The Benchmade 550 is the one that I had & it is a fine knife.
I think my son has it now. He kind of likes knives. I could do without them .
Spyderco makes some fine stuff too if you like that style:
This is the Native:
This is the Tenacious:
I was concerned about this one because it's made in China,but it turned out to be a mighty fine knife
Neither of these are BIG knives,so I don't know if you'd be interested in them , but they're good quality mid-size blades.
