The Benchmade 907D2 or variations there of. I bought my first Benchmade 912(a derivative of this knife) when I was visiting family in Colorado. I bought it in a pawn shop, completely ignorant of Benchmade( back before I was into knives or lights)...Within 24 hours I was so impressed by the sheer functionality and quality that when I headed to the airport, I stopped by the post office and Priority shipped the knife back home. Here is a photo of my 907 D2 next to my Presidio(also a good knife, but the 907D2 is like some of my Surefire/PK/FourSevens lights-quality that makes you feel comfortable in a life threatening situation).
Sorry-I had to change photos due to loss of 3rd party image hosting by Photobucket so the description no longer matches the photo:

The blade opens easily, yet feels so tight & secure you could do anything and it would hold up to the task without problem. The D2 holds it's edge well, yet can be touched up and razor sharp very quickly. I lost my first one, bought another in 3 weeks I missed it so much. A story that has replayed a couple of times. Recently, after buying a Black Tanto Blade 907D2 to replace a lost one, I found the missing knife under an a/c vent under the driver seat of my Chrysler 300. For the first time, I have two 907's at the same time! I must admit that for the next Benchmade I buy will be the Mini-griptillian... so many people have said what a great knife it is....

Its a toss up between a 940 (my current favorite is a frankenstein with 940-1 blade and g10 scales from a 940-2 and silver standoffs from a 940-1601) and griptilian for me.

I love Benchmade, but I can not make up my mind.
Since Photobucket is no longer working, here is my Server:

Yes, this is a bit ironic, but I like benchmades
I hope that I can upload pictures directly here or find a good alternative for Photobucket.
A listing I can make, but without guarantee
