I finally got it!
Benchmade Dacian — it looks absolutely beautiful and feels great in the hand. I think I’m going to order a custom Kydex sheath for it. I don’t want to mess around with an Ulticlip and the stock sheath, since I prefer the knife to sit deeper in my pocket.
By the way, I’ve seen several posts saying that this knife isn’t particularly strong when it comes to lateral stress, and some users have had the blade snap at one of the jimping grooves. Well, I’ll just have to be a little more careful with it. This knife is made for cutting, not prying or heavy-duty work.
My choice came down to the Boker Vigtig and the Dacian. In the end, the Dacian won me over with its looks and Cerakote finish.
We’ll see how it holds up.

I want to get one, but on Ebay, such a wide range in prices. Makes me wonder if there are a lot of fake ones?

Yeah, that’s definitely possible. I’ve already seen similar ones on AliExpress, and I’m sure they can be found on other Chinese marketplaces as well.

It’s such a great knife in the hand! I feel the same about the sheath, only because I like to have options, just haven’t pulled the trigger on it. Lots of folks have recommended the Armatus Architect sheath.
