The full sized Skirmish is a bit large for me for EDC. With that said it is an awesome folder. Well made and extremely strong. Whats not to love about a titanium handle and S30V blade steel. Highly recommend it if you can find them anymore.

The Benchmark Skirmish 630BK is the best folder (for me)that I've ever purchased. The handle fits in my hand like it was custom made for me and I love the incredible recurved blade. I've used the Skirmish in a two or three knife EDC rotation for over 5 years and the Skirmish works as well today if not better than the day it first arrived. It's hard to believe that this large a knife carries as well as it does due to the narrower width of the handle. It locks up like a vault, it's buttery smooth when opening and closing the knife and it's scary sharp...what more could you ask for?

I purchased mine on e-bay (lightly used ) and it's a big chunky knife at 6.8 oz.it's almost too big for a everyday carry. The blade shape is great and we all know that the "bevelled " thumb hole should not have been "bevelled despite how good it looks and the craftsmanship is typical top quality Benchmade . I am trying to sell it because it's too big for me , I should have gotten the 635 ! Fortunately I have a bunch and if I get stuck with it , it looks cool and is constructed with very good materials. My gripe lies with the "rainbow" colored accents on the handle , sorta doesn't go with the knife if ya know what I mean . The photo on e-bay made it look like a black handle and silver accents . "live and learn" If I ever hook-up with an Amaznian ,I will give it to her on her birthday !

The Skirmish is a great frame lock knife that get over looked because of it size. The blade also get sneered at because of the recurve and 4 holes.

I am here to tell you, you had better get one before they are so hard to find that they reach $300 on the secondary market.

These carries relatively small since it packs a lot of blade for the handle. The ergo's are perfect for my hand but could pose a problem smaller hands. The thumb ramp has good jimping. The knife deploys smooth, and locks up solid. The recurve and the tall flat grind make for a great slicer.
