Gorgeous! Top of my list! Can't wait to see it! Assisted flipper...absolute must have!

Too bad it's not a 4" blade...

Very cool.
Definitely will be checking this one out.
Agreed that 4" would have been nice...
But I'm liking that spear point a lot.
I'm willing to bet that those who didn't jive with the 490 Arcane will find something to like here.

I will be getting this one.
Looks pretty nice!
G10 makes for great possibilities.
I just wish they made it in S90V like its little brother Arcane.

This one floats my boat as well.
I don't understand the need for a safety, though.

I'm definitely in for one as well, looks like a keeper. The big daddy to the 490 and with G10, ought to great.

Like the safety integration, as long as it’s not a button on the spine.

This design really catches my attention..but ever since the Emissary, I’ve been telling myself I don’t like the assisted opener. BM maybe has found that the Axis and flipper together are best with the assist? Can’t help but wonder (as a well-tuned manual Axis is not improved upon by an assist, IMO). But that’s neither here nor there: this knife looks awesome. The G10 here vs the aluminum of the Arcane, and the overall design might change my mind on the whole subject.

Looks great to me, would love to check one out.

Too bad I'll never get one up here.

It seems BKC has always put safety on assisted AXIS. May be liability reason?

well, my stryker, and my volli both can open in my pocket and get hung up and get pointy... the volli mostly opened when i pulled it out (before i sent it in to benchmade).
