So I have or have had every knife on this list. I'll try and rank them from my top choice to the last choice and why for any prospective buyers.
The Freek is my #1. Great feel in hand and M4 steel. Solid choice at that price.
Second is the Vector. One of a kind grind on the blade. Flipper is excellent, S30 steel is good for an EDC, G10 scales. Really nice knife a lot of people sleep on.
Third is the mini Bugout. This isn't the one I would choose as I think the price is ridiculous for a mini Bug but it's S90 and carbon scales which are both really nice. Personally, I'd skip this one and the next two.
Fourth is the redoubt. It's D2 steel which is great one something stout like my Adamas mini (my favorite Benchmade EDC tied with my mini crooked river) but totally lost on this knife. The handle is cheap, the knife just doesn't feel nice in any way. Not impressed with it at all.
Lastly, the narrows. Oh my…shame on Benchmade for charging this for a titanium scaled M390. Full disclosure, the only reason I bought this is because I practically stole it for $200 from my local gun store. I never used it but absolutely no way I would pay anything more than that. This price alone is what puts it in last place. I like M390 and I like titanium but shame on Benchmade and their $500 ask.
My two cents that nobody asked for, hope it helps shed some light.

thanks was wondering about the redoubt, think I'll pass.
No. You usually pay to ship to them. Like $5 or so, knives aren't that heavy.
For me, they won't ship it back to my house but a retailer so it kind of cuts into the nice factor, but the lifetime is a must on OTF types.

If none of the knives here are your jam and you are a vet or active military bladehq will take off 30% on all Benchmade products. You need to call in to order or after the fact to get the 30% refunded though.
