually not on my main EDC knives!

[@JetFuelEDC]

5 years is a feat! Let alone 50 wow! Congrats to Larry and his bride! The Benchmade proper is a cool little knife I was fortunate to catch someone who bought it and didn’t care for so for the price he had it a snatched it up in. A hurry. Awesome review as always!

[@BigRedEDC]

I totally agree my friend!! Sweet little knife for sure!! Thanks brother!

[@slick_slicers]

I meant to say. As my wife and I just had our 30th anniversary last year, I fully appreciate what it must be to manage a full 50 years. It’s great to know your partner in life, through thick and thin, but sadly it’s so rare in this day and age for a marriage to last so long. Your friend is truly blessed! Please pass on my heartfelt congratulations!

[@BigRedEDC]

Congrats to you on 30 years! My wife and I will hit that mark next year!

[@slick_slicers]

Congratulations to you too! Obviously I know what it takes to make it to such a huge milestone!

[@Outpost_76]

I love the Proper, keep the videos coming JB.

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks for watching brother!

[@cutlerynovice9305]

Awesome Benchmade knife review!!!

[@BigRedEDC]

Thank you!

[@ocomegashadowstacking5886]

@@BigRedEDC you're welcome!!!

[@brittain522]

I love the knife! I wanted to see how the lanyard and bead looked on it.

[@BigRedEDC]

Sorry I didnt show that!

[@mikelikesknives428]

Nice knife and Larry sounds like a hell of a guy.

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks Mike and thanks for watching!

[@dougwilson9444]

Happy anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Larry! Something I'm always interested in with pocket knives is the width. Could you start including that in the dimensions please?

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks Doug and I would be happy to do that. What width are you looking for? Width of the knife across the spine, width of the scales as they lay in the hand or just more dimensions overall? The Proper has a width across the spine of .4" and a scale width of .82"

[@BigRedEDC]

My next review of the Buck 112 Slim Ranger is already recorded but I will try to remember to add those in the comments.

[@dougwilson9444]

I'm not looking for anything in particular, just always interested in how thin a knife is in the pocket. That Proper looked a lot thinner than I had imagined.

[@BigRedEDC]

Sure thing Doug. I will be happy to add handle thickness and width into my reviews. If it makes the content more interesting for you...no problem!!

[@slick_slicers]

An interesting wee knife. I’ve two, one the same as this and the limited edition DLC and blue G10 versions. I do like them, but I prefer my Enzo PK70s better.

[@BigRedEDC]

Never handled a PK70. Thanks for watching!

[@slick_slicers]

Thank you for replying, Try a quick search on KZbin, or pop by my channel to see a couple. Of the 50 or so slip-joints that I have, they’re without a doubt, the best.

[@BigRedEDC]

I will check it out for sure!!

[@jrrodriguez9503]

Please post a pic of the lanyard... been really contemplating one for mine.. but haven't been able to decide on exactly what I want

[@jrrodriguez9503]

Happy Anniversary Larry

[@BigRedEDC]

You bet buddy...will do!

[@traditionallarry5378]

Hey Jody a real great review of my knife,I never realized how low the jimping was it really doesn’t bother me

[@BigRedEDC]

I just really like jimping. It's there but doesnt have much grip to it. It's a very beautiful knife and I am very happy to have put the lanyard on it for you!
