First off, I would like to say that I had my eye on this as soon as I saw some youtube videos pertaining to this knife. I traded for this knife and I think it has already become my favorite. I like it so much that I will have to get another one to keep in my collection so that I can use the one I carry now. Yes, thats right, I carry the onslaught but have never used it and I will not until I order another one. This is such a beautiful knife and there really isn't anything I don't like about it. I know that some people often complain about the thickness of the blade but you have to consider that this is a purpose built knife. Complaining about the thickness of the knife is like complaining about low profile tires on a race car. This knife, in my opinion, is my favorite benchmade to date.

Glad to hear you like your 741,and it is such a large knife for EDC.
I also will buy an extra knife for carry,and one for the safe,that is if it has some sort of value to me.Alot of knives are to beautiful to use and abuse..Take care

Yep. I love my 741BK. The only thing I can find wrong with carrying it (not wrong with it) is that it just isn't sheeple friendly, so it doesn't get much pocket time. I think I'd get in more trouble carrying it (3.5" limit in my city) than my Microtech LUDT (non-auto state), just on looks alone. But it IS a sexy sexy knife, and SMOOTH. Smoothest blade I have once it was broken in. As for the blade thickness, it's also very wide (tall?) so it isn't like an axe edge at all. Should be a very nice slicer, but of course I wouldn't know, I'm too afraid to scuff up the BK on it.

Wait a minute... I was just thinking about that blade thickness part, and decided to pull it out of the safe for a better look. It isn't thick at all! For some reason I remembered it being thick too, I think it tricks you into thinking that because of the shape. And it's so tall with a nice tall flat grind that it should be a wicked slicer.

Glad to hear you like your new 741, I also have a 741 and am Carrying as I type this, it is a large folder but carrys very easily. And it is a slicer on steroids, one of the sharpest benchmades I have ever recieved from benchmade..

Love my 741.

You should look into a 740
LUM KNIVES ROCK!

I love my 741 as well. It is a great slicer. The carry is better then expected. The crowned spine and the black nickel hardware are a fantastic addition for the price point. I think I amm going to send mine off to Tom Krein and have him knock the rhino horn off of it and re-crown the spine, maybe add some jimping to the blade for my thumb as well. We'll see though. I like the knife the way it is too.

Knock the horn off?! That's my favorite part! Why not just get a 740?

I picked up a first production run #226 from a fellow on Knifeforums for $100.Best money I have spent on a Benchmade.It carries very easy for a larger piece.Can not find one negative about this knife.Best piece Benchmade has put out recently.
