Benchmade 530 Pardue: Ultra Light, Ultra Thin, Ultra Deadly

Here's a short overview of the super lightweight Benchmade 530 Pardue folder. Another in a line of dagger-inspired knives designed by Mel Pardue for Benchmade, the 530 is purpose-built to be super thin and light -- the knife you can always have with you on a really, really bad day. It's pretty well-executed, although some compormises in function were definitely made in the interest of that economical form factor.

This one comes to us from my viewer and sharpening customer, Paul, a fellow Hoosier. I believe the knife is brand new, but Paul wanted it to have a perfect edge... which it certainly has now! Enjoy!
