Great knife and Great review. I pick it up in June with a orange handle from SMKW.

I remember in the mid 90's seeing a gun magazine that had a full page back cover ad advertising a Benchmade knife. at that point in time I had never heard of Benchmade but the ad caught my attention. A dinner table with a T-bone steak on a big plate and a big fork holding down the steak. The knife had cut through the plate the fork and the T-bone in one clean surgical slice. I didn't have an in depth knowledge of knife blade metallurgy at the time but that ad really was an attention getter. I had to have one... I remember talking with a guy that ran a knife shop at a mall and he said that the blade steel was nicknamed the "Steel of the Gods" and took the knife I had on me and shaved the edge off of it with a Benchmade from the display case in the store. he laughed and I was a little pissed but it was not an expensive knife although, I cant recall the actual type of steel the Benchmade was. Sometime later as luck would have it back around 1996 I ran across a display case of Benchmades being sold in a pawn shop in Omaha. so I looked at them as he had a couple different types including an auto, I want to say it was an Elishewitz design but not 100% sure and actually was heavier and a little bigger than I was used to carrying but it was the "Steel of the Gods" and my knife was missing its edge so I convinced the proprietor to sell it to me being prior military (Benchmade has that rule about selling autos to civilians), spent way to much for it and the pawn shop guy says to me, you know this is a left handed knife? Well, I'm a lefty and thought WTF? is a left handed knife? Then he shows me, the blade was dull black with a single beveled edge and serrations on the RIGHT SIDE of the blade as was the release button but I cant recall the type of locking design …I want to say the handle was synthetic not metal. man there was no other like my left handed auto Benchmade "Steel of the Gods" knife and I carried that treasure with me for a dozen years before I lost it in the fire...spelt divorce... I've contacted Benchmade a few times over the years trying to procure another left handed blade but seems everyone that worked there in that time frame is no longer around and the people I did speak to told me I am mistaken as no such animal ever existed. I've been wrong a few times in my life but this is not one of those times. there are to many memory points and quite a few people that I showed a left handed knife to, for me to be wrong. I'm hoping someone somewhere can shed some light on that knife …I mean ...I'm not crazy and they had to make more than one ... thanx for your time...

I think the backlash would be a solid choice.

Who is Larry?

[@lefthandedknifereviews4936]

Larry is my dad. He is also left handed and the review is based on both of our experiences.

What kind of lubricant do you use on the bearings?

[@lefthandedknifereviews4936]

KPL is my preferred lubricant.
