I would go with the plain edge as I have never been into serrated edges. I would go with the green handle too as I dig the benchmade green. Little bigger than I thought… not a bad thing. On my list of considerations for sure.
I have a serrated claymore in green ...truly a awesome knife all pro..no con
I have the black serrated edge. Bought mine when they first came out. Carrying it now in my edc rotation. Love the knife.
I have the 9070BK & the 9070BK-1, and I totally love them both!😎
For what I use a knife for I prefer the plane edge, but in the future, I hope to get one of every kind of the Benchmade Claymore!🧐
Just ordered mine in black, thanks for the great video with close ups… alot of other people who do “reviews” dont even show it up close or do they open and close it…. Stoked to get it finally… they been out of stock for months now
OD GREEN/PLAIN EDGE!
Just picked up a serrated edge one. My hardest working, beat them up, knives tend to have partially serrated edges. I find them very useful for fibrous materials and all sorts of things. I never got the hate for them and suspect those plain edge "hard use" knives are safe queens.
Been waiting for the plain edge to come out, most likely the green. Curious to try the serrated as well, so who knows, might be a good one to try out. Really diggin this knife! Thanks for the review Zach 🍻
love the serrated
Thanks for update Zach
Just ordered mine in ranger green with the plain edge! I hope I like it!
I like the plain edge versions better... I like combo edges, but the blade length and edge type has to be right in relationship to the amount of serations. In this knife I prefer the plain edge. Excellent Zach!
I want the plain edge. It a great knife but I don't usually have need for serrations. I think I may go for the black one. Thank you Zach for showing the plain edge. It's a good knife!
Waiting for my own.. PLAIN. Arriving tomorrow., Thank you for the video.
Oh very nice!!
Beautiful! Thank-you for the show and review; I just recently found your channel and it's awesome stuff, plz keep up the good work. ...Anyways, I think I see a potential, worthy EDC (plain/green) to finally replace an old Griptillian I've been carrying for many years...sigh, I suppose it's time to start saving up.
plane edge looks nicer however the serrated is more functional. serrations are better for rope cutting etc as we know
ehh.. more functional for certain tasks maybe. still a preference thing.
The “rope cutting” argument is so stupid. I’ve literally never had trouble with a plain edge on rope and really how much rope does any one person cut in a day compared to everything else? What else are serrations more functional for??
Serrated is a downside since it's not covered by life sharp
@@andrewkeeton3627 I work my own ranch in southern Montana, I cut a lot of rope everyday because of hay and halters and junk straps for hauling. The plain edge gets dull and if not sharpened daily will make cutting the twine and rope a pain in my rear. But it is a personal preference. If i didnt cut as much twine and rope i would def stick with the plain edge.
@@andrewkeeton3627 serrations give you technically more cutting edge at the same space of the whole blade. It cuts way better through many different man-made materials. ;)
Plain edge for me I only have 2 autos with serrated edges and carry them when the cutting applications for that day require it.
When I served I carried a 9600 with serrations. Long before that I carried a Gerber 06 but had problems with the fine powder sand stopping it for always fully deploying. Great knife but not well designed for playing in the worlds largest sand box.
Some of the OTFs were fine but after cleaning them out you wanted to get rid of as much lubes as possible. That find sand truly works hard to make sure everything you own has sand in it or on it.
I like the plain edge...bought it.
Very cool! I prefer plain edge myself as I have a full serrated blade in my Leatherman. Great video Zach 👍
Combo edge for actual tactical work straight edge if you're just EDCing a box cutter. And I like straight edge blades
Love the combo blade knife, you can do so much more with it.
I prefer plain edge but I definitely see how serrated edges are beneficial depending on its job purpose!
Nice Robert!! Yeah the tasks make the difference for sure!
Yeah....I would have to go plain edge!! Looks really good!! Thanks for the update Zach!!!
You’re Welcome! We will get one in your hand very soon to try out!!
@@zachstuff 👍👍👍👍
That black one with the plain edge is more my jam but I can promise I definitely like the others as well OOH 😯 That SNAP 👏👏
This is one I really need
I like the aesthetic of the BK-1 with the plain edge. The coating looks good too. Thanks for sharing and comparing. #DSKFS
Just ordered the plane edge 3.6” in ranger green today. First benchmade knife, really like the looks can’t wait to get it in the hand.
Nice choice and it is a snappy one ready to do some work!! Enjoy!
You can tell it's got some kick! Black plain edge.👌
I am waiting on my Claymore purchase due to the number of limited availability knives we have coming out. I like the textured cerakote. I was going to say it looks like it almost has a dull luster until you said it is flat black.
I prefer the plain edge and the green has a slight advantage for me right now.
Bought the green plain edge today. Would have bought it last year but can't deal with serrations. I paid fat for it but it was in store in my hand. The blade is nearly identical to my drop point CRK Inkosi.
Plain edge for sure. I just bought the black. I would have liked the green or a host of other colors, but black was in stock and I was ready for a new knife. A Benchmade automatic that is light, a nice size and a good price.
Love the plain edge. I hate serrations. I picked up the ranger green today and it's as snappy as my protech knives
I like the plane edge and the lock up is awesome 😎 like a fixed blade slmost
Not Braille, but Morse Code ;)
Indeed! Misspoke that one big!!
BM doing some beast designs - def plain edge
Very nice 🔥🔥🔥
I just got mine and love it. My only issue is the pocket clip isn't beveled enough. Very hard to clip it into my pocket.
Purchased! Plain edge all the way.
I would love to see the comparison to the discontinued contego. I have carried the contego daily for over 5 years and it is by far my favorite. But just on appearances this looks very similar in size.
Go ahead and send that here!
It better be balanced! Perfectly balanced...as all things should be!
Ordered mine after I got a look at it on this vid basically. Since it was one of the list I had allocated for this year.
Nice KJ! Yes snappy & balanced! Cool you got one ordered and I look forward to see how you like it.
Serrations! From experience, they work wonderfully on seat belts, rope, nylon twine, web gear, etc. However it’s a personal preference…if you don’t want to fool around with sharpening serrations and they don’t fit your needs, go with the straight edge. Easier to sharpen and maintain overall. Now that I’m in a “desk job” perhaps I’d go straight edge now…
All great points! I use serrations at work often and don’t tend to carry them on my weekends. 🤙🏼
Serrated 100%. It's all about having options. I just purchased the serrated direct from BM. Ranger Green. Bad to the Bone.
Nice choice Gregg! I have been using my serrated one this past year and it performs very well!
I like serrations for the functionality and every day use. However that smooth plane edge will do in a pinch. All black is sweet although the OD green is growing on me since I have a a knife in that color. Lefty’s rejoice on the Claymore.
I like the plain edge and green handle, though I wish they would use a DLC coating instead of that non stick frying pan thick coating on the blade. As well as a plain non coated blade version which I would prefer even a satin blade would be better I just am not into black coated blades that much.
That thing got a crazy clutch when released. Awsome.
Got that sweet action!!!
Benchmade please bring back the 8600 and 860 Bedlam.
I’m a serrated fan but this new one looks great 😊
I have no problem with a partially serrated 3.4 "blade - especially in a quality steel like CPM-D2 . Yes , serrations can be a little tricky to sharpen , but in an emergency situation I believe they'll make quicker work of a seat belt or rope , while not having to be quite as sharp as a straight edge to do the same thing .
What is the purpose of a serrated edge? I just started getting into knifes.
Plain edge 4 me. Ordered the ranger green black blade today.
I like your style!! Enjoy your new knife!
I’m good with plain or combo edge but ever since I came across Magnus Andersson here on TH-cam I have come to love serrations. I’m gonna have to beat on one of these and see how it does…if I can ever put this damn Microtech Ultratech down. Thing’s addictive
I carried a griptilian since 2006.
I just lost it.
Gee, guess I'll have to buy one of these. Lol
Such a bummer you just lost your best grip! Well this one will not disappoint!
I got the plain edge. Love it
Right on! So snappy!!
I like the plane edge BK all black one. I wish it wasn't over 200 dollars, but it worth it.
Plain edge black and gray would be my choice, but more interested in some upcoming releases.
They are Great and I like the plain edge but I think I'm still gonna wait on the Gold Class 945 ( I haven't talked myself out if it yet lol)
Ohhh great choice Mike! I have seen and handled one, and yeah they’re pretty great!
I have the black plain edge and I really like it
Very nice!! 👍🏻
It's like an auto bugout on steroids
I have the other one would love the plain edge
Plain edge 💯
I like the plain edges I don't do serrated edges at all
I just bought the green plain edge from DLT
plain edge FTW 🍻
I like both blade styles but for a heavy duty blade I would prefer serrations, I've needed them before & didn't have them.
I’ve got a plain edge on the way
I just bought the AFO 2... dang it, you may have sold me on another knife. I was originally looking at the claymore, but when the AFO caught my eye, it spoke to me, so i pulled the trigger on it.... but i think i need to add the claymore to my collection. It seems as if the claymore opens much faster than the AFO 2.
It always happens that way!! Yes, the Claymore has more spring/snap to it than the AFO series.
Plain edge always preferred but serrations only on screaming deals.
G2 is next gen NASA tech
Most definitely!
I like plain edge better. Definitely go with the green
Man that blade really fires out.
It’s super snappy! Dual spring.
Plane edge for me. Isn't that super expensive for D2 steel? I like the looks of the knife though.
It’s an upgraded D2 from Crucible. Not super steel level, but better than the standard D2.
Team serrated ftw!
There yah go!!
Like the plain edge, I’d love that knife. Unfortunately here in good old California I can only have an auto in less than 2 inches. Hollywood influence for you, it’s ridiculous.
OK value at $200, or less. My hands aren't particularly sensitive, but there are some mildly irritating sharp edges, easily felt between the scales. Paint on the blade is rough and grainy, but easily smoothed out with a scrubber pad. Opened 2 longnecks, and can already see the coating chipping off the spine. Used a sphericle dremel bit to relieve the inside edges of the scales, so it's much more comfortable in hand. Needs another 8-10mm of blade, but BM is now too woke to offer folders over 3.5". Submitted review on the BM site last week, but it has not been posted, and probably won't be :(
I'm stuck claymore or adamas auto any recommendations?
Thickness will have to be your decision factor. The auto Adamas is thicker and heavier than the Claymore. Claymore has double springs and is snappy. The auto Adamas you can tear a house down with!
@@zachstuff Thanks bro great video also
I’m more of a plain edge person myself for the fact they’re easier to sharpen
Is the handle a plastic feel?
Little bit. Not as much as the Griptilian’s
If serrations are an option, more often than not I'll go with serrations. IMO they add character and enhance the look of the blade(not always, but a VAST majority of the time)and they can add an intimidation factor(Cold Steel Marauder Bowie is a great example of this). Both of these claymores are beautiful knives, but, without hesitation, I gotta give it to the serrated one.
👊👊👊👊👍👍👍👍
I really do prefer plain Edge knives
Plain edge.
I like them both. Would go for the plain edge. But why does 'red' mean go? Left hand yes! Benchmade is very good about left handed clips. However, about that plastic and tool steel for $200.00+...yikes!!
serrated or not serrated? That is the question.
Hmmmm. Great question! I say serrated for the overall function. But one of each!
For me it would be Black on Black plain edge...
Why this didn't come out first idk? Plane edge just looks tons better
Agreed! I’m guessing it was a serrated reason!
plain edge over serrated for sure!
Plain edge all the way. I don't like combo edges. If I want serrations, make it the whole blade.
we all really did get fatter over the pandemic xd (including me(
Get one of each. Lol
💯
Plain edge. Serrated is a pain in the ass too sharpen.
Plane
Not serrated
Benchmade is over rated.
Enjoy your collection
