Pros & Cons
Pros
The grip is awesome it locks in your hand even when wet. The clip has good retention without being too tight. I have a griptilion mini that catches nearly all of the day to day and utility work.
Almost perfect. It's aesthetically pleasing, well built, and perfect for what i use it for. Made to be grabbed and deployed quickly. I was just in awe of it.
The design is such that is tapers into the * of the knife and tucks into the corner of the pocket better than any knife i have ever owned. Despite the length of this knife, and how solid it feels, it is lightweight. This knife is with me everyday and ... Read More
Get a knife or gun oil to keep on the edge of the blade to prevent rust. The cpm m4 cutting steel used is fantastic for keeping an edge. Cleans off well has a good coating around the steel.
The blade shape, steel, and sharpness are first rate. In particular the reverse tanto blade and ambidextrous axis feature are outstanding. Great easy-flip action. Solid, buttery smooth action.
Cons
Feels good with gloves on, but it's extremely painful to use without gloves, especially when the material you're trying to get through is thick and covered in tape. Brittle steel clips seem to be a thing as the same thing happened to my griptillian. T... Read More
Highlights
Quality
The quality of this impressed me immediately and i make a living with my tools and i am very picky.
Quality is exceptional but that’s what i expect from benchmade
Next time i will buy when i can hold it and make sure i get the quality i expect from benchmade.
Yes, you get what you pay for but in this case you're getting at least a $200 product.
Price
Only complaint besides the exorbitant price is that there is no lanyard attachment point.
Great knife, but i have yet to find if it is truly worth the premium price.
Packaging/appearance
I used my barbershop strop to remove the very fine wire edge, and now, it's perfect!
I read a lot of reviews before i ordered the benchmade contego.
Competitiveness
It is a benchmade knife made with the strongest metal you will ever see in your life.
I am a fan of benchmade knifes i do have other brands of knifes and i always fall back to carry benchmade.
I own and use a lot of benchmade knives, and this is the poorest fit and finish i have gotten.
This does not affect the performance but i expect more from benchmade, especially at this price.

You really have to try to dull this thing

I have pretty much carried this knife every day for about nine months now but i really dont use it for much
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Its kind of big and not really designed for daily utility use
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Now with that being said the blade finish is a little more worn than i would expect from a bemchmade that spends a lot of time in a pocket and never actually sees any real use
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The finish on the pocket clip is also nearly gone but i do carry it n my back pocket so i cant get to upset about that
