Small fixed blades never really did it for me until my CPK EDC2 came along. Now, thanks to Big DJ and REK, I loves me sum 3.5 Ember in Crueware and CF! Pics with EDC for size comparison.C38FF47A-C31F-4782-BFC8-343D0DA0964A.jpeg792847E6-236F-436E-9309-6346CD328300.jpeg

Only had it one day now, but so far I am really liking it!!! The glass breaker is a little bit annoying, a lot of folks don't like it. It's kinda meh IMO. Benchmade is coming out with several other variants this year (dark blue, red, teal, maybe others, can't recall for sure; some have DLC black blades instead of the PVD dark earth color), and all those have a lanyard loop at the back end instead of the glass breaker. They're also made of BM's Grivory (glass-filled nylon) instead of the CF elite (carbon fiber-filled nylon) that this one uses.

The blade is nice and thin, thin behind the edge as well, and nearly full-flat ground, so it's pretty slicey. At Rockwell C of ~64 (they claim 63-65) in CruWear, it should hold an edge for a good amount of time. I could definitely tell it was a harder steel when sharpening last night. Price seems a little steep at just under $300, but it's a surprisingly nice package overall.

I hadn't really wanted one too much, until I saw my brother's on Saturday and was far more impressed than I expected to be. Had one in my hands a day after I started looking... (Helps that the BF member that helped me out lives only ~60 miles away!)
