A Reasonably Priced Benchmade? | Intersect EDC Fixed Blade

🔪 The Benchmade Intersect is a compact EDC fixed blade that genuinely surprised me — largely because it feels reasonably priced by Benchmade standards. A big part of that comes down to the use of MagnaCut steel, which makes a lot of sense for a corrosion-resistant, everyday-carry fixed blade. It’s not perfect, but once you understand what it does well — and what needs fixing — the Intersect becomes a much more compelling option than many people might expect.
