dtsoll,
Carbon fiber handles are tough, D2 as heat-treated by Benchmade is tough (not as revered as Dozier-D2, merely unearthly), and Osborne's style of clip point is tough. This knife, if you felt inclined to do so, will make a very beautiful beater. If you can't bring yourself to use it, it's still custom-made quality in a production knife at a production price (not Cold Steel or CRKT mind you, but much less than a small Sebenza or Umfaan). As something to show off, it's the knife to get. As something to use hard, it's the knife to get. The 154CM steel and aluminum handle in the regular 941 are more than adequate for most jobs, but why settle if you can afford the stronger, prettier knife?
Y'all's fine anywhere. It's American, after all.
