My new EDC. Awesome knife, probably one of the best knives I've ever bought.

Amazing edc. Big knife but carries like a small knife. Have many many BM's but this is the one that ends up going with me 90% of the time. I'm a leftie and appreciate the neutral assisted opening.

Came dull out of the box. Blade not centered, and the pivot collar completely loose. Not sure what the deal is, but Benchmade used to be THE go-to for knives, but the last two new ones I have purchased have been lacking in quality control.

This knife did not come out as sharp as I am used to a Benchmade being out of the box. The screw that holds the pivot collar in was completely loose, and the blade was not centered. I had to play around for several hours to get everyhthing the way it should be, and hopefully it all holds. if not, this brand new knife will be sent back to Benchamde for a tune-up. Already, and if that does not rectify the issue, then I will be looking for a different go-to brand for knives.

Love this knife. Been holding off on buying in hopes it would be offered in another steel like cruwear. Very happy with it. Lock is a little tight but hope it loosens over time.

Nice mechanism for opening and closing, but the blade is not as sharp as my Kershaw knife

This knife is my current EDC and likely will be for quite some time. Solid materials and edge retention/sharpening. Excellent ergonomics and action, it sports a large, beefy spear-point blade suitable for all my outdoor, hunting and self-defense needs. This is not my cardboard box knife?this is my everything else knife.

It opens without much effort. It is balanced in the hand and feels very sturdy. I looks great. Its weight is on the higher side but I don't look at that as being a negative. Overall, I would recommend this knife.

A wonderful blade, exactly what I was looking for. If I had any kind of criticism is that the action be just a little quicker to open.

Vector arrived very sharp and surprised by how light it was. I love how the spine of the blade is somewhat thin and it splices through just about anything. The flipper deployment is very smooth and fast and it's built solid.

I haven't had the knife for very long, but so far I like it. Nice build quality, seems super sturdy. Came with a very sharp edge. Feels very nice in the hand. I have a decent collection of EDC knives, but this will definitely be in rotation.

I was hesitant to spend so much on a EDC pocket knife. I am so glad I did! It is very well built, has the perfect weight, and is super sharp. I couldn't be happier.

This is the first Benchmade knife I have ever purchased and I am very happy I did. The quality of this knife is outstanding. Everything from the sharpness of the blade to the assisted opening mechanism which helps to swiftly and efficiently open the knife. I wanted a light knife and I am very happy with the weight of this one as it is light not bulky and is perfect for an edc knife. I am very happy with the looks of this knife as well. I think that is also an important factor with knives and this one is aesthetically pleasing. This is a gift for my dad as I wanted to get him a quality knife since he carries one daily. I am confident he will like this knife and as soon as I can, I'm getting one for myself.

The Vector G10 I just received is my third Benchmade knife. I also own the Station knife and the Infidel switchblade. Impeccable quality is why I own these knives and will buy more. These things are scary sharp and they stay sharp. I love these knives and am proud to own them.

As expected, but better. Enjoyed the assist on my beloved mini Barrage so wanted the feature but with a larger blade. Was uncertain how I'd like the flipper design and holy smokes it is perfect. Awesome blade, great looks, fits the hand well, and the assisted-flipper is the icing on the cake. Why'd I wait so long.

I have been daily carrying this knife since I got it about 2 weeks ago. Initial impression: IT IS SHARP! I did note that the fold/unfold mechanism is a bit stiff but it is a brand new knife, although this did cause me to drop it once early in. At about 2 weeks now of regular use it has worn in noticeably and hopefully will continue to. It is a bit larger than other folders I've carried but not huge, and that is not an issue for me. Did I mention its sharp? I've been using it like other knives I've had for years but I've never had a blade hold an edge like this. The only thing I wish was different about the Vector is honestly the colors, maybe some green or brown handle/blade options would be nice. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase and would absolutely recommend anyone looking for an assisted open folder look at the Vector.

This is my third bench made knife and it is exceptional quality just like every one I've purchased. Very happy with it and will be buying my future knives from bench made

Amazing quality. The assisted opening function is powerful and snaps into place with a fluid and smooth motion. Blade came sharp enough to shave hair of my body. Very satisfied and am looking forward to getting more benchmade knives in the future.

This knife is Excellent. The handle fits my large palm. The assist mechanism is smooth. I will for sure be looking at other bench made Knives in the future John Bovia.

Great blades. I have a bum finger and these can be easily opened with one hand. Smooth, sharp and built to last. Will be a lifetime customer!
