Benchmade Rift 950bk (non serated black blade)..work of art
Benchmade 950bk Rift. This is the black non serrated blade with the two tone charcoal/black handle. I knew this was a sharp looking knife but honestly the pics dont do the Rift justice. This knife is a work of art. Blade lock up is rock solid with absolutely no play. The knife action comes a bit stiff right out of the box but a bit of gun oil and working the action in front of the hi-def transforms it into lightning fast opening and closing. This is a very easy task to do because the Rift is one of those knives you want to handle and fondle just because it feels so good in the hand. The G10 two tone charcoal/black handle is rough in all the right places to give it a no slip grip in the wet but smooth under the pocket clip to not tear up your pants. Benchmade was thinking with this design and it shows across the entire knife. I took the knife apart to see how everything works and it was easy and enjoyable.

Rock Solid
I just purchased the Benchmade 950 Rift and I love it. It is a great knife. It is the first one in a while that I have purchased that has not have a black combo edge and I have to say I really like the look of it. The reverse tanto is very nice providing a lot of cutting edge where it is needed across the front of the blade with a nice up-swept curve. The knife is rock solid. The G10 scales make for a great grip and the steel liners contribute to the overall rigidity and feeling of quality. The knife is fast to open as the thumb stud is perfectly position for a rapid flick opening. I think these axis knives are faster than automatics. When I bought this knife it was $103.00 making it to good to pass up. Amazon raised the price the same week but it is still a great knife. I would not hesitate to buy use and carry this knife.

Misleading pic and discription, great knife.
Like the title says the pic is wrong and the description is lacking key information. This knife has the charcoal/black handle, satin colored blade, and plain edge. Now that that is all cleared up.... The overall quality of the knife is great which can and should be expected from a company like Benchmade. It is not as sharp as some of my other knives but is more than enough for most cutting chores. The pocket clip is good not too tight not too loose. The blade takes some repeated opening and closing before gets broken in to the point you can flick it out with almost no effort. The axis lock feels solid and is easy to operate. I own many other knives and this was my first Benchmade..... it will not be my last. Overall I would recommend this knife especially at this price.
