I recently purchased this stainless Steel Tanto blade as a present for my wife. She loves it and uses it everyday on the job. It has a great grip made of g10,(glass cloth / epoxy resin) that's heat and chemical resistant with a nice scale texture to it.(nice finger grooves) The blade is all business, being just long enough to have the tanto tip, bottom cutting edge, seraded teeth, and thumb studs on both sides. An all around handy knife to keep at your side. Here's the specs I researched from Benchmade.
