Benchmade Rift 950

There's really nothing (within reason) I wouldn't use this folder for. EDC, fighting, survival, hunting, you name it. Fantastic knife. Questions are welcome. And please rate HONESTLY. I'm not begging for high ratings. If you think it's "Poor", then rate it poor.

I AGREE THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST KNIVES OUT THERE! I own about 30 high grade knives and this is my edc choice every day! super strong! does not rip pants at all. i have heard about beig able to convert to assist?

[UJS8X]

You're the first person to mention conversion to assist to me but I definitely think it's plausible to convert any manual opening Benchmade Axis lock knife to assisted opening or even automatic. From what I gather, the only real differences are the presence of certain springs and simple parts that can be bought or easily machined out. I wouldn't really trust myself to modify one but if you ever attempt it, let me know how it goes!

I wish this was assisted open. I wish you could have your option of any model assisted open. I like my barrage. Such a awsome knife. Super strong and quick opening.

I also like the Barrage. When I was ordering this, I was sort of torn between the Barrage, the Rift and The Presidio. Personally, I've never been particularly fond of assisted openers since I have several autos but they are still quite handy.

In my opinion, the 940 is a bit better.

ihave had my rift apart to see and the liners are pre drilled for most of the stuff including thje lock. i think the end part of the blade(near the end of serrations) must be filed for it to work correctly but it will work!
