[@deadpoollee9497]

Pull your weight Zach an get them to make a OD green CF handles 🤞🤞🙏. It's definitely a must have

[@deadpoollee9497]

@Nick no no I want it to match my bugout an mini adams.

[@zachstuff]

Other colors have to be made! I’m on it!!

[@deadpoollee9497]

@@zachstuff you are the benchmade zar

[@FlossyCarter]

I like this one bro!

[@Knives101]

That is one great looking OTF! Benchmade is sure putting out some great knives in 2022.

[@bubba92473]

Really like the shape and form if this one Zach. Much appreciate the look my friend.

[@grimreaper6042]

This is one sweet OTF Benchmade did a great job with this one thanks for sharing Zach

[@jazminesanchez7449]

I got mine today. My first OTF knife from Benchmaid was the infidel. I’ve been waiting for this knife for a long long time and when I got it today, I opened it up and the first thing that came to my mind was the handle. I don’t know, just thought it felt kinda cheap.. felt kinda like a plastic handle. The more I hold the kindle, it’s growing on me.. and it is SUPER light!!

[@BigRedEDC]

Good looking OTF right there!! Thanks for the look Zach!!

[@scottbenefield3184]

Another awesome Benchmade thanks for the video Zach

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

I think it’s going to be fantastic it’s going to feel super light in pocket you can also throw that into a tactical roll as well it’s a win win from what I’m seeing so far!!!!! Stay well out there

[@KnivesFAST]

Thanks for the look Zach. Looks pretty cool. I'm not huge on OTFs but it does seem to be a really good option. Thanks

[@wyatthart2743]

Was at the Benchmade factory store the day it dropped. Was watching the last dozen sell like chocolate chip bacon beer hot cakes. Me and my dad both got one. It's definately a fun knife to play with. It doesn't feel like a knife made for hard use, but if you like the look it would be good for display or light use.

[@BeagsBlades]

Seemed odd to me they used cru wear on a 3 oz lightweight otf.

[@DustinFlu]

I recently went to the factory store the day the taggedout dropped and was going to get one of those and my dad came with to get a fixed blade Adamas but after we held the shootout we both walked out with one!

[@BC08]

Light doesn’t mean it isn’t durable

[@lancasteredc7773]

😂😂😂 it’s hard use my guy lol it has a steel chassis and the CF elite it’s super durable I have a presidio 2 in cf elite and it’s super tough better in my opinion than g10.. all OTF rattle and cheaper than a microtech that has horrible heat treat and their blades chip and look like Chinese knives and are crazy expensive… they also misfire like crazy and I haven’t heard a shootout misfiring 😂 how is that a display knife wtf

[@MellowMrNinja]

Great video, even more excited to get my hands on one after watching.

[@zachstuff]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@dougr5379]

I handled a Shootout at my LGS today. Reminded me of a Grindworx plastic handled knife with a high quality blade.

[@johnscarborough4746]

Definitely a hit, and looks to be well executed. If I was a first responder or military this would be a great bit of kit to add. I suspect that aggressive checkering is going to be a pants destroyer for a lot of people though.

[@my_everyday_carry]

Digging that blade shape and liking what Benchmade is offering in 2022 - thanks!

[@MiguelEDC]

Good Stuff Zach!!

[@zachstuff]

Thank you Miguel!! 🤙🏼

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Very cool! a lightweight otf seems pretty sweet and cruwear is even better. Great video Zach 👍

[@Didier090765]

How I wish OTF's were legal were I live 😢, this wouldn't perhaps be my last but definitely my first! I totally dig this one, thanks for sharing Zach!

[@dualsportoutdoors]

Just carry them anyway. I’m not supposed to carry full size autos but I do anyway. As long as you’re not waving the knife around like a lunatic or doing anything that will get you searched you’ll never get caught

[@Didier090765]

@@dualsportoutdoors That would be an option, but EU retailers do not sell OTFs, and US retailers are forbidden to export them (Benchmade policy)... Not to worry however, plentyu of other knives to enjoy!

[@bradhiserote6057]

Just ordered one and in stock, my first benchmade and looking forward to getting it! Great review and video!

[@buckshot1955]

I have one arriving today. I’m looking forward to it.

[@elijahpenberthy9449]

Your so lucky!! I wanted to get that but it’s illegal where I live.

[@zachstuff]

That’s fantastic Robert!!

[@joekasperek1086]

Man that's nice but I don't think I'll ever have one thanks for sharing Zach

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

You got me on that one Zach I’ll be picking one of them up!!!!!! Where is the best place to get one seems like everywhere is out of stock thanks bud

[@zachstuff]

Right on! They sold fast! Check some smaller dealers and might have to call them. More should be out soon!!

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Looks awesome zach!!!!!

[@D2ArkaAra]

I dig it bud! Still no OTF in the collection but some day!

[@prestoisakilla813]

can you make a video doing an in depth disassembly/ reassembly ? i really want one but i have to know how well that lock up is and how sturdy that plastic is...

[@ryuk666k3]

just came from flossy’s channel, decided to check out your channel. now i want one of these🔥🔥

[@zachstuff]

Welcome aboard! They are super lightweight and I appreciate you checking it out. Let me know if you pick one up!

[@coprolite_steve]

If I were to buy one, I could only use it at home…Maybe I could slay some garden tasks with it. I am still sorely tempted.

[@333chrispena]

I love the look of it...wish I could actually own an OTF

[@zachstuff]

The darn rules get in the way of people having fun!! Sorry Chrispy!

[@EliteLurker760]

looks great!

[@IanPSmart]

Great vid btw

[@marcuscompton3772]

I've got the autocrat and the infidel. How's the blade play? My infidel isn't bad but a little loose. I've got a lot of OTFs. Microtech benchmade guardian tactical and a few more but the autocrat is my favorite.

[@zachstuff]

Blade play is pretty normal for an OTF. The Autocrat is a Nice one!

[@rhinosaur.]

I think this will be a huge seller for Benchmade.

[@IanPSmart]

That’s gotta feel insane I want one so bad

[@bilbsk.2510]

Awesome videos,awesome knife

[@randyf.9188]

I will definitely check one out.

[@zachstuff]

Cool Randy!

[@randyf.9188]

@@zachstuff Did you end up sending my Hogue to Justin?

[@everydaycarry1328]

I was lucky enough to get one on the 21st So far it's fantastic I have compared it to my UTX-85 Similar weight but larger in size Very nice

[@zachstuff]

Right on!! Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@jaredvanbuskirk8064]

Would you recommend as a edc

[@mikejurnak0324]

Looks solid 🔥

[@timothypatterson1382]

Does your blade have much side to side movement? Up and down isn’t bad. Side to side is pretty significant.

[@zachstuff]

Pretty normal movement as most OTF's.

[@PoppaRyno]

Might have 5o check this one out. Not an OTF guy, but i do like my benchmades.

[@RelentlessRevolver7]

Ordered mine from Knife center and they havent shipped it out yet. Got home from the gun show and they all sold out too. Sad noises*

[@zachstuff]

Hopefully they got their restock for you.

[@DillonG71]

i want one of these so bad but i just bought a casbah.

[@zachstuff]

That’s a nice pick!! These will be waiting for you when you are ready!!

[@gammarayburst4763]

Just got mine today love it but when I fired it it wouldn’t go all the way and got off track. I oiled it and seemed to be working now better. How is your deployment? I feel like the close has more strength then the fire. Or maybe mine is defective.

[@zachstuff]

Mine is pretty good for deployment. If you still have troubles, definitely send it in and they will replace the track/liner for no charge.

[@Spudly0299]

Hope they make one in a drop point , I hate sharpening tantos

[@jamespranski5552]

So upset. Tried to order day after it came out, already out of stock. Hope they come out with more soon, super excited!

[@zachstuff]

You and me both! Saw more posted this last week.

[@jamespranski5552]

@@zachstuff Where at? I've been checking Benchmade and BladeHQ every 2-3 days and haven't seen any on either

[@evanacey1414]

It’s like an OTF Bailout.

[@dualsportoutdoors]

Nice looking blade. If there was a drop point version I’d be on it like dumb on california’s auto laws (which I don’t comply with anyway)

[@MrJames_Bondage]

Really want this knife, it just seems like it should be like 100-150 max

[@lamborghiniempanada7586]

This knife is solid af IMO I use it daily as my edc the blade is scuffed up a bunch but other than that it’s the ish

[@zachstuff]

Find myself carrying it several days each week. Glad to hear you like it!

[@marshalllaw123]

I was so annoyed: between the time I got the text from BHQ and me clicking the link they were sold out. COME ON!! Guess I’ll just have to pick one up at the company store whenever they have more available. In other news, I picked up a mini Bugout, and I’m loving it!

[@EchosTackyTiki]

I think this thing has a lot of potential, but I'd really love to see a double edged dagger point blade on this.

[@evanacey1414]

Then buy a Microtech or Guardian Tactical!!

[@alkishararis9347]

Hello-Hello!!!😀😀😀😀

[@elijahpenberthy9449]

I actually wanted to get that but then I found out it’s illegal where I live. So sad. 😮‍💨

[@billabbott]

I love mine The only thing I don't like is the blade moves up the 16th of an inch when you apply pressure to the blade pushing down pushing down and then return when you stop pushing that's a little annoying the side to side is excellen Very little play But even my $617 microtech Also moves up half that much The same on the side to side motion this This knife is so light And I'm very happy with the thin sharp blade design I plan on using it I don't have any use for a dagger never stabbed anybody in 58 years

[@jaredappleseed7037]

Finally no lanyard hole

[@zachstuff]

They are starting a trend! 😂

[@zachstuff]

Some sad days for a few!

Glass breaker kills it for me

[@ilikechickensausages2075]

That's a dam nice blade.....but illegal in Australia as is everything

[@sgsheff]

looks like a cool knife but the price just doesn't fit the knife especially with the materials. they even said they used cf elite so that they could "lower" the price. it just doesn't make sense

[@benelli9479]

Bruh it sold like a pair of Jordan 1s

[@elizabethmcheffey8699]

It looks a bit cheesy to be honest I think it’s the cf elite

[@jn651]

A smidge, a tad, a pinch, a hair, marginally, a wee bit, a touch, a shade, juuuuust a little

😂😂😂 I am going to use some of those!!
