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
