I have had my eye on the Mk1 for some time. I was cruising my sites and came across this review . I trust DR's drop point blade design and all n normaly it wouldnt bother me on something Doug beefed up, and while all the handle specs look the same, (infact the benchmade looks like "Now comes in Don't loose me Orange"). The reviewer was pretty harsh on the handle feel and runner marks. I still want to believe in the Mk1 but this handle part concerned me. Any opinions would be great before I wait 6-8 weeks to find out. Thanks all!
