What's the word on this? The extra blade seems cool, and useful especially when you need to use it around sheeple.

The 921 is my favorite daily use knife. The 3.3" main blade is as unthreatening as the 2" jobbie and all of the hardware uses the same size torx wrench. The S30V, as heat treated by Benchmade, holds a really nice edge while being stain resistant and easy to sharpen. Plus, the shape that Mr. Osborne chose for the blade and the handle makes it great for handling chores that require piercing or scoring.
The aluminum handle is very smooth, but don't let that steer you elsewhere. The butt end fits into the palm like an egg and it has a protrusion that makes it resemble a subhilt blade. It's like a slimmer version of the Ares 73x handle.
Are there drawbacks to it? Sure, it's all about compromises.
First, New Graham Pharmacy can't keep the plain version available on their website long enough (often making the price higher if you go elsewhere). Second, Wharncliffe is a blade that disregards belly which may limit the amount of uses where the 921 excels. Third, there's only one color choice.

They are great feeling EDC knives at least to my hands, I have always liked a Wharncliff blade so that sets well with me, the small secondary blade is handy for small things like opening letter but mainly just has a cool factor, the knife looks great and has a sheeple friendly way about it if you find that important, I doubt you will be disappointed in one.
