Benchmade Infidel vs older

[Zorros]

HK OTF made by Benchmade. Any sense how the HK compares? Quality, durabilty?(BM stopped making HK’s knives.) here’s apic of the HK.

The new HK OTF knives are made by Hogue. Quality is about the same between Hogue and Benchmade. I don't know much about HK knives but every Benchmade auto I have handled has been unimpressive. Not saying they're bad, but for the price point you can do better.

Already own this, for about 5 years right after the BM/HK contract expired. Was discounted. I have a heavy duty, dual opening Micrtech and a benchmade auto. Anything I have held is less substantial than the microtech.
