The pocket clip can be reversed for right or left handed use. Mel Pardue design.
Customer Reviews
Update: love this knife. Amazing lock up, absolutely no blade play. Not a huge fan on blade shape but that it my fault for purchasing this model. Great knife to fidget with. 100% recommend to anybody interested.
The blade shape and steel are great. I do love benchmades 154cm.
If you plan on getting one, do yourself a favor; wait to get paid one more time and spend the extra $50 to get the g10 model.

I've had this knife only over a week, but it has become my favorite of all my knives. It bests my Boker Kihon, Boker Strike, and CRKT Pilar Large. (All knives that I love and enjoy)
Pros:
1. The textured grip on the handle bites into your handle and makes the knife feel secure.
2. The thumb hole lets you flip the knife open with ease without hurting your thumb like a thumb stud does.
3. The AXIS lock without a doubt makes this knife one handed operation. I can sit there and flick the knife open and closed with one hand all day.
4. The integrated jimping on the blade and handle are laid out very well and add extra grip where you hold the knife.
Cons:
1. I haven't found any yet.
I would recommend this knife or any of the Griptilian series to anyone. It is a quality knife and worth the money.
