[ATF6281914]

@Burson69

What up, Burson?!

Nope, traded it a few months ago. Why?

[NMSknives]

uggh im waiting for my orange 551 to come in the mail cant wait

[JBK52596]

it says u.s.a. in between the wings of the butterfly

[BigCheswick]

@exsigint Did you adjust the pivot screw? If not thats it for sure. The Axis lock needs usually needs adjusting with a simple turn of the pivot. When tight you can't flick open the knife, when loose it flicks v/easily but can rattle. You will be able to get it just right no worries. I love all kinds of knives, but in my exp the AXIS lock is toughest, and I really abuse all of my blades. Cheers.

Is this knife self-opened proof ?? I have yet to find ambidextrous fold knife sub 100usd that is self-opened proof. Protruding knife tip is just nasty.

[TheEnglishRedneck45]

@bebegique Self-opened proof? I've not heard that term before, but I take you mean - is it impossible for the knife to open by accident? If you do, then it pretty much is, due to the design of the Axis lock keeping positive pressure on keeping the blade in the handle when closed.

wow you bored me to death get to it man please

[SambaMaquina]

pfff !! nothing in the sidebar !!! :(

[11ineedaname]

[gcardinal]

nice video

[PittRules55]

If you hold yours at the tip do you feel side to side play?

[ATF6281914]

@PittRules55

None at all.

[SCIFIaction]

Nice review!

[ATF6281914]

@exsigint

Thanks, I appreciate it.

No rattle at all. Yours must've been defective from the factory. I would've sent it to BM to fix.

[tubaknifeguy]

Nice, I just fouind one for $65. Love the entertainer

[SteelArtHD]

Very good pics and useful video, Thanks!!

[UglymanUSA]

[ESGCmfr87]

what did you say when you asked benchmade for the ilver pocket clip??

[RightWingDevil]

it actually does say usa on the knife. under the benchmade emblem it says:

551

USA

[divin69]

The blade metal on the H2O is indeed corrosion resistant, but its scales, pocket clip, and Axis hardware are not and WILL rust. Yep!

Nice review btw, I like the orange handles!

[75SilentWarrior]

My griptilian is my favorite knife, but I wish they still made the all black Griptilian full plain edge.

[ATF6281914]

@75SilentWarrior:

You're in luck, they sell it at KnifeWorks.

Awesome Knife, would really like one of these

[biglfan18]

it says USA right under the butterfly btw

[JohnWayneColt45]

By the way..it should say U.S.A under the Benchmade logo, on the front of the blade.

[JohnWayneColt45]

Hey!!Glad to see ya back again. Great knife, i keep mine in my car for a Rescue blade;seatbelt cutter(God Forbid). Hope ya stay around awhile, bro.

[KnifeCollector1]

cool review cool knife, i want it too :D

[thecajunblaze]

Great looking knife! Thanks for the heads up on the H2O. I may have to look in to that, it may be simular to Spydercos H-1 series.?. Very nice photos at the end. You're quite the photo expert. 5 stars!

[ATF6281914]

Thanks, Blaze!

You're welcome. You're one of them dudes that could sure put the H2O though good testing. Yes, I'd believe it's the main competitor to the H1 series.

Thanks agin, photography is just another hobby of mine.
