Benchmade 140SBKD2 Nimravus: Excellent and Well Balanced
Great knife, I first bought this so I can have a fixed blade. I originally wanted a plain edge because I already own a semi serrated edge knife: the Benchmade 550SHG www.youtube.com So I settled with this
Overall, great well balanced knife, good weight, just under 7 oz and can really do a lot while keeping a good edge. I really love the design of the blade. Down fall is that it maybe small for some uses and the jimping in the thumb rail is a little high. Yes, I bought the D2 version because I wanted the higher grade steel. Don’t get me wrong I love 154CM also. For me, it was availability and pricing at the time. I still recommend both. I also found that the 154CM is slightly lighter, which isn’t a bad thing. Minor note: they also have the 141 version which is the tanto tip. I purchased this knife from www.ombexpress.com They have great customer service and pretty good prices More information: www.benchmade.com Of course, you can meet me at my store at Western Knives and Utility in Fairfield, CA www.rjbuckknives.com

i love this knife. i was looking at the 154cm you mentioned. i really like the sheath do you know if the the 154cm has the same sheath? great review. keep up the good work.

Yeah it does, and if you get ones with different colors like Desert, you get the matching sheath too. Keep an eye out for them lol
The 154CM is actually a little lighter than the D2 steel knife. Lol I still like them both xD

Good review i like the sheath also!
One thing from a reviewing standpoint, i could see you fidgeting alot so basically what im trying to say is just slow down and relax it would just make it more presentable!
Over all Great review 5/5!

Thanks for going over the sheath. I love this knife soo much but i’m looking for the 141 w/ the tanto tip. I was curious to know if it would be at all possible to see a demo of the sheath on a molle vest or rigging. Again thanks for the review.
