So today in the mail i got my Benchmade 210Tk Activator from NGK.

Here is a link to the knife's specs and a picture from the website
http://www.benchmade.com/products/product_detail.aspx?model=210TK

And a summary of the specs
Blade length: 2.10in
Overall length: 5.50in
Blade thickness: .140in
Blade material: s30v at 58-60HRC
Hndle materials: carbonfiber bolster with silver g10 handle scales (very smooth not grippy)
Blade shape: PE drop point utility (verry slight recurve)

And on to the review
First of all I must say that i am very impressed with this knife. The s30v blade came razor sharp, like most benchmades, although not quite as sharp as the mini-Rukus, but a little time on the sharpmaker fine and Ultrafine stones fixed that right up. The handle is very comfortable, giving a full four finger grip to my medium hands, and the jimping is very nice and helps give you superb point control. The handle scales are verry smooth which i actually like it helps make the knife more comfortable in the hand, but some people may not like that. The kydex sheath holds the knife in great and to the best of my knowlege has adjustable draw tension. Pretty much my only grip with the knife so far is that the sheath has not pocket or belt clip but i might get a tek-lok for that.

So all in all if you are looking for a small neck knife or a small fixed blade in general i highly recomend this knife it functions great and looks amazing too.
 
Thanks for the information. I don't own a necker (yet), and this one really appeals to me. I'm a Benchmade fan, and also a fan of S30V.

Stay sharp,

I just got the same knife only I had the shop convert the kydex sheath to a horizontal carry by adding a snap clip.

Mine came hair popping sharp.
 
I handled one at a local shop and fell in love with it...found a much better deal online and am anxiously awaiting it's delivery....wish I had gone ahead and ordered a tek-lok with it, not too sure about the neck-knife thing yet...

I just have a thing about tiny fixed blades, love 'em...
 
I've been wearing a 210TK around my neck, every single day, work or play, for almost 2 years now. It is indeed a superb little blade. It goes under my shirt, but on top of my T-shirt. It has fallen out of the sheath twice - both times during the first 2 months of having owned it. Then, I removed the little rubber tension spacer and trimmed and sanded it down to make it thinner. It has yet to come out on its own again.

Excellent little slicer! Congratulations. Watch the tension.... it'll raise the hair on the back of your neck when one day you find that it's been riding, unsheathed (and SHARP!), in the bottom of your tucked-in shirt for the last several minutes!!! ALL Snody-designed knives are very nice! :thumbup:
