I love my Benchmade knives. I don't have that particular knife but I have more than a few Axis Locks and they are all well worth the money I paid for them. I got all of them on sale over the years at significantly lower than MSRP.

I also have the PM2 and have to say that it is faster, lighter, sharper and more appealing in almost every way than any of my Benchmades. If it felt a little bit beefier in the hand(but then there goes the light weight) I would say it was the better blade hands down. As it is it is the far better value, IMHO. $122.00 is a steal for that knife.
