Massdrop x Schwarz Perpetua EDC Folding Knife

Feb 15, 2018

Personally I'm not a fan of the design on a few different areas:
When open the thumbstud looks like it's seated too forward towards the tip especially with the cutout of the handle near the Axis lock; thumbstuds situated like that tend to get caught up in whatever material you're cutting through. I'd also imagine it being an annoyance while sharpening as it doesn't appear to be removable.
The handle also extends far too forward and practically overlaps where the heel of the edge is, which will likely cause contact against a stone during sharpening. In fact, at 1:56 of your promo video you can see that G-10 scales accidentally made contact with the belt grinder due to this design choice.

I'd also prefer to see some rounded edges or beveling on the G-10 for the Axis lock as Benchmade usually does.

guvnorThank you for your comments. 1) The thumbstud position is a give and take scenario. We feel we have an optimized position between being too far forward on the blade vs being too close to the scale during the opening and closing motion (particularly when at about 90 degrees). We understand there are varying preferences when it comes to this positioning, but I do feel it's in the right spot. 2) Where the edge meets the choil is in fact slightly forward of the scale if you draw a vertical line.
Thanks again, I really do appreciate feedback.
