If you are not part of it, I suggest you go for it. It&#8217;s almost like having Christmas in March. This round I had a pretty hefty chunk to spend. But really, I knew what I wanted from the day I made my big purchase. I felt like I was sitting on an egg, waiting for it to hatch, for a year and 5 months. I made a big purchase in December 2017 or January 2018, the rewards didn&#8217;t hit until March of 2019. There was some fine print about purchases made around that time would not be reflected in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, I was hoping to make a purchase in 2018. Instead I had to wait. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What did I pick?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When I made my big purchase, I quickly went to the REI site to figure out what I wanted to get. This round it was the Crooked River knife by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benchmade.com\/crooked-river-family.html\">Benchmade<\/a>. Why? The orange highlights of course. So a year goes by, my brother reminds me of the REI rewards, so I quickly head over to the store to go knife shopping. Mind you, since 2017 and today, there have been at least 5-8 news knives that hit the market. So my wish list went from Crooked River to:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Mini Crooked River<\/li><li>North Fork Knife<\/li><li>Bug Out<\/li><li>Pardue<\/li><li>Hidden Canyon<\/li><li>Puukko<\/li><li>Saddle Mountain<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I made REI take out all the knives they could so I could get a feel of the weight, blade, gimping, and over all feel. Then it came down to the Crooked River, Mini Crooked River, and the North Fork.  Then I knocked out the North Fork and brought in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/product\/883984\/benchmade-940-osborne-knife\">940 Osborne<\/a>. Then I was stuck. Do I go carbon fiber or wood? Also, the 940 Osborne and the Mini Crooked River were pretty much the same size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ended up going with the biggest blade possible and wood &#8211; Crooked River with Stabilized Wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A traditional shape combined with modern technology that pushes the preconceived notions of what a hunting knife should be. Made in USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Designer: Benchmade<br>Mechanism: AXIS<br>Action: Manual-opening<br>Blade Steel: CPM-S30V (58-60 HRC)<br>Blade Length: 4.00&#8243; (10.16cm)<br>Blade Thickness: 0.124&#8243; (3.15mm)<br>Open Length: 9.30&#8243; (23.62cm)<br>Closed Length: 5.33&#8243; (13.54cm)<br>Handle Thickness: 0.60&#8243; (15.24mm)<br>Weight: 5.41oz. (153.37g) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blade Edge: Plain<br>Blade Finish\/Color:  Satin<br>Blade Steel: CPM-S30V (58-60 HRC)<br>Blade Style\/Shape: Clip-point<br>Clip Type: Split arrow<br>Clip Position: Reversible Tip-Up<br>Glass Breaker: No<br>Lanyard Hole: Yes<br>MOLLE Compatible: No<br>Sheath Type: No Sheath<br>Use: Every Day, Hunting, Outdoor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overall Rating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After holding this knife for a few hours. I&#8217;m totally happy I went with it. Warning for people with small hands. This knife is huge!  The AXIS mechanism is smooth and flawless. 5 stars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crookedriver2.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6171\" data-link=\"https:\/\/edelalon.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=6171\" class=\"wp-image-6171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crookedriver2.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crookedriver2-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crookedriver2-768x373.png 768w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crookedriver2-696x338.png 696w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crookedriver2-864x420.png 864w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crookedriver2-600x292.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crookedriver1.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6172\" data-link=\"https:\/\/edelalon.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=6172\" class=\"wp-image-6172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crookedriver1.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crookedriver1-600x292.png 600w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crookedriver1-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crookedriver1-768x373.png 768w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crookedriver1-696x338.png 696w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crookedriver1-864x420.png 864w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just received my REI dividend.
