Customer Reviews
Received it today and it's identical to the blue save for being green - more of a matte, whereas the blue is more metallic. Both have the S30V blade steel.
Upon first deployment, the blade is rock solid with zero wiggle or play. It's important to state this because with my blue version, it too came with the blade rock solid, but by week two and maybe 50 deployments later, the blade was rocking back and forth like it was about to drop out! I removed the top cover and the blade came right out - the wobble was the result of the way the blade assembly is made. The blade is fixed to a guide boss that rides between the twin steel guide rails and holds the blade in alignment, and also forms the front aspect of the 3-point locking system. The guide boss has a lug that fits into the blade shank, and is held by a large hex screw. As long as the screw is tight the blade is tight. If and when the blade starts to wiggle or wobble, the screw has become loose. The fix is to apply Loc-tite to the screw, cinch it up tight and let it set. After that the blade is rock solid...better than Microtech. The twin locking arms swing in behind the guide boss, pushing it hard into the front of the steel guide frames which makes lock up very tight. If you really yank on the blade edge-wise you can force movement against the spring-loaded locking arms, but it's a superior system to MT's single lock behind one side of the blade shank.
The Infidel is a true "fighting knife" with it's dedicated dagger blade, and alloy chassis designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip. The Infidel's deployment system uses twin springs and a longish button push which results in a very "soft" deployment that persons with less strong hands can actuate. Fit and finish is excellent which goes without saying. In real life this is the knife a professional would choose - it's light, compact, sculpted for best hand control, and deploys a blade just shy of 4" that can pierce through heavy clothing, wood, metal, and bone. Of course it came razor sharp!
I would advise anyone who wants a "real" OTF combat worthy knife to spend the money on this one!
The knife feels very solid and great in my hand. Overall terrific quality, and is highly recommended.
Also for those that have never shopped Blade HQ. It is a great place to buy knives online. I have used them for years.
I laughed when I saw someone say it's a $400 fidget toy, but it's not far off the mark. Well worth what I paid for it on sale at Blade HQ. Great place to buy knives.
Just a tiny bit of up-down play, but thats to be expected for reliability. Absolutely no side-side play. Crisp, fast, and the fitment of this OTF cannot be described. You have to hold one, and slide that perfectly grooved firing button yourself, to understand.
When Blade HQ FINALLY put them on sale, I had to jump on it. Good thing I did too, because they are sold out as of today 11/22/19.
Is the knife spendy ? Yes, But it's a Benchmade. My first, but it won't be my last.....
Wow, better than expected. And a steal.
Not really meant for that EDC cutting boxes and stuff.
Action is clean and crisp.
I will tell you from personal experience that the deployment action on this knife is outstanding. I thoroughly tested it one day in class and the blade shot directly through the palm of my hand. Please do not do what I did. I am telling you right now: this blade deploys hard enough to go through flesh, and it dependably can be re-mounted back onto its spring housing when the blade hits bone, all with a flick of the firing mechanism. Its a great design and is perfect for soldiers and lawmen in need of a last ditch friend.
Seriously. Don't deploy it into your hand. Yes, it works.
