Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

Jii

Received my Benchmade today. Here it is next to my Spydie Persistence:

Pros:
CRAZY sharp straight outta the box
Love the blade shape
Very easy to operate onehanded
LOVE the AXIS lock. Engages perfectly, you feel a nice reassuring click when it locks but it's not loud.
The clip seems to be very sturdy
Cons:
The handle feels subpar and plasticky. Would prefer OEM G10 scales.

The knife isn't that big after all, might even be able to EDC it. It's a bit on the thick side thanks to the scales, I'll have a go at making a custom pair to slim it down. See how that'll work out

My daily carry is a Lagiole En Aubrac. I got it in Provence and absolutely love it. I get more complements on it than any other accessory I own.

There are tons of nice Laguiole knives, but I think its a regional thing, like how Champaigne is made in Champaigne by various makers. I have a really shitty quality Laguiloe knife, and have seen really nice ones as well. Regarding history, anyone know the original brand?
