Spyderco Tasman Salt 2 Lock vs Bark River Gunny

I can tell it's brand-new and I thought if it's, if it's not been heavily used, it's a counterfeit. It's got to be so. I took a picture of the box and...

I love this knife and the benchmade company. My only reasoning for not being five stars is that one side of the diamond wood is a lot darker than the other and it looks quite off putting. Other than that it's fantastic!

If they made the grip a little larger and had steel liners I’d give it 5 stars, but I doubt I’ll be breaking the handle anytime soon. Really like the higher-end spyderco lines (made in Japan or USA)!

This is my brutally honest assessment of this $100 knife: $95 H1 blade; $3 handle; $2 construction. You decide if it's worth it. For VERY light-duty use, it's probably fine.
