Benchmade Pika G10: "Pinkachu" Redemption

The Benchmade Pika II is difficult to open handed due to its overly strong back spring. That with some other minor issues resulted in my low likability and a tepid review previously. Enter the Pika G10 model, marketed under the BM Harley Davidson banner for now. It fixes some of the "Pinkachu" issues and is really a different knife. First, the Pika G10 deploys much quicker since it has a well-balanced back spring; not too strong, not too weak (it amazes me when a company gets this simplest detail wrong as it can ruin a knife's appeal). The knife's G10 scales and purple titanium liners are definite upgrades and make the knife more ergonomic, much thinner, and better looking. The G10 and titanium increase cost but also the looks functionality; the thinness achieved is marvelous. The G10 slab is well scalloped to allow access to the 14mm unbeveled deployment hole. The loop style pocket clip is the same (and adequate for POU)and carries deep and unobtrusively when oriented for tip down carry.
