First Impressions -- Benchmade Nakamura: Most Excellent Gent's EDC

Published: 9 years ago

Here we have the Benchmade 484 Nakamura, an elegant gentleman's EDC blade, featuring a spear point blade 3 1/8" in length in Bohler M390 steel. It's handle is fairly normal constuction, with 3D machined and contoured G10 scales over full stainless steel liners. It's handle, although just a bit under 4" in length and made with finger grooves, is much more comfortable than I expected. The ergos of the Nak are very good to excellent. The construction is top notch. The aesthetics are gorgeous, and the performance in EDC tasks is superb. Great little knife!
